hoshizora no rekuiemu
Requiem of the Starry Sky

words by Hironobu Kageyama

translation by Alinda Sue...
ki ga tsukeba    itsunomanika   hateshinai kouya
Far away   Far away   nemuritai

katamuita   tsuki no shita de   sora wo miageteita
Where I go   Where I go
shinjitsu wa…   tomo wa…

sakihokore   inochi no hana yo   wakasa yo
ima koko ni taoretemo   omae ni wa asu ga aru

furisosogu hikari yo    eien no hoshitachi yo
douka zutto   itsumademo   mimamotteite

yubi no sukima    nukerusuna sa    shiawase na hibi nado
Far away   Far away   maboroshi yo

bokura wa mata   arukidasu yo   hateshinai michi he
dakara   semete   hitotoki no   yume wo

saa nemure   ichizu na kokoro   wakasa yo
itsuka chikara tsukite tachitomaru   sono hi made

taemanai hikari yo   eien no hoshitachi yo
douka zutto   kono michi wo   terashi tsudzuketeite

nemure   ichizu na kokoro   wakasa yo
itsuka chikara tsukite tachitomaru   sono hi made

taemanai hikari yo   eien no hoshitachi yo
douka zutto   kono michi wo   terashi tsudzuketeite

kizutsuita senshi ni   hoshi no hikari wo
itawari ni michita   yasuragi no uta to ai wo

ki ga tsukeba   itsunomanika   hateshinai kouya…

Far away   Far away   nemuritai
If you could see, you’d notice me out in the unending wilderness…
Far away, far way, where I am longing for sleep

From your view down below the moon, you looked up into the Universe
Where I go, where I go
Truth is…   Friendship is…

The flower of life, in all your youth and glory
Even if I should fall, you will have a future

Pouring out with all its light, an eternity of stars
No matter what, forever, I will always watch over you

Happy days and such, like falling sand,
                      slip through finger sized cracks
Far away, far away… just an illusion

Yet, we again set off walking down that endless road
For the sake of at least one person’s dream

Ah, until the day I can sleep, with all my heart and youth
I will stand until my power is exhausted

In the unending light of an eternity of stars
No matter what, forever, I will continue to shine

Until the day I can sleep, with all my heart and youth
I will stand until my power is exhausted

In the unending light of an eternity of stars
No matter what, forever, I will continue to shine

For the injured soldier, he is filled with the light of the stars
Bringing their song of love and peacefulness

If you could see, you’d notice me out in the unending wilderness…

Far away, far way, where I am longing for sleep
