Nee nemurenai yoru ga kite Mata anata wo omotteruAa aojiroi mado wo ake Sora ni mada kienokoru hoshi wo miageru Hey, as I sleep in the night, I can hear you, and once more, I remember you…Ah, opening the pale window I lift my eyes to the sky, to the planet turning. Anata ni oyasumi wo Akai RIBON wo hodoite For you, I’ll be good and I’ll wear a red ribbon. Tooku kara shikatte ne Dare ni mo misenai kiyowa na watashi wo From the distance, alone I watch for someone to call my own. Itsumade mo suki da kara Anata no sei naraba Setsunakute setsunakute ii How long till I exchange emptyness for love? In case your spirit is alone, I’ll stand alone… Nee mada hosoi kono ude de Anata dakishimeru hi ga kuru no deshou ka Hey, through the window, I want to be with you and hold you in my slender arms… Mo ichido aeta nara Kitto nakidashite shimau And at once, if you’re ever threatened and cry surely, I’ll run to you and end it. Seifuku no mune ni aru Haruka na me wo shita anata no yokogao The suit of your spirit is in my heart and in the distance I can see your profile. Sono mama de suki da kedo Motto anata rashiku Kawatte mo kawatte mo ii My love will never change but becomes more like you and is in your name, I’ll stand in your name… Tooku kara dakishimete Dare ni mo misenai kiyowa na watashi wo From the distance, I hold and watch for someone to call my own. Itsumademo suki da kara Anata no sei naraba Setsunakute setsunakute ii How long till I exchange emptyness for love? In case your spirit is alone, I’ll stand alone…

Nee nemurenai yoru ga kite
Mata anata wo omotteruAa aojiroi mado wo ake
Sora ni mada kienokoru hoshi wo miageru

Hey, as I sleep in the night, I can hear you,
and once more, I remember you…Ah, opening the pale window
I lift my eyes to the sky, to the planet turning.

Anata ni oyasumi wo
Akai RIBON wo hodoite

For you, I’ll be good
and I’ll wear a red ribbon.

Tooku kara shikatte ne
Dare ni mo misenai kiyowa na watashi wo

From the distance, alone
I watch for someone to call my own.

Itsumade mo suki da kara
Anata no sei naraba
Setsunakute setsunakute ii

How long till I exchange emptyness for love?
In case your spirit
is alone, I’ll stand alone…

Nee mada hosoi kono ude de
Anata dakishimeru hi ga kuru no deshou ka

Hey, through the window, I want to be
with you and hold you in my slender arms…

Mo ichido aeta nara
Kitto nakidashite shimau

And at once, if you’re ever threatened and cry
surely, I’ll run to you and end it.

Seifuku no mune ni aru
Haruka na me wo shita anata no yokogao

The suit of your spirit is in my heart
and in the distance I can see your profile.

Sono mama de suki da kedo
Motto anata rashiku
Kawatte mo kawatte mo ii

My love will never change but
becomes more like you and
is in your name, I’ll stand in your name…

Tooku kara dakishimete
Dare ni mo misenai kiyowa na watashi wo

From the distance, I hold
and watch for someone to call my own.

Itsumademo suki da kara
Anata no sei naraba
Setsunakute setsunakute ii

How long till I exchange emptyness for love?
In case your spirit
is alone, I’ll stand alone…
