SHA LA LA itsuka kitto

=== English ===
SHA LA LA Some day in the future
I will, for sure, hold it in my hand
Let it softly set ablaze
A light in your empty heart.
The "impulses" of wanting to meet you,
the "innocence" of wanting to cry,
the fireflies have gone into the blaze of the summer
to never come back again.
You remained silent and left me a kiss,
pained and hurt, I nodded my head.
your life flickered like a light, it was so sad.
SHA LA LA Some day in the future,
I will, for sure, hold it in my hand.
let it softly set ablaze
A light in your empty heart.
SHA LA LA My sweet, lovely dear,
I can see you too now.
The dazzling moon will softly,
Illuminate the morning day.
Strongly, strongly shine on.

=== Kanji (Full Version) ===
SHA LA LA いつかきっと 僕は手にするんだ
はかなき 胸に そっと ひかり 燃えてゆけ
逢いたくなるの「衝動」哭きたくなるの「純情」
夏の火に飛び込んだ ホタルはかえらない
あなたは何も言わず接吻(くちづけ)を残して
火傷(きず)つくまま うなづいたね
哀しいほど命 揺らめいていた
SHA LA LA いつかきっと 僕は手にするんだ
はかなき 胸に そっと ひかり 燃えていけ
SHA LA LA 愛しきひと あなたもみえているの
まばゆい 月が そっと 明日を照らして
強く 強く 輝いて
風に吹かれるほど 烈しくなる心に
はぐれそうな想い出が また優しく灯る
夢中で駆けだしたら 触れられる気がした
意志(おもむく)まま 手を伸ばすよ
切ないほど命 揺らめいてゆく
SHA LA LA 僕はずっと 唄いつづけていくよ
ふるえる 胸に そっと ひかり 燃えてゆけ
SHA LA LA 愛しきひと あなたに届くように
はてない 空に そっと 想い つのらせて
強く 強く 響かせて
SHA LA LA いつかきっと ホタルは燃え尽き散って
きえゆく 胸に そっと 夢よ 輝いて
SHA LA LA 愛しきひと あなたも忘れないで
きらめく 夏に そっと 願いを重ねて
SHA LA LA いつかきっと 僕は手にするんだ
はかなき 胸に そっと ひかり 燃えていけ
SHA LA LA 愛しきひと あなたもみえているの
まばゆい 月が そっと 明日を照らして
強く 強く 輝いて

Sha la la I know that someday.
I'll find what I'm running after.
Let the light shine in your empty heart.
and set your soul ablaze.
The desire to see you again
is so pure it makes me weep.
The fireflies have flown off into the summer sky
never to return.
You left me with a silent kiss goodbye
and hurt and upset, I still nodded my head
left alone, trembling and sad.
Sha la la I know that someday.
I'll find what I'm running after.
Let the light shine in your empty heart
and set your soul ablaze.
Sha la la Oh my beloved.
I can still see your safe.
as the moon's dazzling light
illuminates the next day
shine strong, shine strong!
