Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I see the star sign?
Hey,
I know that you can see the star sign, uh yea!

ソーダ水の泡のような瞬きが空焦がした
冬の大三角形がシグナルもし誰か見つけたら

白い息切らして集まろうあの場所へ

数多の星の下で
今年あった好きな事をカウントして笑い合おう
かけがえない仲間と共に

同じ空を見上げているのなら
Just say yeah yeah! Just say yeah yeah!
オリオンが沈む前に出かけよう
Just say yeah yeah! Just say yeah yeah!
Lemme hear you say yeah yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
胸の鼓動を分け合えば
Lemme hear you say yeah yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
銀河も飛び越えられる!

ベルの音響く季節は
白く染めたキャンディみたいな
街並みがふちどった夜空
I see the stars shine 手で仰いだ

この静寂の中僕らの足音だけ
響いては繰り返してく
何年経っても変わらない
この先も揺るがない
絆がここにあるから

同じ空を見上げているのなら
Just say yeah yeah! Just say yeah yeah!
オリオンが沈む前に出かけよう
Just say yeah yeah! Just say yeah yeah!
Lemme hear you say yeah yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
胸の鼓動を分け合えば
Lemme hear you say yeah yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
銀河も飛び越えられる!

Can I see the star sign? ooh yeah wow wow wow
I know that you can see the star sign, wow yeah eh eh eh

言葉になどできない想い
"Mystical cosmic wonder"
One tribe ずっと共に

同じ空を見上げているのなら
Just say yeah yeah! Just say yeah yeah!
オリオンが沈む前に出かけよう
Just say yeah yeah! Just say yeah yeah!
Lemme hear you say yeah yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
胸の鼓動を分け合えば
Lemme hear you say yeah yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
銀河も飛び越えられる!

Can I see the star sign?
I know that you can see the star sign

The rapid flickering, reminiscent of carbonated drink bubbles, burned the atmosphere

If someone finds the winter triangle signal
If someone discovers the signal of the winter triangle

Let's gather at that place, gasping for breath in the cold
Let's gather at that location, breathing heavily in the freezing air

Beneath the multitude of stars
Underneath the vast number of stars

Let's count and laugh about the things we liked this year
Let's enumerate and share the enjoyable experiences we had this year

With irreplaceable companions by our side

During the season when the sound of bells reverberate

The cityscape, dyed white like candy
The urban landscape, resembling candy, covered in white

I looked up at the night sky with my hands
I raised my hands and looked at the night sky above

I see the stars shine
I perceive the radiance of the stars

Amidst this silence, only our footsteps echo
Within this quietness, only our footsteps reverberate

Repeating and resounding
Continuously repeating and making an echo

Unchanging, even after many years
Remaining constant, even after the passage of numerous years

Because the bond is here
Because the connection between us exists in this place

If we are looking up at the same sky
If we are gazing at the sky together

The emotions that cannot be expressed verbally

"A sensation of mystical awe inspired by the cosmic universe"

One tribe, always together
One community, eternally united
