Houkiboshi

Yozora wo miage hitori houkiboshi wo mita no
Isshun de hajikete wa kiete shimatta kedo
Anata no koto omou to mune ga itaku naru no
Ima sugu aitai yo dakedo sora wa tobenai kara.

Moshi atashi ga houkiboshi ni nareta naraba
Sora kakenuke tonde iku
Donna ashita ga kitemo kono omoi wa tsuyoi
Dakara houkiboshi zutto kowarenai yo.

Ame ga futte iya da to boyaite ita toki ni
Anata ga itta koto ima demo oboeteru
Ame no ato no yozora wa kirei ni hoshi ga deru
Sore wo kangaeru to ame mo suki ni nareru yo ne to.

Moshi atashi ga houkiboshi ni nareta naraba
Afureru hikari furasu yo itsumo
Kanashii toki yozora miru anata ga
Egao ni naru you ni motto kagayakitai.

Anata wa itsumo hitori nanika to tatakatteru
Soba ni iru koto shika atashi ni wa dekinai kedo.

Moshi atashi ga houkiboshi ni nareta naraba
Sora kakenuke tonde iku kitto
Kanarazu todoku kono isshun no hikari de
Anata no ima terashi sora wo megurou.

Atashi ga houkiboshi ni nareta naraba
Kitto soba ni ite ageru donna toki mo.

[English]

I looked up at the night sky alone and watched a comet
But in an instant it burst and disappeared
When I think of you my heart aches
I want to see you right now, but I can't fly through the sky.

So if I could become a comet
I'd fly through the sky to you
No matter what tomorrow brings our love is strong
So this comet will never break.

Even now I can still remember
What you said when I complained about hating the rain
“After it rains, you can see the beautiful stars in the night sky
When you think of it that way you can come to like the rain, huh?”

If I could become a comet
I'd bathe you in light all the time
You look up at the night sky whenever you're sad
I want to shine more to make you smile.

You're always struggling with something alone
All I can do is be by your side.

So if I could become a comet
I'd fly through the sky to you
I'm sure I'll reach you, I must do, in this momentary light
I'll appear in your sky and light up your moment.

If I could become a comet
I'd surely be by your side all the time.
