Time, please stop…come to a stop on my hands
A ray of rain pauses and disappears
I realize that you cannot be replaced
That must surely be called “eternity”
This sentiment, as if to entwine my fingers, gradually burns the night
Slipping through the end of “good-bye”, it still embraces my body

Firefly, soar up into the stars
Far and close, wink your light and dance
“Such moment is eternity”—you are the one who taught me that

Time, please stop…come to a stop on my hands
The anger’s shadow fades and falls
Our hands, which tightly clasps to one another, raise the sweating heat
“Stay with me…stay with me…” we repeat and still embrace the sorrow

Firefly, soar up into the darkness
Dance into the tear-blurring night sky
“Such moment is everything”—you are the one who taught me that

“I don’t mind even if it’s behind the glass,” I expose my helplessness
and the summer where we relied on a trivial thing called “love”

Firefly, soar up into the stars
Far and close, wink your light and dance
“Such moment is eternity”—you are the one who taught me that

Firefly, brightly scorch my heart
Intensely and faintly, light up and dance
“Every time is a moment”—you are the one who taught me that

You are the one who answered me so
