An evening moon appears; children’s voices fade away.
Far, far away—somewhere in this sky—you must be out there.
At the end of summer, we slipped away together to this park;
Do you remember the name of that constellation we found?
Even if we can’t meet, I want to trace my memories and see that same happiness.
Along with that scent, fireworks suddenly bloom open.
I want to go to you; I want to run to you right now.
It’s pitch black and I can’t see a thing, but even if I’m scared, it’s okay.
A countless starry sky is still right here, just as it always was.
I won’t cry—because it was a beautiful sky that I once shared with you.
The sound of my shoes echoing down the road lingers in my ears.
I look at my own large shadow… I hold these thoughts close to my heart
Even though nothing has changed, this bittersweet feeling keeps growing
No matter how deeply I long for you, you are no longer here
I want to go to your side—even if I am small, so small
You are the one I love most; you give me the strength to go on
I quietly whispered my wish to a shooting star
But I won’t cry; surely it will reach you in that beautiful sky
Even if we can’t meet, I trace my memories, wanting to see that same happiness again
Fireworks burst open, accompanied by that familiar scent
I want to go to you, clutching your small hand tight
I want to cry—it was such a beautiful, beautiful sky
I quietly whispered my wish to a shooting star
But I want to cry—sending these feelings that cannot reach you out into this sky…
