Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

小的时候抬起头

When I was little, I looked up

望着夜空的时候 我就想

Staring at the night sky, I would think

那一颗一颗的 都藏着谁的心愿

Each star Hidden within are someone's wishes

里面有一颗就是你

Among them, one is you

而你却在一旁笑着

But you were just smiling beside me

如果可以让时间静止的话

If I could make time stand still

让我把这一秒 给摘取下来

I'd take this one second and keep it

漫天繁星的夜里

On a night filled with countless stars

我只是想和你在一起

All I want is to be with you

默默祷念着你的名字

Silently praying your name

一次又一次

Again and again

紧紧拥抱着你

Holding you tight

紧紧拥抱着你

Holding you close

如今我已长大

Now that I've grown up

有的已变 有的依旧

Some things have changed, some remain the same

时钟上那不停的指针

The unceasing hands of the clock

冰冷的刻进我的心怀

Coldly carving into my heart

不过遇见了你

But meeting you

让我知晓了生活的绚烂

Showed me the brilliance of life

虽然还有一些害怕

Though I still feel some fear

可我想我已经可以向前走了

But I think I can move forward now

漫天繁星的夜里

On a night filled with stars

对你的思念在不断堆积

My longing for you keeps growing

默默祷念着你的名字

Silently praying your name

一次又一次

Again and again

紧紧拥抱着你

Holding you close

心潮的澎湃

My heart surges uncontrollably

已经凌驾于躯体之上

Rising beyond my body

是你让我的名字变得特别

It's you who makes my name special

现在只是

Right now, I just want to

想紧紧拥抱着你

Hold you tight

脑海中一直都是你

You're always in my mind

就去温暖那冰冷的手

Going to warm that cold hand

闭上眼 迈向前方

Close my eyes and move forward

漫天繁星的夜里

On a night filled with stars

我只是想和你在一起

All I want is to be with you

默默祷念着你的名字

Silently praying your name

一次又一次

Again and again

紧紧拥抱着你

Holding you close

心潮澎湃

My heart surges

打着赤脚全力追赶

Running barefoot, chasing with all my might

是你让我的名字变得特别

It's you who makes my name special

是你

It's you

在一直照亮着

Who has been shining brightly

漫天繁星的夜里

On a night filled with stars
