心の目と心の耳をすますこと、
そして自分を信じること

Please don't forget it.

to watch and listen to it with heart,
and to trust yourself.

宇宙の約束とつながって
本当のことに気がついた
すべてのものは どれもみんな 
その約束からできている

Once upon a time
someone watched and listened to it with heart,

でも 宇宙の何もかもが 
この約束からできている

ときには星を輝かせる

scattered in the universe
gather under the principle

降る雪だったかもしれないね
