Betelgeuse

Lyrics & Composition: Kentarou Kobuchi

Not realizing that Betelgeuse, shining on Orion's right shoulder,
is no longer there, we gaze at light from 500 years ago again today

I believe your feelings are always directed at me
even from a distant city

No matter how far apart we are, I feel you so strongly
The light from you is always reaching me
Even if your feelings were to disappear
I wouldn't notice. I shine even now
like those stars

When we were born, a quiet river flowed here
What's dirty gets covered up, crushed by the asphalt

We buried a time capsule in the spring when we departed
but we can't find it underneath the buildings

So that only what's beautiful gets left behind
no matter what's destroyed
even if you close those eyes of yours
the sorrow of the world will not close it eyes
The story of this planet

Why do happy tears and sad tears come forth to the same eyes?

No matter how far apart we are, I feel you so strongly
The light from you is always reaching me
Even if your feelings were to disappear
I wouldn't notice. I'm watching you as you shine

Even if I've realized the light will disappear someday
I can't say it as long as you're smiling
I'll smile too if you smile
I'll smile too on our last night too
like those stars
Betelgeuse

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Kobuchi Kentarou

Orion no migikata ni kagayaku Beterugius wa mou nai to
Shirazu ni bokura wa kyou mo miteru gohyakunen mae no hikari wo

Kimi no kimochi wa zutto boku ni muiteru to
Shinjite iru yo tooi machi kara

Donna ni hanaretetemo tsuyoku kanjiteru
Kimi kara no hikari zutto todoiteru yo
Tatoe kimi no kimochi ga kieta to shitemo
Kizukanai'n da boku wa ima mo kagayaku
Ano hoshi no you ni

Bokura ga umareta koro koko niwa shizuka na kawa ga nagareteta
Yogoreta mono wa futa wo sareteku asufaruto ni tsubusareteku

Tabidachi no haru umeta taimu kapuseru wa
Mitsukaranai yo biru no mashita ja

Utsukushiki mono dake ga nokosarete yuku
Sono tame ni nani ga kowasareta to shitemo
Tatoe kimi ga sono me wo tojiyou tomo
Sekai no kanashimi wa me wo tojinai
Kono hoshi no sutoorii

Ureshi namida mo kanashii namida mo onaji hitomi ni ukabu nowa naze

Donna ni hanaretetemo tsuyoku kanjiteru
Kimi kara no hikari zutto todoiteru yo
Tatoe kimi no kimochi ga kieta to shitemo
Kizukanai'n da boku wa kagayaku kimi wo miteru

Itsuka kieta hikari ni kizuitetemo
Ienai yo kimi ga waratteru nara
Boku mo warau yo kimi ga waraeba
Boku mo warau yo saigo no yoru mo
Ano hoshi no you ni
