English lyrics
I carry yesterday and reflect tomorrow on the fuselage
The blue stratosphere I've been looking up is just below me
The Venus is shining far beyond
With an ion engine I'm accelerating without limit
A long time ago, the first cosmic velocity became
A velocity I exceeded at the far distant past and I can't go back
I smell a cosmic ray here
How's the weather there? Can you see the Orion?
I wave my hand to you
I shine, shine, and shine
Like a shooting star in the night sky
I'm falling, falling and falling
I'm coming back from the space to the Earth
I sparkle, sparkle and sparkle
Pulled by the blue gravity
I'll burn out, burn out and burn out
I'm melting in the air
A pulsar wavers and a black hole is freezing
I feel my heart ache by the lights that were brought
If I go further, I can reach someday
I rely on orbit maneuvering signals and go on
Before long, the second cosmic velocity was
Gone before I knew it and I can't go back to the moment
There's even no sky or cloud here
When I go back someday,
What kinds of expression will you put on your face for me?
I'll go back in a hurry
The starry sky is chilled in indigo blue
The Milky Way is always at my backside
The moon's shadow dimly stops going
Now it's time for the last swing-by, good-bye
Stars whitely shine and make my eyes blinded
Even if communication is lost someday, forever
I won't forget, I can't forget...
I shine, shine, and shine
Like a shooting star in the night sky
I'm falling, falling and falling
I'm coming back from the space to the Earth
I sparkle, sparkle and sparkle
Pulled by the blue gravity
I'll burn out, burn out and burn out
I'm melting in the air
