長い長い夜の下
Underneath a long long night
月飼いの少年は
A young moon keeper boy
ひとつ、ふたつ、星数え
Counted the stars: one, two
指に糸を掬びつけた
And he tied threads to the fingers
月ひとつ、ふたつ、みっつ
One, two, three moons
空に放り浮かべてる
He is throwing them to float
あかに あおに くるくると
To red, to blue, round and round
色彩(いろ)を変え 大地照らす
They change color, to light the earth
枯れた木々の枝に橙の灯滲む
The orange lights blur on the branches of withered trees
御終いになるまで
They will not stop blooming
少年は歌をうたい
The boy sing a song
指先と月が踊る
Then his fingertips and the moons dance
語り継ぐ物語を
In order to lure the stories to be handed down
やがてくる夜明けまで
Till the coming dawn
