;English
:Star light (say goodnight)
:Star bright, where have you fallen?
:Star light (say goodnight)
:Star bright, I hear you calling
:Fire, a fire that filled the night
:Fire that warmed and brightened my life
:My guiding light
:On high
:My hearth, my beacon, and my hope
:A sky of scattered tears
:A thousand years apart
:Should they fade, I will not be afraid of the dark
:For your flame still burns inside me, deep within my heart
:Showing me a new tomorrow
:Never too far
:And when I cannot bear the pain
:I'll look up to the sky and pray
:That though our night is over, you shall always remain
:Forever my treasure, my star
;Japanese translation
:星の光が静かに瞬く
:輝きで　あなたを照らすように
:星の光が静かに瞬く
:輝きで　あなたの声を逃さぬように
:夜を照した希望の炎
:その炎は私を満たし　私を導いてくれた
:遠い遠い　空の向こうから
:私が私を　見失わないように
:星々が　涙の中に消えていく
:その光が消えたとしても　私はもう怖くない
:あなたの炎は　私の心の奥深くに灯っているから
:きっと　新たな明日を見せてくれるから
:もしも　私が耐えられなくなった時は
:空に向かって語りかける
:ふたりの夜が終わっても
:あなたは私の星　ずっと私の宝物
