LIKE ASKING FOR THE MOON (NAIMONO NEDARI)
lyrics: akiko hamada / music: yumi nakashima / translation: hana

No matter how much money I have, I won't run out of things to want
No matter how blessed I am, I won't run out of dissatisfactions
So that I won't think I want anything more
I want to cover my eyes and ears and mouth

I want to be satisfied with the words that come out from me as they are
I want to feel comfortable with what I believe in
So that nothing more will make me anxious
I want to cover my eyes and ears and mouth

Ê God, if you're really that great,
Ê Tell me how to live a comfortable life
Ê I don't want to feel anxiety or dissatisfaction or expectation or desire

Ê I just want to tread on the earth
Ê With these two legs

The more I know, the more I want to turn my eyes away
From the suspicious and lying reality and myself
So that nothing more will become unpleasant
I want to cover my eyes and ears and mouth

Ê God, if you're really that great,
Ê Tell me how to live a comfortable life
Ê I don't want to feel anxiety or dissatisfaction or expectation or desire

Ê I just want to tread on the earth
Ê With these two legs
