- Japanese
- 月明かり柳が揺れる
- わたしは路傍の礫
- 思い馳せるあなたの姿
- 羊を数えるように
- 別れゆく意味があるなら
- せめて悲しまないで
- 沈黙から離れた空へ
- 一筋の愛を込めて
- どんな夜だって
- 失い続けたって
- 共に生きてきたろう
- 瞬くように
- 何かを求めて月を見ていた
- 嵐に怯えるわたしの前に
- 現れたのがあなたでよかった
- まるで何もかもがなかったかのように
- この火は消えたりしない
- きっと
- その窓を風が叩けば
- 僅かに開け放して
- ただひとつ そうただひとつ
- 語り得ぬ声で叫ぶ
- 生まれ変わったとして
- 思い出せなくたって
- 見つけてみせるだろう あなたの姿
- 全てを燃やして月を見ていた
- 誰かがそれを憐れむとしても
- あなたがいれば幸せだったんだ
- およそ正しくなどなかったとしても
- 消えたりしない
- 名前を呼んで もう一度だけ
- 優しく包むその柔い声で
- 月を頼りに掴んだ枝が
- あなただった
- あなただった
- 何かを求めて月を見ていた
- 嵐に怯えるわたしの前に
- 現れたのがあなたでよかった
- まるで何もかもがなかったかのように
- この火は消えたりしない
- きっと

- Official English translation
- In the moonlight the willow sways
- On this roadside I am but a stone
- Visions of you come to me
- Like counting sheep
- If there is any meaning to our parting ways
- Then you need not be sad
- From the silence to a distant sky
- Fill your heart with an unwavering love
- No matter what night
- No matter the cost
- Haven't we been living this life together
- As if in the blink of an eye
- I was yearning for something Gazing at the moon
- I was so afraid of the storm, when you appeared before me
- And I'm so glad that it was you
- It's as if nothing before this moment ever mattered
- This flame will never go out
- Ever
- If the wind knocks on your window
- Leave it ever so slightly ajar
- There's only, yes, there's only one
- An unutterable voice screaming out
- Were we to be reborn
- Unable to remember
- Somehow I know I'd still find you
- I was burning everything Gazing at the moon
- Even though I might have been pitied for it
- I was happy as long as you were there
- Even though we might have been wrong about so much
- We will never disappear
- Call my name Just one more time
- With that soft voice which envelops me so gently
- Guided by the moonlight, I seized a branch
- And that branch was you
- It was you
- I was yearning for something Gazing at the moon
- I was so afraid of the storm, when you appeared before me
- And I'm so glad that it was you
- It's as if nothing before this moment ever mattered
- This flame will never go out
- Ever
