English
When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light Like the people on this planet

Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star

I’m in my usual park I can see the night scenery On the slide That’s been my special seat for years

Whenever I’m worried about something, I come here Just like then, I’m on my way to my dreams But unable to fulfil them “Maybe this is the end of the line”

There are days when I say weak things like that But every time, I remember That starry sky where I looked for a shooting star The wish I made when I was little

Hasn’t changed even now When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light

Like the people on this planet Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
