Uruwashi no Nightingale
麗しのナイチンゲール
Beautiful Nightingale

Drifting afloat in a freshwater spring was the Moon and Star's dragée12
Found in the depths of a peacefully sleeping forest3
Wandering amidst the night breeze that shook the grove
We will sing with a fragile voice
Come, let us sing
(Tica-ling)
Towards the slowly brightening sky
(Tica-ling)
Of the zephyr of morning twilight and of the joys of life
How beautiful,
Ah Nightingale, ah Nightingale, with that singing voice
"Tica-linga-lira, Tica-linga-lira," so as to guide us
Ah Nightingale, ah Nightingale, let us sing together
"Tica-linga-lira, Tica-linga-lira," as the world awakens from its slumber
Lay aside that terror wrought by vulnerable dreams
From those days as a frightened child
Spent motionless and stagnant by the window, achingly waiting
For the salvation of light
Come, it is time
(Tica-ling)
Brush away your tears
(Tica-ling)
And enter a duet with birdsong, facing an endless horizon
It is budding,
Ah Nightingale, ah Nightingale, that inner strength
"Tica-linga-lira, Tica-linga-lira," transform it into hope
Ah Nightingale, ah Nightingale, let us live together4
"Tica-linga-lira, Tica-linga-lira," in this vibrantly prismatic world
Our cherished relationship that was scorched by fate—we will sacrifice it to eternity5
As an omen and a prayer for everything to ultimately be reborn with impartiality
In the pure morning
Nightingale, ah Nightingale, with that singing voice
"Tica-linga-lira, Tica-linga-lira," so as to guide us
Ah Nightingale, ah Nightingale, let us sing together
"Tica-linga-lira, Tica-linga-lira,"
As the world awakens from its slumber
Ah Nightingale, ah Nightingale, that inner strength
"Tica-linga-lira, Tica-linga-lira," transform it into hope
Ah Nightingale, ah Nightingale, let us live together
"Tica-linga-lira, Tica-linga-lira," in this vibrantly prismatic world
Play this song and make it resound throughout the land...6

1 I've found that 月星 can be associated with the ウグイス (Japanese bush warbler/nightingale), and 月星日 is sometimes described as the cry of an ウグイス.
2 The dragée, most commonly found as a Jordan almond, is a gift given or otherwise used as decoration at weddings to symbolize the happiness and prosperity of the married couple.
3 This line,「眠れる森の底で」, is similar to the title for Sleeping Beauty,「眠れる森の美女」.
4 "Living together" as in being alive and existing together.
5 "Cherished relationship" comes from 蜜月, which primarily means "honeymoon," but has a double meaning of "intimate relationship."
6 It is not literally "throughout the land," but rather "across a large distance."
