isshun de hajikete wa kiete shimatta kedo

The lyrics of Younha's song Houkiboshi describe a person looking up at the night sky and seeing a shooting star. Despite the fact that the star disappears soon after, the person's heart aches when they think of their loved one because they are unable to meet them at that moment. In the second verse, the person imagines turning into a shooting star themselves and flying across the sky. They express their desire to always shine brightly, even during their sad times, so that their loved one can see them and smile.
The lyrics convey the feeling of longing, the desire to be close to someone who is far away. The image of the shooting star represents the fleeting nature of happiness and how it can disappear without warning. The person wishes they could become a shooting star, to fly across the sky and be close to their loved one. The lyrics deliver a message of hope- the singer will always be there for their loved one, and their love will never fade away, just like the shooting star that never disappears.
