Sensitive Dream

kaze ni mai                    Birds, dancing in the wind,
jiyuu ni habataku              wings flapping, carefree,
toori yo oshiete               tell me! 

hito wa minna                  Are all people
kanashimi kakushite            concealing sadness
bishou n deru no?              behind their smiles?

nee kokoro ni                  Ah, but if a heart
tsubasa ga aa aru nara         has wings...
fuan sae                       even unease
yume                           is a dream... 

ima miageru                    Now, I look up; 
hateshinai sora no aoi hoshi   the blue star in an unending sky,
aa fushigi na                  oh, so wondrous  
yasashisa de ai o              and beautiful,
izanau no                      invites love.

asa tsuyu no                   Flowers, that have wiped away 
namida o nugutta               the tears of the morning dew,
hana yo oshiete                tell me! 

itsu no hi ka                  Will painful memories 
setsunai omoi mo               one day 
awaku somaru no?               fade away?

nee watashi wa                 Yes, I'll 
tabidatsu yuuki sae mo         start my journey.
wakaranai                      I know nothing of valor, 
demo                           but... 

ima mitsumeru                  Now, I gaze
anata no hitomi wa aoi hoshi   into your eyes  -  they are the blue star.
aa inoru no                    Oh  -  my prayed-for  
towa no shiawase               eternal happiness
itsu made mo                   forever and ever.

Liner Notes from Lunar Songs 1:
In the Mega-CD version of Lunar 1, this was the "Festival Song" in praise of
Althena, also included in Luna's dream where she becomes Althena herself.  
It was very exciting when I first saw the TV commercial.  [Note (or, rather,
Question): what's this "dream" of Luna's that this writer's talking about?  
Is it something in the Saturn version?  Something made especially for the 
aforementioned TV commercial?]  Even though this song was written four years
ago, it has (since then) become a "must" in the series.

Translation Notes:
About the whole metaphor of Arhes's/Ares's/Alex's eyes representing the Blue
Star (which in turn represents love)  -  this is another one of these 
phrases which doesn't translate well to English, since, in Japanese, the 
word "hoshi" can stand for either "star" or "stars".  Thus, in the song's
original language, where there's no problem with a singular/plural clash,
the star/eyes parallelism is seamless, but, in English, it's a little 
awkward to say that those _two_ eyes are this _one_ star.  I really can't 
put the lyrics any other way, though, so please just try to understand the 
context here.

Lines 9 and 10 have been amended for accuracy, but I'm still uneasy on them.
The exact nature of the use of "sae" in line 9 is troubling me; if anyone 
has any insight into if I should keep the new translation or restore the old 
one ("that is just unease, a dream"), e-mail me.
