歌詞:

[日本語]

[English]

ラストチャンスに飢えたつま先が

The toes hungry for their last chance start to dance

踊り出すまま駆けたこの夜空

Running through this night sky as they take off

並のスタンスじゃ靡かない

A casual stance won't make them sway

星は宝石の憧れ

Stars are like jewels, longing to shine

浮かぶ涙と汗は血の名残り

Falling tears and sweat are marks of blood

目の中でしか泳げなきゃ芝居

If I can only swim within my eyes, it’s all a play

だけどステージが逃がさない

But the stage won’t let me slip away

いついつまでも憧れ　焦がれているよ

Longing and burning forever, I desire you

I’ve never seen such a liar

I’ve never seen a liar like this

生まれつきたっての底なし

Born with an endless depth inside

This lie is love. And this lie is a gift to the world

This lie is love. And this lie is a gift to the world

誰と生きたか思い出して

Remember who I’ve lived with

わたしが命を賭けるから　あげるから

I’ll stake my life on it, I’ll give it all

あなたは時間をくれたのでしょう？

You’ve given me time, haven’t you?

あらゆる望みの総てを叶えたら　ああ果たせたら

If all wishes could come true—oh, if only I could make it happen

あなたに会いたい

I want to see you

星に願いをかけて

Make a wish upon a star

戻れないから大切にするの？

Because I can’t turn back, I treasure this moment

始めないなら高を括れるよ

If I don’t start, I can’t be confident

らくになる日はまず来ない

The days that will finally come won’t be easy

日々のなかに集まる悲しい光

Sad lights gathering in everyday life

生まれつきだってば底なし

Born with it—an endless depth

This lie is love. And this lie is a gift to the world

This lie is love. And this lie is a gift to the world

誰を生きたか忘れちゃった！

I’ve forgotten whom I’ve lived for!

あなたに命が戻るなら　届くなら

If only your life could return, if only it could reach me

わたしはどうなろうと構わないのに

I don’t care what happens to me anymore

どうやら総ては叶わない

Apparently, none of it will come true

叶わないならばあなたになりたい

If it can’t come true, I want to become you

星は砕け光る

Stars shattered and shining bright

わたしが命を賭けるから　あげるから

I’ll stake my life on it, I’ll give it all

あなたは時間をくれたのでしょう？

You’ve given me time, haven’t you?

あらゆる望みの総てを叶えたら　ああ果たせたら

If all wishes could come true—oh, if only I could make it happen

あなたに会いたい

I want to see you

星に願いをかけて

Make a wish upon a star

さあ星の子たちよ　よくお眠りなさい

Come on, children of the stars, sleep peacefully now

輝きは鈍らない　あなたたちならば

Your glow won’t dull, if it’s you guys

さあ星の子たちよ　よく狙いなさい

Come on, children of the stars, aim carefully

またたきを許さない　あなたたちならば

Don’t allow blinking—if it’s you guys
