Kanji

 

私は今 南の一つ星を 見上げて誓った
どんな時も 微笑みを絶やさずに 歩いて行こうと

貴方を想うと ただせつなくて 涙を流しては
星に願いを 月に祈りを 捧げるためだけに生きてきた Uh…

だけど今は 貴方への愛こそが 私のプライド

やさしさとは 許し合うことを知る 最後の真実
わがままさえ 愛しく思えたなら 本当に幸せ

貴方は私に 自由と孤独を 教えてくれた人
夜が来るたびに無口になって 震える肩を抱きしめていた Uh…

だけど今は 貴方への愛こそが 私のプライド

いつか私も 空を飛べるはず ずっと信じていた
翼があったら飛んでゆくのに 貴方の胸に今すぐにでも Uh…

見上げてみて 南の一つ星を 素敵な空でしょう
私は今 貴方への愛だけに 笑って 泣いてる

Watashi wa ima minami no hitsotsu boshi wo miagete chikatta
Donna toki mo hohoemi wo tayasazu ni aruite ikou to

Anata wo omou to tada setsunakute namida wo nagashite wa
Hoshi ni negai wo tsuki ni inori wo sasageru tame dake ni ikite kita

Dakedo ima wa anata e no ai koso ga watashi no puraido

Yasashisa to wa yurushiau koto wo shiru saigo no shinjitsu
Wagamama sae itoshiku omoeta nara hontou ni shiawase

Anata wa watashi ni jiyuu to kodoku wo oshitete kureta hito
Yoru ga kuru tabi ni muguchi ni natte furueru kata wo dakishimete ita

Dakedo ima wa anata e no ai koso ga watashi no puraido

Itsuka watashi mo sora wo toberu hazu zutto shinjite ita
Tsubasa ga attara tonde yuku no ni anata no mune ni ima sugu ni demo

Miagete mite minami no hitsotsu boshi wo suteki na sora deshou
Watashi wa ima anata e no ai koso ga waratte naiteru

Translation

 

I looked up at Venus in the southern sky and made a wish right now
That I would always walk on with a smile that never fades

When I think of you, it just makes me sad and tears start to flow
I’ve been living just to offer my wish to the stars, my prayer to the moon

But now my love for you is the very thing that fills me with pride

The last truth I realize is that gentleness is mutual forgiveness
If I could just lovingly accept my selfishness, I would truly be happy

You were the one who taught me freedom and loneliness
Every night I grow silent and wrap my arms around my shivering shoulders

But now my love for you is the very thing that fills me with pride

I used to always believe that I could fly in the sky someday too
All I need are wings to fly with, to fly into your arms right now

Take a look up at Venus in the southern sky, isn’t it wonderful?
I’m smiling and crying now only because of my love for you
