Tooku made arukou yo, hadashi de

Dareka ni totte no futsuu wo shiyou

遠くまで歩こうよ、裸足で
小さな幸せを見つけて
湿った月が窓を覗いて
こっちへおいでと笑った

似たもの同士なんだよね、案外
分かり合えない部分も安牌
月明かりをめくった残像
誰かにとっての普通をしよう

私と踊ってよ、ムーンライト
ねぇ、こっちであそぼう　サニーサイド
隠し事ばっかのインサイド
ねぇ、こっちであそぼうよ　ミッドナイト
この、重たいカーテンを開けて
嘘みたいな夜を抜け出そう
まだ、やることばっかで忙しいけどおやすみ

あの、一等星になって
街をハイジャックしようぜ
この、メロウな今日をずっと泳いでいこう
街明かりを奪って、月で待ち合わせ
届きそうで届かない、あなたはムーンライト

理由もなく、寂しい夜が来て
旧くなっていく記憶の上で眠りたい
似たもの同士なんだから、厄介
隠し事すらも抱えて、厄介
まだ、やることばっかで忙しいけどおやすみ

あの、光の方へ　どこか遠い方へ
この、メロウな今日をずっと泳いでいこう
尽きない悩みの種、話を聞かせて
私とあなただけの世界で
あの、一等星になって
街をハイジャックしようぜ
この、メロウな今日をずっと泳いでいこう
穴だらけの心で、あなただけを思って
眠れそうで眠れない、こんな夜は

私と踊ってよ、ムーンライト
ねぇ、こっちであそぼう　サニーサイド
隠し事ばっかのインサイド
ねぇ、こっちであそぼうよ　ミッドナイト

街明かりを奪って、月で待ち合わせ
届きそうで届かない、あなたはムーンライト

遠くまで歩こうよ、裸足で
小さな幸せを見つけて
湿った月が窓を覗いて
こっちへおいでと笑った
似たもの同士なんだよね、案外
分かり合えない部分も安牌
月明かりをめくった残像
私にとっての普通でいよう

English Translation

Let's walk far away, barefoot
Finding little pieces of happiness
The damp moon peeked through the window
And smiled, calling me to come closer

We are more alike than we thought, aren't we
Even the parts we cannot understand feel safe enough
The afterimage left by the turned page of moonlight
Let's try to live what is ordinary to someone else

Dance with me, Moonlight
Hey, let's play over here on the Sunny Side
An inside filled with nothing but secrets
Hey, let's play over here in the Midnight
Draw open these heavy curtains
Let's slip away from this night that feels like a lie
Though there is still so much to do and I am busy, goodnight

Let's become that first-magnitude star
And hijack the city
Let's keep swimming through this mellow day
Steal the city lights and meet upon the moon
So close to reaching you, yet never quite there, you are my Moonlight

For no reason at all, a lonely night arrives
I want to sleep upon the fading memories
We are alike, and that makes it troublesome
Even carrying hidden things makes it troublesome
Though there is still so much to do and I am busy, goodnight

Toward that light, toward somewhere far away
Let's keep swimming through this mellow day
Tell me the seeds of your endless worries
In a world that belongs only to you and me
Let's become that first-magnitude star
And hijack the city
Let's keep swimming through this mellow day
With a heart full of holes, thinking only of you
On nights like this, I seem like I could sleep but cannot

Dance with me, Moonlight
Hey, let's play over here on the Sunny Side
An inside filled with nothing but secrets
Hey, let's play over here in the Midnight

Steal the city lights and meet upon the moon
So close to reaching you, yet never quite there, you are my Moonlight

Let's walk far away, barefoot
Finding little pieces of happiness
The damp moon peeked through the window
And smiled, calling me to come closer
We are more alike than we thought, aren't we
Even the parts we cannot understand feel safe enough
The afterimage left by the turned page of moonlight
Let's remain what is ordinary for me
