Kimitte, hoshi Lyrics English Translation by Iberis&
The lyricists craft a story of two people watching stars, their closeness contrasted with the vastness of the galaxy. A key line translates to, ‘Even though I’m supposed to be close, I feel even further away.’ This bittersweet moment captures the ache of unspoken feelings.
Futari wa konna konnaThey’re just like this, just like this,
Hiroi ginga no nakawithin the vast galaxy,
Mayowazu ni matataki autwinkling together without ever losing their way.
Anata tachi yori tooiThey’re even further away than you two are.
Nee hoshi wo mi ni ikouHey, let’s go look at the stars.
Itsudatte kimi wa totsuzen da yo neYou’re always so spontaneous, aren’t you?
