Sotto tsutsumikonde kuretara ureshii
Koronde tatenai
Toki wa sukoshi no yuuki o kudasai
Omoi wa zutto todokanai mama kyou mo
Tsumetai machi de hitori
Koko ga doko ka mo omoidasenai
Owaranai yoru ni negai wa hitotsu
Hoshi no nai sora ni kagayaku hikari wo
Modorenai basho ni suteta mono de sae
Umarekawatte ashita wo kitto terasu
Hoshikuzu no naka de anata ni deaeta
Itsuka no kimochi no mama aetara yokatta
Modoranai kako ni naita koto de sae
Umarekawatte ashita wo kitto
Terashite kureru
Nemurenai toki wa
Sotto te wo tsunaide kuretara ureshii
Yoake wa kuru yo to
Sasayaite ite uso de mo ii kara
Negai wa zutto kanawanai mama kon'ya
Seiza o tsuresatte
Kiete shimatta mou, modorenai
Owaranai yoru ni negai wa hitotsu
Hoshi no nai sora ni kagayaku hikari wo
Ima wa toosugite hakanai hoshi de mo
Umarekawatte yozora wo kitto terasu
Hoshikuzu no naka de deaeta kiseki ga
Hitogomi no naka ni mata mienaku naru
Modoranai kako ni naita yorutachi ni
Tsugeru sayonara ashita wa kitto
Kagayakeru you ni
Konna chiisana seiza na no ni
Koko ni ita koto kizuite kurete
Arigatou...
Owaranai yoru ni negai wa hitotsu
Hoshi no nai sora ni kagayaku hikari wo
Modorenai basho ni suteta mono de sae
Umarekawatte ashita wo kitto terasu
Hoshikuzu no naka de anata ni deaeta
Itsuka no kimochi no mama aetara yokatta
Modoranai kako ni naita koto de sae
Umarekawatte ashita wo kitto
Terashite kureru
The Japanese song Rokutousei No Yoru by Aimerエメ talks about the struggles of life, the importance of hope and courage, and the power of memories. The first verse talks about the times when the singer has been hurt and how they feel happy when someone gently comforts and encourages them. The second verse talks about how memories can be elusive and difficult to access but the singer still finds comfort in reminiscing while being alone in a cold city. The chorus talks about the unfulfilled wishes of the singer to have a shining light in the sky, the ability to change their circumstances, and to be able to continue shining even in the face of uncertainty and change.
The second verse describes the singer's sleepless nights and how they wish someone would hold their hand and comfort them. They try to find solace in the fact that a new day is dawning and that they can lie to themselves about it being okay. The bridge talks about the miracle of being able to find someone special in the midst of all the meaningless stardust in the universe, and how grateful they are for that encounter. The last chorus reiterates the idea that there is only one wish for a bright light in the sky, even if the memories of that time fade away. They hope to keep shining tomorrow, even if they can't return to the past.
