Stars of Light

Kokoro no mannaka o parade ga yokogiru

Kakato o uchinarashite kimi ga guru

Oboetate no melody karappo no hiroba ni

Barairo no hikari o tomoshite sugiru

A parade crosses the dead center of my heart

You come, clicking your heels

A melody, just earned, to an empty plaza

Lighting a rose-colored lamp and moving on

Migiyaka na yume wa sugu ryoute o surinukete

Chiisa na kaze ni maiagaru kamifubuki

Lively dreams soon slip through your two hands

And confetti dances up in a tiny wind

Miokuru namida yori deatta tokimeki o

Kokoro no naka ni taisetsu ni oitemiru

Rather than tears of farewell, try carefully placing

The excitement of meeting inside your heart

Kimi ga nokoshitetta kutsuato syncopation

Asamoya no mukou made tsuzuiteru

Dokoka shiranai machi dareka no yume no naka

Atatakai hikari o tomoshi ni itta

The sycopation you left behind in your shoeprints

Continues on through the morning mist

In a town somewhere, in someone's dreams

It's gone to light a warm lamp

Miokuru kanashimi yori deatta yorokobi o

Hikari ni mukete hitotsu zutsu tsumiagaru

Rather than the sadness of farewells, the joy of meeting

Piles up bit by bit, facing the light

Kaidan wa sora e to rasen ni nobiteyuku

Akai amagumo tsukinukete niji ni naru

A staircase rises in spirals to the sky

And, piercing the red rainclouds, becomes a rainbow

Kimi ga doko ni ite mo tooi kuni ni ite mo

Mimi o sumaseba kikoeru yo sono uta ga

No matter where you are, though you may be in a distant land

If you listen hard, you can heart it--that song
