Shimamiya Eiko

The crickets live the night of the full moon tomorrow hurriedly, on the path of bush clover
Light shines on your pale cheek
It goes along and falls

I love the moon that comes out on the 14th
I still have hope that it will be full tomorrow
In the end we hold each other tightly at an unmanned station

Even if it waxes and wanes over and over again
Let's always have the moon as it is today
No matter how many times we miss one another
Let's meet one day beneath today's moon

Is the merry summer a dream or an illusion of the thin wind?
Being joined together and having life cut off
If those aren't acceptable

Let's pray to the moon that comes out on the 14th together
And I'll hold onto our un-waning memories
Even if the night train carries you far away

Please, please, I want you to be happy
Even if you're looking at today's moon with someone else

Even if it waxes and wanes over and over again
Let's always have the moon as it is today

Let's meet one day beneath today's moon
