Tsutaete kono omoi
Kaze yo hoshi yo
Shinjite matte iru koto wo
Kidzukeba manten no hoshi
Kimi mo miageteru no ka na
Tokihanatareta watashi ni
Sazukerareta junpaku no tsubasa
Demo matte iru wa
Kimi to no yakusoku
Oboeteru kara
Todokete kono omoi
Kaze yo hoshi yo
Subete wo tsutsumikomu kono hikari
Mamotte kono omoi
Kaze yo hoshi yo
Mitsukete morau tame no matataki
Moshi kaette kita naraba
Choppiri sunete mitai no
Kimi no komatta kao ga
Tamaranaku itoshii kara
Soshite yasashiku dakishimeru no
Hanikanda kao mitai kara
Tsutaete kono omoi
Kaze yo hoshi yo
Shinjite matte iru koto wo
Mitsumete kono omoi
Kaze yo hoshi yo
Watashi no kawari ni sono hi made…
Tsubasa ga habataki tagaru
Kimi no moto e maioritai to
Soredemo watashi wa matte iru wa
Meguriaeru sono hi made…
Translation
Wind, stars,
Please convey to them this feeling
I believe in you and am waiting for you
When I notice all the stars in the sky
I wonder if you’re looking up at them too?
I’ve received snow white wings
And been set free
But I’m still waiting for you
Because I remember
The promise I made with you
Wind, stars,
Please deliver to them this feeling
Wrap everything up in this light
Wind, stars,
Please protect these feelings
Twinkle so that you can find them and give it to them
If you were to ever come back
It might seem like I’m pouting
But that’s because your annoyed expression
Is unbearably precious to me
And then I’ll give you a gentle hug
Because I want to see what you look like embarrassed
Wind, stars,
Please convey to them this feeling
I believe in you and am waiting for you
Wind, stars
Please watch over these feelings
In my place, until then…
My wings are eager
To fly to where you are
But still I’ll be waiting
Til the day we can meet again…
Notes:
There are a zillion different versions of this song with different lyrics, but this is one of my favorite versions, sung by Chata of Dango Daikazoku fame!
Japanese Lyrics
伝えて この想い
風よ 星よ
信じて待っていることを
気づけば 満天の星
君も 見上げてるのかな
解き放たれた私に
授けられた 純白の翼
でも待っているわ
君との 約束
覚えてるから
届けて この想い
風よ 星よ
すべてを包み込む この光
守って この想い
風よ 星よ
見つけてもらうための 瞬き
もし 帰ってきたならば
ちょっぴり 拗ねてみたいの
君の 困った顔が
たまらなく 愛しいから
そして 優しく抱きしめるの
はにかんだ顔見たいから
伝えて この想い
風よ 星よ
信じて待っていることを
見つめて この想い
風よ 星よ
私の代わりに その日まで…
翼が 羽ばたきたがる
君の元へ 舞い降りたいと
それでも私は 待っているわ
巡り逢える その日まで…
