Lyrics[]
The official lyrics were released on the Final Fantasy XVI Original Soundtrack. The Japanese translation was translated by Kazutoyo Maehiro and was released on the official video of the song.[3]
- English
- Star light (say goodnight)
- Star bright, where have you fallen?
- Star light (say goodnight)
- Star bright, I hear you calling
- Fire, a fire that filled the night
- Fire that warmed and brightened my life
- My guiding light
- On high
- My hearth, my beacon, and my hope
- A sky of scattered tears
- A thousand years apart
- Should they fade, I will not be afraid of the dark
- For your flame still burns inside me, deep within my heart
- Showing me a new tomorrow
- Never too far
- And when I cannot bear the pain
- I'll look up to the sky and pray
- That though our night is over, you shall always remain
- Forever my treasure, my star
- Japanese translation
- 星の光が静かに瞬く
- 輝きで あなたを照らすように
- 星の光が静かに瞬く
- 輝きで あなたの声を逃さぬように
- 夜を照した希望の炎
- その炎は私を満たし 私を導いてくれた
- 遠い遠い 空の向こうから
- 私が私を 見失わないように
- 星々が 涙の中に消えていく
- その光が消えたとしても 私はもう怖くない
- あなたの炎は 私の心の奥深くに灯っているから
- きっと 新たな明日を見せてくれるから
- もしも 私が耐えられなくなった時は
- 空に向かって語りかける
- ふたりの夜が終わっても
- あなたは私の星 ずっと私の宝物
