kanji & kana

あなたしか
あなたしか
あなたしか
もう　見えないわ

夜空に輝く数多(あまた)の星から
大事なひとつを今なら指差せる
何度も季節が移り変わり
星座が巡っても　私は迷わない

愛とは　いつも　そこにいること
孤独な日々に　やっと気づいた

長い光よ　永遠の祈り
何億光年　思い続けてる
晴れた夜にも　雨の夜にも
私のことを見守ってくれた人
この部屋の灯りを消して
あなたの光に包まれたい

いくつか恋して傷ついた時も
見上げた空にはあなたがいてくれた
やさしい言葉や慰めより
何も変わらない夜空にほっとした

愛とは燃える炎じゃなくて
日向のような風のぬくもり

長い光よ　命ある限り
絶えることなく　照らし続けよう
星がひとつも見えない夜も
心の奥に何か感じるはず
愛しさを鏡にして
私の光を届けさせて

english translation

No one but you
No one but you
No one but you
I can't see anyone anymore but you

From the many sparkling stars in the night sky,
I now can pick out an important one
Many times over the seasons change,
And even though the constellations move, I won't lose my way

Love is always here
At last I noticed it amidst my lonely days

This long light is my eternal prayer
Across many light-years I continue to think of it
Even if the night turns to day, and even if the night is rainy,
A person watched over me
The lamp in this room goes out,
And I want to be wrapped in your light

Several times I've fallen in love and been hurt,
But I looked up to the sky, and you were there for me
More than kind words or any comfort,
The unchanging night sky eases me

Love is not a burning blaze
But rather a breeze as warm as the sun

This long light will be here for me as long as I'm alive
Without disappearing, it continues to shine
There'll be nights that not a single star can be seen,
But I should be able to feel something inside my chest
Affection shows itself in the mirror
As I cast my own light
