In the forest of emerald spires bathed in stillness
A radiant life descends on this quiet night
In the depths of your beautiful eyes
Lies the memory of a distant universe
Joy and sorrow, the ways of the world
You’ve known them all, yet remained untouchable
Kaguya, what dreams do you hold?
Embracing a fleeting illusion
Until the moment you return to the moon
A star born to be loved by all
Lies, wishes, sins, and prayers alike
All illuminated by the moon’s silver glow
Voices of nobles calling out to you
Your delicate heart sways like a fragile flame
Even treasures piled high at your feet
Cannot fill the emptiness within
You, who hold eternal life
Is knowing love itself a sin?
Kaguya, your tears silently fall
As you gaze at the distant sky
Until the moment you return to the moon
This unyielding love will remain undimmed
Hope and solitude, dreams and farewells
Entrusted to the light of the moonlit tale
Kaguya, I will never forget you
Even your too-brilliant, untouchable smile
Holding love and parting close to my heart
I still look to the sky, thinking of you
The wind whispers through the forest grove
As if your shadow lingers in its dance
Only the moonlight remains
To guide your way back home
