Kakko tsuketa ore no serifu wa hoka no dare kano serifu de
Fui ni miageru shiruetto kimi no yokogao o terashita
Awai hikari wa ima demo
Nani o matteru kimi wa inai heya
Tokei dake ga ashi oto no youni nemurenai mune ni hibiku
Futari mita anohi no tsuki o ima dokode kimi wa miteru
Ore no shigusa manete waratta kimi no koe mo omoi dasu
Kimi to aruku yoru no shiin wa orenji iro photogurafu
Kage ni otoshita uso to ore no wagamama o yurushita
Kimi no namida ga ima demo
Nani mo iwazuni toki wa nagareru
Yagate kuru asa no hisashi ni tokeru youni sora ni kieru
Saigo no yoru wa doko ni mo nakute
Okizari no ore no kokoro o tsuki dake ga ima mo miteru
Kimi o matteru tooi omoi demo
Tokei dake ga ashi oto no youni nemurenai mune ni hibiku
Ima mo matteru hitori tomatteru
Futari mita anohi no tsuki o ima dokode kimi wa miteru
The lyrics of Kotani Kinya's "In the Moonlight" paint a picture of long lost love and longing. The opening lyrics describe a deep feeling of nostalgia and connection to someone, triggered by the orange-hued moon that recalls memories of the person he's singing to. He wishes to speak to them but finds that his words lack the same power as someone else's.
He remembers the moment he looked up and saw her silhouette illuminated by the faint light of the moon. The memory of their brief and distant encounter remains poignant as he gazes up and wonders where she is now. The imagery of a ticking clock echoing through his heart, and the silence of his empty room serves as a reminder of the loneliness that has come after their separation.
He recalls a moment of laughter with her and mimics her reaction. The memory of walking with her, the warmth of the night air and the sound of their feet on the pavement, are all encapsulated in an orange-colored photograph.
The song presents a story of true love and nostalgia, with lyrics that capture the essence of longing for someone who is no longer present, and vivid imagery that takes the listener back to memories of similar experiences.

Versurile in ROMÂNĂ👇👇👇
Cand lumina lunii vine
Îmi aduce aminte de tine
Versurile mele afectate
Sunt versurile care aparțin altcuiva
Mă uit brusc in sus să văd o siluetă
Lumina care îți luminează profilul
Chiar și în acea lumina palidă
Ce aștept?
Camera goală de tine
Ecouri singuratice în inima mea nedormită ca pașii
Chiar si acum aștept
Singur, m-am oprit
Luna pe care am văzut-o împreună în acea noapte,
Unde o s-o vezi de acum?
Chiar si acum , aștept
Singur, m-am oprit
Luna pe care am văzut-o împreună în acea zi
Unde o s-o vezi de acum?
