Album version:

Kanji

思いは　心深くに　重みを感じること
恋は　ここにないものを　乞い求めてること

もし　そばに　あなたがいてくれたなら
もう　この窓も　カーテン閉じてるでしょう

夜空や　街の夜景を見ることよりも
たぶん　もっと大事なことが　二人にはあるから
私は　あなたに密かな恋をしてる　会いたくて
今夜もまた星に　願ってます

愛は　ふれあい　じゃれあい　時には傷つけあい
許しあい　睦みあって　育みあうのでしょう

もし　そばに　あなたがいるとしたなら
もう　灯りさえ　暗くしてるでしょうか

心の　奥へと　深く深く　潜って
沈みゆくような輝きは　海の底の真珠
私は　こんなにもあなたを思ってる　伝えたい
切なく　沁み込んだ　月明かり

恋が叶うのは誰　思いとげられるのは
今夜はまた　幾粒の
真珠たちが　夜空見上げ　光る

心の　奥へと　深く深く　潜って
沈みゆくような輝きは　海の底の真珠
私は　こんなにもあなたを思ってる　伝えたい
切なく　沁み込んだ　月明かり

切なく　沁み込んだ　月明かり

omoi wa kokoro fukaku ni omomi wo kanjiru koto
koi wa koko ni nai mono wo koi motometeru koto

moshi soba ni anata ga ite kureta nara
mou kono mado mo KAATEN tojiteru deshou

yozora ya machi no yakei wo miru koto yori mo
tabun motto daijina koto ga futari ni wa aru kara
watashi wa anata ni hisokana koi wo shiteru aitakute
kon'ya mo mata hoshi ni negattemasu

ai wa fureai jareai toki ni wa kizutsukeai
yurushiai mutsumiatte hagukumiau no deshou

moshi soba ni anata ga iru to shita nara
mou akari sae kuraku shiteru deshou ka

kokoro no oku he to fukaku fukaku mogutte
shizumiyuku you na kagayaki wa umi no soko no shinju

watashi wa konna ni mo anata wo omotteru tsutaetai
setsunaku shimikonda tsukiakari

setsunaku shimikonda tsukiakari

Translation

This feeling from deep in my heart feels so great
This love even though there is none I ask this request

If you could come right next to me
I'd still close the window and the curtains

More than just watching the night sky or the city's night view
Maybe so much more important is the two of us together
For me to want to meet you and continue this secret love
Tonight I'll keep praying to the stars

Love is so fickle so playful and sometimes so painful
Forgiving intimate and exciting right?

If it so happens that you're right there next to me
You think with that light it will still be dark?

As it dives deeper and deeper to the very core of my heart
I'll start to shine much like a pearl at the bottom of the sea
I wanted to tell you that this is how I think
Painfully immersed in moonlight

Those whose love comes true whose dreams can be accomplished
Again tonight a great many
Pearls will look up at the night sky and shine

As it dives deeper and deeper to the very core of my heart
I'll start to shine much like a pearl at the bottom of the sea
I wanted to tell you that this is how I think
Painfully immersed in moonlight

Painfully immersed in moonlight
