Kanji	Romaji	English
秋の雫が貴方の頬に憂いを落とし見えない月に願いをかけた愛しさが溶けるように	aki no shizuku ga anata no hou ni urei wo otoshi mienai tsuki ni negai wo kaketa itoshisa ga tokeru you ni	as a drop of autumn fell on your cheek, letting sorrow loose, i made a wish on the hidden moon that my love for you will fade away
きっと夢の中で貴方の微笑みに会えるそっとキスをしてよ消え行く九月の為に	kitto yume no naka de anata no hohoemi ni aeru sotto kisu wo shite yo kieyuku kugatsu no tame ni	surely i’ll be able to see you smiling in my dreams kiss me softly for the sake of the disappearing september
赤い小指のお話をまだ信じてた頃幼い星に願いをかけた夢のような恋をするの	akai koyubi no ohanashi wo mada shinjiteta koro osanai hoshi ni negai wo kaketa yume no you na koi wo suru no	when i still believed in the story of the red pinky finger i made a wish on a young star to fall in love like in my dreams
ねえ、きっと雨になるから雲が逃げるまでここにいて何も言わなくていいの歌って二人の為に優しく	nee, kitto ame ni naru kara kumo ga nigeru made koko ni ite nani mo iwanakute ii no utatte futari no tame ni yasashiku	hey, stay here until the clouds fade away because it will surely rain soon you don’t need to say anything just sing softly for the sake of us
[sonte atoso imia soltia diwo isolte iya tonoari wo aah]	[sonte atoso imia soltia diwo isolte iya tonoari wo aah]	[sonte atoso imia soltia diwo isolte iya tonoari wo aah]
見えない月に願いをかけた夢のような恋をするの	mienai tsuki ni negai wo kaketa yume no you na koi wo suru no	i made a wish to the hidden moon to fall in love like in my dreams
こんな秋の夜には昨日の微笑みに会えるそっとキスをしてね消え行く二人の為に優しく	konna aki no yoru ni wa kinou no hohoemi ni aeru sotto kisu wo shite ne kieyuku futari no tame ni yasashiku	on an autumn night like this i will be able to see the smiles of yesterday kiss me softly? for the sake of us as we disappear gracefully

oh, on a side note, the red pinky finger refers to the asian belief of the red sting of fate that connects soulmates. 🙂

Beautiful lyrics ^_^. Asides from that I just wanted to point that It reads better if you put “For our sake” than “For the sake of us” I’m not judging just saying… Don’t have to change anything. Anyways thanks for the lyrics and the translation. Have a nice day~

@Hishii I think that “for the sake of us” is more poetic than “for our sake”. Kajiura’s original lyrics are poetic too, so maybe the translator wanted the translation to sound more poetic too 😀

@ritardando . Now that I think about it what you say it’s true “for the sake of us” DOES sounds a lot more poetic!

Thanks for giving me your opinion now I like this song even more~ ♥♥♥
