City Lights by the Moonlight
When our lips meet,
くちびる 交わせば
The city's lights are
真下に 街の灯
Floating just below us,
浮かんで みえるわ
I can see them clearly.
二人は 流れ星
We are like shooting stars,
光の尾をひいて
Trailing a tail of light,
夜空かけめぐるのよ
Racing across the night sky.
City Lights by the Moonlight
City Lights by the Moonlight,
光りの海には
In the sea of light,
二人の想いが
Our feelings intertwine.
はるかに 広がる
Far and wide,
二人は 帆かけ船
We are a sailing ship,
光の波 切って
Cutting through waves of light,
夜空かけめぐるのよ
Circling the night sky, oh.
City Lights by the Moonlight
City Lights by the Moonlight,
夜ふけの街には
In the late-night streets,
眠ったメリーゴーラウンド
A sleeping merry-go-round,
静かに流れる Freeway
Quietly flowing freeway,
二人は 流れ星
We are shooting stars,
光の尾をひいて
Trailing a tail of light.
夜空かけめぐるのよ
The night sky spins around us,
City Lights by the Moonlight
City Lights by the Moonlight,
くちびる 交わせば
As our lips meet,
真下に 街の灯
The city lights shine below,
浮かんで みえるわ
They appear to float.
City Lights by the Moonlight
City Lights by the Moonlight,
光りの海には
In this sea of light,
二人の想いが
Our feelings for each other,
はるかに 広がる
Expand far and wide,
City Lights by the Moonlight
City Lights by the Moonlight.
