Kenshi Yonezu Tsuki Wo Miteita Japanese Kanji

月明かり柳が揺れる　わたしは路傍の礫
思い馳せるあなたの姿　羊を数えるように

別れゆく意味があるなら　せめて悲しまないで
沈黙から離れた空へ　一筋の愛を込めて

どんな夜だって　失い続けたって
共に生きてきたろう　瞬くように

何かを求めて月を見ていた
嵐に怯えるわたしの前に
現れたのがあなたでよかった
まるで何もかもがなかったかのように
この火は消えたりしない　きっと

その窓を風が叩けば　僅かに開け放して
ただひとつ　そうただひとつ　語り得ぬ声で叫ぶ

生まれ変わったとして　思い出せなくたって
見つけてみせるだろう　あなたの姿

全てを燃やして月を見ていた
誰かがそれを憐れむとしても
あなたがいれば幸せだったんだ
およそ正しくなどなかったとしても
消えたりしない

名前を呼んで　もう一度だけ
優しく包むその柔い声で
月を頼りに掴んだ枝が　あなただった

何かを求めて月を見ていた
嵐に怯えるわたしの前に
現れたのがあなたでよかった
まるで何もかもがなかったかのように
この火は消えたりしない　きっと

Kenshi Yonezu Moongazing English Translation

In the moonlight the willow sways
On this roadside I am but a stone
Visions of you come to me
Like counting sheep

If there is any meaning to our parting ways
Then you need not be sad
From the silence to a distant sky
Fill your heart with an unwavering love

No matter what night
No matter the cost
Haven’t we been living this life together
As if in the blink of an eye

I was yearning for something Gazing at the moon
I was so afraid of the storm, when you appeared before me
And I’m so glad that it was you
It’s as if nothing before this moment ever mattered
This flame will never go out

If the wind knocks on your window
Leave it ever so slightly ajar
There’s only, yes, there’s only one
An unutterable voice screaming out

Were we to be reborn
Unable to remember
Somehow I know　I’d still find you

I was burning everything Gazing at the moon
Even though I might have been pitied for it
I was happy as long as you were there
Even though we might have been wrong about so much
We will never disappear

Call my name Just one more time
With that soft voice which envelops me so gently
Guided by the moonlight, I seized a branch
And that branch was you

It was you
I was yearning for something Gazing at the moon
I was so afraid of the storm, when you appeared before me
And I’m so glad that it was you
It’s as if nothing before this moment ever mattered
This flame will never go out
Ever
