English translation Before morning came, I turned the map to the vanished stars into a song for you And entrusted it to the people at the ends of the earth Hurry, oh ship! The west still lies in the middle of eternity Looking out from my sleep, I see that the cosmos is dreaming of you I counted the things between us that won't change And driven by our promise, I crossed countless bridges The stars that vanished that day are now reflected on the river's surface Oh water, rise up and spill over! Submerge me and bring me towards you. Someday, let's look up into the sunlight and, on the day when the vanished stars reappear, Let's sing that map-song that I entrusted to the people at the ends of the earth Sing "Because I am you!" Sing "Because I am you!" Before morning came, I turned the map to the vanished stars into a song for you And entrusted it to the people at the ends of the earth Hurry, oh ship! The west still lies in the middle of eternity Looking out from my sleep, I see that the cosmos is dreaming of you
