Come to me, my
Moon, my shining moon,
You alone are my life,
Moon, my shining moon!
Even if torn apart, it will not separate,
Our love will never die.
To break through every barrier ahead,
Make way for our bond.
Come to me, my
Moon, my shining moon,
You alone are my life,
Moon, my shining moon!
In every dream I see,
It is always you.
To make all my dreams come true,
Come to me, my darling!
In the blowing wind,
I have scattered like dust.
As my heart calls out to you from afar,
My soul aches in pain.
The sacred day when we unite
Will surely dawn.
Across all seven lifetimes,
Our living together
Can never be stopped!
Come to me, my
Moon, my shining moon,
You alone are my life,
Moon, my shining moon!
At the thought of separation in love,
My heart trembles in pain.
Just hearing about it,
Makes me hate the entire world.
Like fire across my whole body,
It burns inside me.
My eyes searching for you
Keep shedding tears.
Beside you, every single day,
I will follow like a shadow.
Bound like the body and the soul,
How we became one,
No one else knows.
Come to me, my
Moon, my shining moon,
You alone are my life,
Moon, my shining moon!
Even if torn apart, it will not separate,
Our love will never die.
To break through every barrier ahead,
Make way for our bond.
Come to me, my
Moon, my shining moon,
You alone are my life,
Moon, my shining moon!
