saishoni mitsumeta anotoki
kaze no kaori ga shita
natsukashii egao
That first moment,fushigina chikarani yobarete
We shared a glance,
At one another,
A scent of a feeling was in the air,
Of a very familiar smile.
A very strange,hiroi sora no shita
A strong power,
Calls out to you,
The meaning of this chance meeting,
Can't you notice any sooner?
Under the wide and open sky,* kono unmei wa utsukushiku
An endless search continues for,
Those hot and burning eyes that are yours.
* This fate, to be so very beautiful,donna omoidega hikitometemo
The tears I cry are made to shine,
shine as bright as ever before.
There will be,anatani nobashita yubisaki
Memories that will come and hold me down,
But I'll never look,
back at what's in the past,
Was the feeling that I felt.
Moving to you,tsumetai arashini mesameru
Outstretched hand,
with my fingers,
But the deep color of darkness,
Slowly overpainted them,
thundering storm,eran dasubete o
It will awake,
A distant dream that will come to be,
An actual reality....
All of the choices I had made,kono unmei wa uruwashiku
Believing them to be the ones,
To have the power to make the future change.
This fate, to be so very wonderful,** donna kanashimi ga oshiyosetemo
My body is starting to shine so bright,
shine as bright as ever before.
** There will be,( Repeat * )
Many sad feelings come to hold me down,
But I'll never be,
Hurt by sadness again,
As long as you're by my side.
( Repeat * )anata ga ireba anata ga ireba
( Repeat ** )
As long as you're by my side
As long as you're by my side
(sung by Michiru/Sailor Neptune)
