Lyrics
English version
Your fingertips moving gently to my heart
The force of life goes on and on
The song remains like a haunting melody
Of angel music caught in chains
And I ask you:
Can we ease the pain of those who lost? (The force of life goes on)
Can we know the cause of all this sorrow? (Tears and loneliness)
Can we catch the tears of a broken world?
Falling down upon the earth, falling down
The waves of time take me deeper into you
A haze as blue as summer skies
And turn to find the key will not unlock the door
This broken bird, away it flies
And I ask you:
Can we ease the pain of those who lost? (The force of life goes on)
Can we know the cause of all this sorrow? (Tears and loneliness)
Can we catch the tears of a broken world?
Falling down upon the earth, falling down
Japanese (Romaji)
Hoshi ga furu, sora ni idakarete
Natsukashii koe o kiku
Futari wa naze umareta no
Naze yobiau no
Mou hitori de wa tobenai
Katahou no hane dake de wa
Unmei o sakanobori
Anata ni deau tabi ni deru
Kinjirareta ki no mi wa konashite
Yuremadou kokoro yo
Mirai ni yubi o nobaseba
Naze kako ni todoku no
Mou nido to me o sorasanai
Kono mune no kurayami ni mo
Hoshizora ni michibikare
Anata ni deau tabi ni deru
Japanese (English translation)
Star fall, held by the sky
I hear a nostalgic voice
Why were we two born?
And why do we call out to each other?
One can't fly alone
Not with only one wing
I go up the stream of fate
Leaving on a voyage to meet up with you
Digest the forbidden fruit and
Hesitate, O heart
If I stretch my finger toward the future
Why doesn't it reach into the past
I won't look away ever again
Even in the darkness of my chest
I am led by the starry skies
And leave on a voyage to meet up with you
