Nao - Star's Wish / 星の願い

Vocal, Story, Art & Animation: NaoMusic & Lyrics : マイミュRecord & Mix: Stretch Sound Studio

Intro暗くて辛くて悲しいVerse 1夢を見ていた
闇に包まれたまま
寂しい時 深淵で輝いていた。
Pre Chorus終わらない宇宙の中の君を見た
一人で泣いていたのかな
私の友達になってくれるかなー
Chorus愛を求めて、
この欲望が
今夜の流れ星になって
僕らの願いが
どうか、叶えますように
こんばんは、またあしたねInterludeね、私の声、聞こえる?
私の歌、ちゃんと届いてるのかな。
星を失った夜も、
君がいれば、ただそれだけでも、私は輝ける
Verse 2君に会いたい
手も繋いでいたい
また一人残された私
君に会いたい
Prechorus終わらない, 星を共に数えてたい
満天の星空に流星のように
落ちてくる
ララーララーもう~会いたいよ!Chorus愛を求める、
この気持ちが
流れ星になって
僕らの願いが
きっと、叶えますように
ずっと祈りたい
Endingやっと、一緒だよねこんばんは、これからも

IntroIn darkness all by myself, can you hear meVerse 1I once had a dream,
Enveloped in this darkness.
In tears I shined my brightest, hoping to reach you.
Pre ChorusIn space, neverending, I saw your light.
Are you crying all alone?
If you can hear me, I wonder, would you be my friend?
ChorusIn search of love,
I dream of you.
Tonight I want to be your shooting star.
This dream of ours,
Please, let it come true.
Goodnight, see you tomorrow.InterludeHey, can you hear my voice?
How about my song? Does it reach you?
Even if all the stars tonight disappeared,
For as long as you’re here, I’ll shine for you.
Verse 2I long to meet you,
To feel the warmth of your hands in mine.
Once again I’m all alone
Oh, how I wish to be with you.
PrechorusThese stars, neverending, I wish to count with you.
In this sky full of stars, like a shooting star
I’ve fallen for you.
Lala lalaI wanna see you now!ChorusIn search of love,
These feelings
Descend like a shooting star.
This dream of ours
Will surely come true.
You’re my wish forevermore.
EndingFinally, we’re together now.Good evening, as always.
