"Moonlight (or, music for you to sleep to)" Lyrics

I got my copy of Maaya's new album in the post yesterday, what a lovely surprise! I certainly did not expect it to come so quickly. I didn't have time to listen to it so I just went through now. There are some really good songs on. And reading the lyrics was so inspiring I decided to run off a translation.

The first time I listened to this song, I found the composition slightly less beautiful than the lyrics themselves. But listening through (three times, iTunes tells me) it really began to shine. It's a lullaby, and Maaya does have nieces(?) if I remember correctly, perhaps this is a song for them.


Moonlight 'Mata wa kimi ga nemuru ongaku'
Moonlight (or, music for you to sleep to)

Even when you grow up the future will always be in the future
There isn’t anyone who can teach you the things you really want to know, I’m sorry
The moonlight taps on the window
Countless wonders are waiting for you
Now close your eyes, goodnight

When you are in love, words all die away
One short kiss can solve the mysteries of the universe, it’s true
Don’t rush off, moonlight
Send your voice to the lover you’ve yet to meet
"Until we come across each other, goodbye"

The wind blew, blowing through my hair
And carried off my teardrop to the other side of the milky way where it disappeared from view

You will soon become an adult, it’s true
The moonlight taps on the window
Countless wonders are awakening inside of you
Now let’s quietly goodnight
Wonderful occurrences,
Undeniable tomorrows,
Are coming just for you
So until then goodnight
