Lyrics

Japanese Romaji English translation

君よ 語ってみないか
生まれたばかりの星達と
おずおずとした煌きの中に
君は熱い想いを感じる筈だ

君よ 渡ってみないか
雄々しく流れる 星雲を
そのふところに 抱かれた時に
君は深い命を感じる筈だ

心を澄ませ 耳すませ
君の旅立ちの序曲
聴いてみよう

君よ 歌ってみないか
夜空に輝く 星座から
こぼれて落ちるメロディーの中に
君は夢の芽生えを感じる筈だ

心を澄ませ 耳すませ
君の旅立ちの序曲
聴いてみよう

心を澄ませ 耳すませ
君の旅立ちの序曲
聴いてみよう

Kimi yo katatte minai ka
Umareta bakari no hoshi-tachi to
Ozuozu to shita kirameki no naka ni
Kimi wa atsui omoi wo kanjiru hazu da

Kimi yo watatte minai ka
Ooshiku nagareru seiun wo
Sono futokoro ni idakareta toki ni
Kimi wa fukai inochi wo kanjiru hazu da

Kokoro wo sumase mimi sumase
Kimi no tabidachi no jokyoku
Kiite miyou

Kimi yo utatte minai ka
Yozora ni kagayaku seiza kara
Koborete ochiru merodii no naka ni
Kimi wa yume no mebae wo kanjiru hazu da

Kokoro wo sumase mimi sumase
Kimi no tabidachi no jokyoku
Kiite miyou

Kokoro wo sumase mimi sumase
Kimi no tabidachi no jokyoku
Kiite miyou

Won't you try talking?
To these newborn stars
Amidst the timid sparkling,
You should be able to feel the passionate thoughts

Won't you try crossing?
The majestically flowing nebula
When you are held in its bosom
You should be able to feel the profoundness of life

Strain your heart, strain your ears
The prelude to your journey
Listen to it

Won't you try singing?
Amongst the constellations shining in the night sky
Amidst the overflowing melody
You should be able to feel the burgeoning of dreams

Strain your heart, strain your ears
The prelude to your journey
Listen to it

Strain your heart, strain your ears
The prelude to your journey
Listen to it
