Tabidachi no Jyokyoku
Prelude to the Journey
Closing theme to Season 2
Also available at LOGH Info Center
Won't you try talking,
with the just-born stars?
Amidst the timid glittering,
you should be moved by passionate thoughts.
Won't you try crossing,
the bravely flowing nebula?
When you are held against that bosom,
you should be moved by the profoundness of life.
Keep your heart clear, keep your ears open.
Listen to the prelude to your journey.
Kimi yo, katatte minai ka?
Umareta bakari no hoshitachi to
Ozuozu to shita kagayaki no naka ni
Kimi wa atsui omoi wo kanjiru hazu da.
Kimi wa watatte minai ka?
Ooshiku nagareru seiun wo
Sono futokoro ni dakareta toki ni
Kimi wa fukai inochi wo kanjiru hazu da
Kokoro wo sumase, Mimi sumase
Kimi no tabidachi no jyokyoku kiite miyou
君よ語ってみないか、
生まれたばかりの星たちと。
おずおずとした煌きの中に
君は熱い重いを感じる筈だ。
君は渡ってみないか
雄々しく流れる星雲を、
その懐に抱かれた時に
君は深い命を感じる筈だ。
心を済ませ、耳済ませ。
君の旅立ちの序曲聴いてみよう。
