I hear a voice somewhere

Far in the distance, might it be you out there

Past the horizon, under the rising moon

Across the evening sky, calling out my name

Hey, now if you're ever

caught in the middle of a maze

wandering endlessly

It's enough to trust the stars above

to guide you all the way through

Don't forget, despite the threat

You gotta know you're not alone

The pain might not easily go right away

But i do know, I believe in your strength

I wish I was near you just to help

To walk beside you in your darkest of times

Somber soul,

don't you ever give up on your dreams

Oh, life can sometimes just be so cruel

But I'm wishing from afar

That soon you will have better days

So, I ask the wind to dry your falling tears away

Calm you down, keep you warm here with me

I ask the stars above the skies to be

our shining soldiers, while we try to find our way

Hoping that the scars in your heart fade entirely

As I hold you in my arms so dear

I'm asking for the moon,

"Give me one more night"

As she shines her guiding light

Give me time, oh

Hope we'll never be apart no more

I hear a voice somewhere

Far int he distance, might it be you out there

Past the horizon, under the rising moon

Across the evening sky, calling out my name

Hey, now that we can finally

hold each other's hands and connect again

As we depart in a destination

no one has ever explored

Though I know the world's not fair

We may be afraid, but we'll hold on

I will keep on walking with you even if

we're walking on a path of utter loneliness

Cold-hearted, is this about to break?

A fragile moment of delight, like candy

Leave a smile for me as a precious memory

In time, I'll remember this clearly

While we're holding hands

Oh no, I don't want to let go just yet

So, I wish upon the birds to sing a melody

Fill our hearts with a song full of glee

As we imprint our footsteps in this risky pathway

Let me hold your hand while I still can

Made a deal with sorrow to please be kind to be

Letting go even if I love you so

I'm asking for the moon to please smile for you

As she guards you through the night

Give me time, oh

I hope that you'll be safe on your own

So, I ask the wind to dry your falling tears away

Calm you down, keep you warm through the night

I ask the stars above the skies to be

your shining soldiers,

leading you towards the light

Made a bargain with the wildnerness

to set you free

Away from all the uncerntainty

I'm asking for the moon to please smile for you

As she guards you through the night

Give me time, oh

I hope that you'll be safe on your own

I hear a voice somehwere

Far int he distance, might it be you out there

Past the horizon, under the rising moon

Across the evening sky, calling out my name

「遠く離れて 聞こえるの

あなたの声 どこからか

昇る月と 夜の空 遠くの空」

ねえ 漂ってて彷徨ってるなら

どうせ変わらないし

均一な軽い真実なんて

分かんなくなる

でもね よく聞いて

大切な 薬なら

胸の中 重なった

忘れたい 痛い記憶の中だって

確かめてみたくて

正しさだとか そういう存在

探そうとすればするほどに

ほら 暗くなっていく

だから僕は せめて灯を掲げたい

星々に誓った

君がもう涙 流さないよう

いつでも僕はここにいるよ

そっと風が止むまで

消えない傷跡も 全部胸に抱いて

愛してみたい

I’m asking for the moon

少しだけ

もし 叶うなら

君と もう離れずにいたいよ

「遠く離れて 聴こえるの

あなたの声 どこからか

昇る月と 夜の空 遠くの空」

ねえ 掴まってて繋がってるから

伝わる行き先

現実がたとえ陰湿だって

怯んでなくて

だけど ひとつだけ

君にだけ教えるんだ

連なったままずっと 歩けたって

今も孤独が怖いって

壊してしまいそう

砂糖菓子のような脆いさだめ

だから少しの微笑みを

今 この瞬間に

優しく残して行こう この先へ

鳥たちに願った

君が迷ったなら 導くように

隣で歩ける 今のうち

ちょっとだけ手を繋ごう

見えない足跡も 全部覚えてるよ

愛してるから

I’m asking for the moon

何度でも

もし 叶うなら

君と まだ離れずにいたくて

星々に誓った

君がもう涙 流さないよう

いつでも僕はここにいるよ

そっと風が止むまで

消えない傷跡も 全部胸に抱いて

愛してみたい

I’m asking for the moon

少しだけ

もし 叶うなら

君と もう離れずにいたいよ

「遠く離れて 聴こえるの

あなたの声 どこからか

昇る月と 夜の空 遠くの空」

"We're far apart, but I can hear your voice

Somewhere, calling out to me

As the moon rises in the distant night sky"

Hey, if you're wandering about with no goal in sight

Nothing's gonna change at all

And you'll no longer see how trivial reality is

But hey, listen, if you're looking for the best remedy

You'll find it in your heart

In all those painful memories you wanna forget

I wanna see it for myself

This thing you call the "truth"

But, the more I try searching for it

Look—everything starts turning dark

So, at least let me be the one who lights your way

I promised the stars above

I'd never let you shed another tear

I'll always be here for you

Until the storm comes to an end

I wanna hug every scar you still bear

And try loving them all

I'm asking for the moon, just a little bit

If my wish comes true

I don't wanna be apart from you anymore

"We're far apart, but I can hear your voice

Somewhere, calling out to me

As the moon rises int he distant night sky"

Hey, as I hold your hand safely in mine

We walk towards your journey's end

No matter how cruel reality is, never lose heart

But, I got just one lesson to teach you

Even if we walk this path together

Loneliness will never stop being scary

Destiny is like sugary snacks

Brittle and on the verge of breaking

So, let's smile a big smile

In this very moment

Then press on to what lies ahead

I asked the birds in the sky

To guide you if you ever got lost

Now's our only chance to walk side by side

So, hold my and for just a little longer

I remember every footprint you've ever left behind

Because I love them all

I'm asking for the moon, again and again

If my wish comes true

I still don't wanna be apart from you

I promised the stars above

I'd never let you shed another tear

I'll always be here for you

Until the storm comes to an end

I wanna hug every scar you still bear

And try loving them all

I'm asking for the moon, just a little bit

If my wish comes true

I don't wanna be apart from you anymore

"We're far apart, but I can hear your voice

Somewhere, calling out to me

As the moon rises in the distant night sky"
