Watashinohoshi Lyrics Translation – Fukumoto Nao
Fukumoto Nao describes a restless heart that is ready to move forward. She watches meanings fall through the gaps in conversation, wishing she could ignore them but admitting this is who she is. The songwriter declares ‘I’m flying away to a star of my own’ (Watashi no hoshi e tonde yuku), accepting that being alone is part of the journey toward tomorrow.
Yureru kokoro no namima karaFrom the waves of my restless heart,
Koe o sukutte namae tsukeruI scoop up a voice and give it a name.
Tabi ni gomakashi ga kikanakuDeception doesn’t work on this journey anymore,
Natte sayonara o kurikaesuso I keep saying my goodbyes.
Itte mitai i natteThinking that I want to go there,
Kokoro sawagu karabecause my heart’s stirring with excitement.
Ii deshou mou ii deshouIt’s alright, isn’t it? It’s fine now, right?
