桟橋で君を抱きしめ
見果てぬ夢を夢中で話していたね
彗星が海越えてくよ
夜間飛行の翼をにじませ

ギター弾く指先切れて
泣き出したこと remember you
誰もが STARDUSTだったね

This is the Song for U.S.A.
時間の波に消えた old my friends
今日はここへ来て
同じ歌を歌ってくれ

This is the Song for U.S.A.
最後のアメリカの夢を
俺たちが同じ時代を駆けた証しに・・・
Sing for all

摩天楼に煙って
壊れた夢に泣いてる君がいるよ
すみれ色の優しい夜が
君の上にも降りるといいのにね

鍵盤叩くその涙を
抱きしめてあげたいよ
綺麗なSTARDUSTたちよ

This is the Song for U.S.A.
海を渡る星の群れが
夢の道照らし迎えに来る
素敵なtonight

This is the Song for U.S.A.
見えないもの信じられた
ティーンネイジのまま約束だよ
大人になってくれ

Sanbashi de kimi wo dakishime
Mihatenu yume wo muchuu de hanashitetane
Suisei ga umi koetekuyo
Yakanhikou no tsubasa wo nijimase

Guitar hajiku yubisaki kirete
Nakidashitakoto remember you
Daremo ga STARDUST dattane

This is the Song for U.S.A.
Toki no name ni kieta old my friends
Kyou ha koko he kite
Onaji uta wo uttattekure

This is the song for U.S.A.
Saigo no america no yume wo
Oretachi ga onaji toki wo kaketa akashini…
Sing for all

Matenrou kiri ni kemutte
Kowareta yume ni naiteru kimi ga iruyo
Sumireiro no yasashii yoru ga
Kimi no uenimo oriruto iinonine

Piano tataku sono namida wo
Dakishimete agetaiyo
Kireina STARDUST tachiyo

This is the song for U.S.A.
Umi wo wataru hoshi no murega
Yume no michi terashi mukaenikuru
Sutekina tonight

This is the song for U.S.A.
Mienai mono shinjirareta
Teenage no mama yakusoku dayo
Otona ni natte kure

Translation

 

Cuddling you on the pier
We were talking about our unfulfilled dreams with enthusiasm
A comet passed over the sea
With the wings shining bright for night flight

Plucking at the guitar strings I had cuts on my fingertips
I remember you started to cry to see them
We were a sort of stardust at that time

This is the song for U.S.A.
Oh my old friends who had vanished
In the waves of time
Now come here and sing this song together

This is the song for U.S.A.
Our last dreams for America
To prove we had lived in the same days…
Sing for All

Skyscrapers blurred with fog
I found you crying over your broken dream
I hope the pansy tender night
Falls on you too

I wanna embrace your tears
Striking the keys of the piano
Your tears are like brilliant stardust

This is the song for U.S.A.
A cluster of stars crosses over the sea and approaches
To light up the ways for our dreams
Fabulous tonight

This is the song for U.S.A.
Promise to grow up with the heart of a teenager
In those days we could believe
What we couldn't see
