カシオペア (Cassiopeia)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
僕ら一心に見上げてた硝子の大気の向こう側 	bokura isshin ni miageteta garasu no taiki no mukougawa	Our gaze fixed upon it, we looked up at the other side of the atmosphere through the window pane
「ずっと消えないで」　つぶやいた 	"zutto kienaide" tsubuyaita 	“Never disappear,” I murmured
遠く輝くカシオペア 	tooku kagayaku kashiopea 	to the distant, shining Cassiopeia
 	 	
いつか見た夢 	itsuka mita yume 	In a dream that I saw one day
君と僕がいて 	kimi to boku ga ite 	you and I were there
手を伸ばすけれど 	te o nobasu keredo 	and I stretched out my hand
君には届かない 	kimi ni wa todokanai 	but it didn’t reach you
 	 	
何百光年の旅路の果ての果て 	nanbyaku kounen no tabiji no hate no hate 	At the very end of your journey, hundreds of light years long
僕らのもとへ辿り着いた 	bokura no moto e tadori tsuita 	you had finally arrived to where we are now
一粒の光 	hitotsubu no hikari 	A speck of light
 	 	
小さく瞬く 	chiisaku matataku 	whose twinkle is so tinyI translated the verb 瞬く(matataku, to twinkle) as a noun instead. The problem with this line is that this verb is being described by the adverb version of small (小さく, chiisaku). Can English say this same idea? Yes, but it would come out like “tinily twinkling” or “small-ly twinkling” or something, and nothing I could find sounded normal at all.
 	 	
僕ら一心に見上げてたヘリオポーズの向こう側 	bokura isshin ni miageteta heriopoozu no mukougawa 	Our gaze fixed upon it, we looked up towards the other side of the heliopause
過去も未来も変わらない 	kako mo mirai mo kawaranai 	Not in the past nor even in the future will it change
咲いた真冬のカシオペア 	saita mafuyu no kashiopea 	the deep midwinter’s CassiopeiaI keep seeing the verb 咲く(saku, to bloom) used in many circumstances where the thing blooming is not actually a flower, such as here where the line states 咲いた真冬(saita mafuyu) “bloomed midwinter”. When a flower is in full-bloom, it is at the prime of it’s life, where it is tallest, most beautiful, and the best flower it could be. In the same way, I took the idea of a bloomed winter to mean that the winter is in full effect---the winter is at its strongest, coldest, and deepest part.
 	 	
いつか見た夢の続きを見させてよ 	itsuka mita yume no tsuzuki o misasete yo 	Let me see the rest of the dream I saw that one day
置いてけぼりは嫌だよ 	oitekebori wa iya da yo 	I don’t want to be left behind
君の隣に居たい 	kimi no tonari ni itai 	I want to be right next to you
 	 	
百億余年の時の中出会った 	hyaku oku yo nen no toki no naka deatta 	During the ten billion years of the remainder of your life, we met
君と僕で綴るんだ 	kimi to boku de tsuzurun da 	We will compose
この一ページを 	kono ichi peeji o 	this one page of it ourselves
星降る消えてく 	hoshi furu kieteku 	The stars fall and fade away
静かに 	shizuka ni 	quietly
 	 	
嗚呼　僕ら闇の中で見つけた光・・・ 	aa bokura yami no naka de mitsuketa hikari... 	Ah, within the darkness, the light we found...
 	 	
僕ら一心に見上げてた硝子の大気の向こう側 	bokura isshin ni miageteta garasu no taiki no mukougawa	Our gaze fixed upon it, we looked up at the other side of the atmosphere through the window pane
「ずっと消えないで」　つぶやいた 	"zutto kienaide" tsubuyaita 	“Never disappear,” I murmured
遠く輝くカシオペア 	tooku kagayaku kashiopea 	to the distant, shining Cassiopeia
 	 	
君とふたり寄り添って 	kimi to futari yorisotte 	We snuggle up close
なぞった藍の天球を 	nazotta ai no tenkyuu o 	and traced the indigo celestial sphere togetherA celestial sphere is like a modern day star map where the constellations are plotted onto a sphere where the positions of the stars are relative to the Earth. The word can refer to either a physical object, or to an imaginary sphere you can dream up yourself if you look up at the stars at night. In the song, it’s most likely talking about an imaginary one.
いつか離れても忘れない 	itsuka hanarete mo wasurenai 	Even someday when we’re separated, I won’t forget
咲いた真冬のカシオペア 	saita mafuyu no kashiopea 	the deep midwinter’s Cassiopeia
