Houkago uchuu no katasumi deIn a corner of the universe after school,
Ichiban kagayaku hoshi wo mitsuketaI found the star that shines the brightest.
Gekou jikan no chaimu gaBefore the bell signaling the end of the day
Nariyamu mae ni kakeoritacould stop ringing, I ran downstairs,
Ichibyou demo hayaku aitakutewanting to see you even one second sooner.
Hontou no kimochi kakushite saI’m hiding my true feelings, you know,
Fuzakete fureta kata ga atsui yoand the shoulder I jokingly touched feels so hot.
Otonabita hitomi ni nee nani ga utsutteru noHey, what’s reflected in your grown-up eyes?
Kikenai mama sora wo miagetetaUnable to ask, I just looked up at the sky.

Kono ginga wo terasu no waThe thing that lights up this galaxy
Kako mo genzai mo mirai mo kimi no hikari dais your light—in the past, the present, and the future.
Suki ni natte yo suki de ite ii noFall in love with me; is it okay for me to keep loving you?
Tooku haruka soredemo te wo nobasu yoYou’re so far away, but I’ll still reach out my hand.
Yozora ni pedaru fumikondePedaling my bike into the night sky,
Kimi to seiza wo watatte ikuI’m crossing through the constellations with you.

Atarashii bokura mo egakeru kanaI wonder if we could sketch a new version of ‘us’.

Subete ga hora kasumu kurai kirameiterulook, everything is sparkling so bright it’s blurring.
