緑に寝そべって　黄金の大地想って
母なる地球おしえて　どのくらい遠いの
星に立って照らし返す

命の宿る遥かなる銀河から今
一節の光が私を照らしてくれる
焦らずに歩いてゆこう

God give me the power
大気圏突き抜けて universe を泳ぎ出す
ここから飛び出して
白いうさぎの踊る月へゆこう

And when I get there
Volume　上げて歌うよ
夜の月光と共に　あなたの窓に届け
過去の罪をお許し下さい
私から声をとらないで命を持って行かないで
あなたに聞こえますように
記憶の奥底から　よみがえる願い事
幼い私のまつげに積もる
雪を振り払ったらまっすぐ未来が見えた

海に抱かれて晴れた宇宙を見つめても
父なる地球は知らないの　その先の何かを
流星に乗って　首をのばす

God give me the power
大気圏突き抜けて universe を泳ぎ出す
ここから飛び出して
白いうさぎの踊る月へゆこう

And when I get there
Volume　上げて歌うよ
夜の月光と共にあなたの窓に届け
好奇心をお許し下さい
月の運河の跡を追って旅に出かけよう
あなたが潤いますように
指の先にひとしずく夢がふるえてるから
水たまりに波が立つなら
揺らめく黄色がまた丸くなるまで待てばいい

Volume　上げて歌うよ
夜の月光と共にあなたの窓に届け
過去の罪をお許し下さい
私から声をとらないで命を持って行かないで

midori ni nesobette   ougon no daichi omotte
haha naru chikyuu oshiete   dono kurai tooi no
hoshi ni tatte terashikaesu
	Sprawled out on the verdant grass, I think of the gold earth
	Show me, Mother Earth   how far away
	the stars are, that shine down on us

inochi no yadoru harukanaru ginga kara ima
issetsu no hikari ga watashi wo terashitekureru
aserazu ni aruite yukou
	From the vast reaches of the Milky Way, harboring life,
	A ray of light illuminates me
	Calmly, I step forward

God give me the power
taikiken tsukinukete   universe wo oyogidasu
koko kara tobidashite
shiroi usagi no odoru   tsuki e yukou [1]
	God give me the power
	to pass through the atmosphere, swimming out into the universe
	Let me take flight
	To the moon where the white rabbit dances [1]

And when I get there
Volume   agete utau yo
yoru no gekkou to tomo ni   anata no mado ni todoke
kako no tsumi wo o-yurushikudasai [2]
watashi kara koe wo toranaide inochi wo motte ikanai de
anata ni kikoemasu you ni
kioku no okusoko kara   yomigaeru negaigoto
osanai watashi no matsuge ni tsumoru
yuki wo furiharattara massugu mirai ga mieta
	And when I get there
	I'll turn up the volume, singing
	to reach your window with the moonlight
	Please forgive the past [2]
	Don't take my voice, my life from me
	So that you can hear me
	That is my wish, brought back from the depths of my memory
	When, as a child, I wiped off the snow that had gathered on my brow
	Suddenly I could see my future spread out before me

umi ni dakarete hareta uchuu wo mitsumetemo
chichi naru chikyuu wa shiranai no   sono saki no nanika wo
ryuusei ni notte   kubi wo nobasu 
	Bourne by the sea, as I search the clear universe
	I still don't know Father Earth, as I strain my head 
	Riding on a shooting star, continuing my search

God give me the power
taikiken tsukinukete   universe wo oyogidasu
koko kara tobidashite
shiroi usagi no odoru tsuki e yukou [1
	God give me the power
	to pass through the atmosphere, swimming out into the unvierse
	Let me take flight
	To the moon where the white rabbit dances [1]

And when I get there
Volume   agete utau yo
yoru no gekkou to tomo ni anata no mado ni todoke
koukishin wo o-yurushikudasai
tsuki no unga no ato wo otte tabi ni dekakeyou
anata ga uruoimasu you ni [3]
yubi no saki ni hito shizuku yume ga furueteru kara
mizutamari ni nami ga tatsu nara
yurameku kiiro ga mata marukunaru made mateba ii
	And when I get there
	I'll turn up the volume, singing
	to reach your window with the moonlight
	Please forgive my curiosity
	For journeying out to the trails that run across the moon
	As if you are favored, [3]
	you touch a fragment of a dream with the tip of your fingers
	If you cause a ripple through the puddle
	Wait for the wavering gold to become round again

Volume   agete utau yo
yoru no gekkou to tomo ni anata no mado ni todoke
kako no tsumi wo o-yurushikudasai [2]
watashi kara koe wo toranaide inochi wo motte ikanaide
	I'll turn up the volume, singing
	Reaching your window with the moonlight
	Please forgive the past [2]
	Don't take my voice, my life from me

=============================
[1] 白いうさぎの踊る月: shiroi usagi no odoru tsuki, the moon where the white rabbit dances. Like the "man in the moon," the patterns on the moon's surface are said to resemble a white rabbit from certain angles.
[2] 過去の罪をお許し下さい: kako no tsumi wo o-yurushikudasai, please forgive my past sins/offenses. 
[3] 潤います: to be moist; to get wet; to be watered; to receive benefits; to receive favors, etc. "You" seem to be favored by/profit from the dream fragment that you are touching.
