Tooku shizuka na hoshizora kara, // From far and silent starry skies
Afureru inochi no uta ga hibiku. // Echoes a song full of life.
Ikusen kounen yami o koete, // Crossing a darkness of thousands of light years,
Hitotsu no daichi ni tadori tsuita. // It finally arrives at a single earth.
Sotto hitomi o tojita mama de // With eyes closed just so,
Tooi inori no you ni // Like a faraway prayer,
Itsushi ka yumetachi ga // So that one day
Kanau you ni // Our dreams will come true.
Konna chiisa na te no hira de wa // Time is so long that
Kakaekirenu hodo toki wa nagai // These tiny palms can barely hold it.
Ikusenman ri no tabi no hate ni // At the end of a million-mile voyage,
Yasashii egao n imeguriaeru // We can still run across smiling faces.
Ima wa namida ni nureta mama de // Now, wet with tears,
Fukai inori no you ni // As though deep in prayer,
Itsushi ka kanashimi mo // So that one day
Owaru you ni // Sadness, too, will end.
Tooku shizuka na hoshizora kara, // From far and silent starry skies,
Afureru inochi no uta ga kikoeru. // A song full of life can be heard.
