Shooting Star

This is an english translation of one the songs I currently can't get enough of. It's one of the ending themes of the japanese anime series Bleach. I liked it even before I knew what the lyrics meant, and now that I do, I like it even more. ^_^


Shooting Star (by Youhna)

Alone, I looked towards the sky and saw a shooting star,
Although the burst suddenly vanished in a moment.
My heart becomes hurt with thoughts of you,
Right now I want to be with you, but I can't leap the skies so...

Maybe if I could become a shooting star,
I could leap through the skies to you.
Whatever kind of tomorrow comes, since a comet is always unbreakable,
This feeling is strong.

I don't like it when it rains. When it was dimmed out,
I remember what you said, even now.
"In the night sky, after the rain, beautifully, the stars appear."
Considering that, I've come to like the rain too...

Maybe if I could become a shooting star,
The overflowing light will fall,
So whenever times are sad, you who look to the night sky
Will come to smile and, like the comet, want to shine more.

What are you always fighting with on your own?
Being by your side is something I can't do but...

Maybe if I could become a shooting star,
I could leap through the skies to you.
Surely, without fail I'd reach you in this moment of light
And your now illuminated sky will revolve.
If I could become a shooting star,
Surely, I would rise by your side,
Whenever the time.
