SHOOTING STAR



Shooting star by Kotoko, sung by Kotoko
English Translation

Together, looking up at that distantly shining star
and thinking it was destined that we met,
pretending to be casual, I try to touch your palm, but
you only smile gently.


Since these feelings are getting stronger and the number of worries are increasing,
never let go of the heart you once embraced, no matter what happens.


In this vast universe,
if I can keep staying near just you alone,
even though the clock-hand of broken time
soon starts to move slowly toward the future,
stay just as you are, just like this.



I whisper this wish softly to the flowing stars:
"I pray that I can always be with you..."
Close up just this one part of time in a glass box,
even though it would be better if it could always be seen.



Since I don't want to make your gentle smile be clouded by worries,
when I want to start crying, I think of this night sky.


In this vast universe, we found the place
where just the two of us can be happy, didn't we?
Here there are moon and stars and
thr night wind that wraps the two of us up together and
my feelings about you alone.


You, who struggled here from that far country,
are that shining star. Shooting Star
Incessantly -- yes, like twinkling.
I swear to this night sky
that I will embrace both you and the future.
