ナガレボシニイノル (Nagareboshi ni Inoru)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
あの丘を越えれば 	ano oka o koereba 	Once we cross that hill
手が届きそうな 	te ga todokisou na 	It will feel as though our hands could touch
満天の星空 	manten no hoshizora 	The star-filled sky
今夜君にだけ見せたくて 	kon'ya kimi ni dake misetakute 	That I wanted you to see tonight
 	 	
ペダルのきしむ音 	pedaru no kishimu oto 	As the pedal squeaks in my earsThis line technically only says 'squeak of the pedal'. Without a complete idea here to go along with the next line it sounds very incomplete to say in English, so I added the 'in my ear' bit to avoid this awkwardness. The meaning is no different anyway.
君の息を背中において 	kimi no iki o senaka ni oite 	I feel your breath upon my back
この先に待つ景色は 	kono saki ni matsu keshiki wa 	I'm depending on the perfect scenery to find usThese two lines were a bit hard to translate, as the sentence structure and word choices were not what I expected. First of all, 待つ(matsu) normally means 'to wait' which would make the meaning more like 'waiting at this destination'. However, if the singer was waiting for the scenery, the next line would use いつ(itsu, when/how long) instead of どこ(doko, where/how far). Because the singer talks about a position, 待つ(matsu) must instead mean 'to depend on'. Secondly, 僕(boku, I) is the direct object of 救う(sukuu, to save/rescue), meaning that the scenery is what is doing the rescuing, and so is the topic. As these lines give the connotation that the two are still traveling on the bicycle, I had to specifically state the traveling aspect of this situation, but had to apply the traveling to the scenery instead even though that's not stated in the original lyrics.
どこまで僕を救うだろう 	doko made boku o sukuu darou 	How far must I go until it saves me?
 	 	
木枯らし奏でる音 	kogarashi kanaderu oto 	The cold winter wind whistles byThis line has an interesting metaphor in it! It is literally 'cold winter wind plays a sound', but the word YKSB used for play (奏でる, kanaderu) is a verb that is more used with playing musical instruments for noise. There is no word in English that has a sort of double meaning like this that would make sense when talking about the wind, so I went with 'whistling' instead.
無口な僕らをはやしたて 	mukuchi na bokura o hayashitate 	And mocks our quiet moment togetherLiterally “Mocks the quiet us”.
香る風と闇が 	kaoru kaze to yami ga 	As the fragrant air and darkness
二人優しく包み込む 	futari yasashiku tsutsumikomu 	Gently wrap around us
 	 	
君の大きなヒトミに映る僕は 	kimi no ookina hitomi ni utsuru boku wa 	This is the first time that you've looked at meThis stanza was very hard to translate, as I simply didn't really understand what it meant. It literally translates to “Your big eyes reflection of me // first of the first isn't it?” My translation is most likely very wrong.
最初の１番目だろうか 	saisho no ichibanme darou ka 	With such wide eyes isn't it?
教えて欲しい 	oshiete hoshii 	Please tell me
 	 	
この夜空に広げた満天の星たちに 	kono yozora ni hirogeta manten no hoshitachi ni	To the stars that spread across the entire sky It technically says 'night sky' (夜空, yozora) here instead of just 'sky', but we never really specify what kind of sky it is in English, so I left out that identifier.
弱虫な僕の願いが届きますように 	yowamushi na boku no negai ga todokimasu you ni	I hope my cowardly made wish will get through to them
あの夜空にちりばめた気まぐれな 	ano yozora ni chiribameta kimagure na 	If just one of these fickle stars
星たちのひとつ流れ落ちたなら 	hoshitachi no hitotsu nagare ochita nara 	Studded in the sky would fall
この勇気のカケラを 	kono yuuki no kakera o 	I would gain the little bit of courage I need to...
 	 	
ぼやけた僕の言葉の裏は 	boyaketa boku no kotoba no ura wa 	The complaints behind my words
いとも簡単に見抜かれたようで 	ito mo kantan ni minukareta you de 	Are very easy to see, huh
さしだされた半分のクッキーが 	sashidasareta hanbun no kukkii ga 	The half of the cookie that I offered you
震えてたのはどうしてだろう 	furueteta no wa doushite darou 	Was trembling, but why?
 	 	
Ah　ここから見えるもの全てと 	Ah koko kara mieru mono subete to 	Ah, Everything that can be seen from here and
キセキをつかむのは僕なんだ 	kiseki o tsukamu no wa boku nanda 	This miracle I'm holding on to,
答えを聞かせて 	kotae o kikasete 	Please give me the answer I need!
 	 	
この夜空に広げた満天の星たちに 	kono yozora ni hirogeta manten no hoshitachi ni	To the stars that spread across the entire sky
弱虫な僕の願いが届きますように 	yowamushi na boku no negai ga todokimasu you ni	I hope my cowardly made wish will get through to them
あの夜空にちりばめた気まぐれな 	ano yozora ni chiribameta kimagure na 	If just one of these fickle stars
星たちのひとつ流れ落ちたなら 	hoshitachi no hitotsu nagare ochita nara 	Studded in the sky would fall
この勇気のカケラを 	kono yuuki no kakera o 	I would gain the little bit of courage I need to...
 	 	
降り注ぐ可能性と 	furisosogu kanousei to 	It's so likely to shower, asThis line says 降り注ぐ可能性 (furisosogu kanousei) which means 'likelihood to rain'. Now, if the sky is full of stars, then there can't possibly be any clouds from which it will rain, so the 'rain' talked about here is the stars themselves raining down. In English, the phrase is 'star shower'. Since a shower can mean regular water as well, I left out the word 'star', as YKSB most likely meant the double meaning of stars/rain falling down.
オリオンが紡ぐ恋の歌 	orion ga tsumugu koi no uta 	Orion sings these love songs'To Sing' is not the verb used here, but I had to do so for it to make sense in English. I could not find a way to incorporate the meaning of 紡ぐ (tsumugu, to spin/spin yarn) in a way that sounded natural in English.
止まらないこの気持ちが 	tomaranai kono kimochi ga 	These persisting feelings of mine
銀河の果てまで 	Ginga no hate made 	Continue on to the end of the galaxy
 	 	
流れ星に祈った 	nagareboshi ni inotta 	I wish for a shooting star
 	 	
この夜空に広げた満天の星たちに 	kono yozora ni hirogeta manten no hoshitachi ni	To the stars that spread across the entire sky
弱虫な僕の願いが届きますように 	yowamushi na boku no negai ga todokimasu you ni	I hope my cowardly made wish will get through to them
あの夜空にちりばめた気まぐれな 	ano yozora ni chiribameta kimagure na 	If just one of these fickle stars
星たちのひとつ流れ落ちたなら 	hoshitachi no hitotsu nagare ochita nara 	Studded in the sky would fall
この勇気のカケラを 	kono yuuki no kakera o 	I would gain the little courage I need to
あの夜空に誓いを 	ano yozora ni chikai o 	Make a vow upon this night skyUnlike in Note (6), I kept in the identifier for 'night sky' here just for sake of emphasis and flow.
流れ星に祈りを 	nagare hoshi ni inori o 	Make a wish upon a shooting star
