LUNAR

yume no naka de wa yasashiku kiss o shita wa   In my dreams, I tenderly kissed you!
amaetai toki wa hoshi ni inori o kake          When I want to fawn on you, I'm offering a prayer to a star.
koi no mahou o anata ni tsutaetai no           I wish to acquaint you with the magic of love.
ai shite iru to kaze yo hayaku todokete        Wind, go and tell him quickly how I love him!

oshiete kimochi o                              Tell him my feelings!

mada konna ni mo furuete ru kono mune wa       My heart is still trembling so
kitto tabidatta anata no sei                   just because you left on a journey.

anata dake o omou no  hoshi no yoru wa         I think only of you; the starry night
sono aoi hitomi  itsu ka mita manazashi        seems those pale eyes, that glance I once saw.
kokoro hikarete yuku no wa guuzen na no        Are our hearts drawn together by chance? 
tooi mukashi kara koi suru sadame na no        Or was our love fated long ago?

kanjite terepashii                             Sense my telepathy!

tada hoshizora no ryuusei o mitsumete ru       I simply watch the shooting stars in the starry sky.

habatake                                       Flap your wings!

saa oozora ni ryoute o hirogete                Now, open wide your arms to the sky above.
kaze maiagare eien o isshun ni                 Wind, rise up; reduce eternity to an instant.
majikku kokoro wa anata no ude no naka         By magic, my heart will be in your arms.
ima kakete kite dakishimete                    Now, fly back to me, hold me,
kiss me                                        kiss me 

Liner Notes from Lunar Songs 2: 
Ah...what memories!  This was the title song to the Mega CD Lunar: The
Silver Star.  The lyrics seem kind of juvenile and embarrassing now... I 
intented to do the "first theme song for the Mega CD's first generation of
RPG software!", but the game's release was delayed, so it wasn't the first
after all.

Translation Notes: 

In general, I do try to stick to the Working Designs translation in the
back of the TSS manual when it does fit, but that isn't always the case.

Line 2 is awkward-sounding, but it's the best translation I can fathom 
considering the noun-form of "kakeru" ("kake"), and it's not entirely 
literal (that would be something like "offering a prayer to a star when I
want to fawn on you"  -  the noun-form makes the clause dependent, not 
independent, which is a problem).  "Fawn on" is not great, either, but the
song uses "amaeru", a word expressing a concept  -  "amae", dependent, 
childlike love  -  which really has no one-word equivalent in English.  "To
fawn on" is the closest verb we have to "amaeru".  The Working Designs 
translation has it as "play the coquette", which apparently is considered 
an acceptable translation of the term, but does not (at least IMO) really 
communicate the true idea of "amaeru", which is dependent and cloying and 
not fickle and flirtatious.

Also in line 2, while the word "hoshi" is sung and printed in furigana, the
word "chikyuu" (earth) is printed in its place, below the furigana, in the 
lyrics.  This suggests that the "star" mentioned in the line is the Blue
Star.

"Todokete" in line 4 literally means "send", and "ai shite ru to" means,
literally, "that I love (him)", but we cannot say in English "send to him 
that I love him".

Line 5 is a little tricky; it's not sure if Luhna is asking the wind, which
she addressed in line 4, to tell Arhes/Alex _her_ feelings, or if she's
asking Arhes to tell her _his_ feelings.  I chose the former option because
it seems more in-line with the rest of the lyrics.

Line 9 is also problematic.  The song is obviously sung from the point of 
Luhna about/to Arhes, and yet she likens the "starry night" to "sono aoi
hitomi"  -  "those blue eyes" or "those pale eyes".  Since she uses those,
the eyes aren't hers and are most probably Arhes's, and yet the game 
stresses that Arhes has green eyes.  I've thus used the "pale" meaning of
"aoi", and yet  -  would it make sense to liken a night sky to pale eyes?
(Sub-note: the booklet puts a space between "hitomi" and "itsu ka", so 
"sono aoi hitomi itsu ka mita" is most likely not mean to be one long 
clause.)

More on line 9: its sentence order could be inverted, in which case the 
line would read "on starry nights, I think only of you".  This would,
however, leave the subsequent line as a couple of noun clauses with nowhere
to go.  One could construe it so that they were meant to occupy the same 
"grammatical place", so to speak, as "you" in the previous line, making the
whole schlmiel "on starry nights, I think only of you  -  of those pale 
eyes, that glance I once saw".  While this looks just hunky-dory in 
English, though, this reading just isn't intuitive in the original 
Japanese, considering the syntax, so I've chosen the translation above.  

Final note: could line 5's "kimochi o" have been the inspiration for the 
"keep marching on" line in the English version?  It's placed in the exact 
same spot the English line was, and the singer's "reading", so to speak, of
"kimochi o" sounds nigh-exactly like "keep marching on" in the song.

Thanks to Janet for scanning the lyrics for me!  ^_^
(And thanks to everyone else for putting up with these über-long notes.)
