Lyrics (Japanese):

Yami no kanata
Hikari no todokanu hate ni Ima mo hitori
Kodoku na tabi o tsuzuketeiru.
Koware yuku kono hoshi ni
Koutetsu no kokoro wa
Hitori wakare o tsugete
Hikari yori hayaku
Toki no nagare o sakanoboru
Hoshi ga umare
Yagate shinu koto o shitta
Soshite hitori
Eien ni te ga todoku koro.
Zetsubou yori tsumetaku
Fukai yami no naka ni
Aoi hoshi ga umarete
Shizuka ni hikatta.
Aa, kono toki o tsutaetai!
Aa, dareka ni tsutaetai!

Lyrics (English Translation):

At the far reaches of darkness,
The limits where light does not reach,
Now, too, alone,
Continuing a solitary journey.
On this disintegrating star,
Hearts of steel Informing us of this single parting--
Faster than light. It climbs upstream in the flow of time.
A star was born And, by and by, knew death;
And then, alone,
A hand reaches out forever.
Colder than despair In the midst of deep darkness,
A blue planet was born And shed its light silently.
Ah, I want to tell of this time!
Ah, I want to tell someone!
