Tsuki no Ie - Outlaw Star ending (english version)

Outlaw Star's second ending theme, "Tsuki no Ie," english lyrics and vocals by me. :)

To be honest, despite what an old series Outlaw Star is, I never got into it until last year per a friend's recommendation. It's classic anime at some of its best, I must admit -- I love how quirky all of the characters are! Melfina's my favorite, and I always kind of associate this song with her, so I chose her for the video image.

"Tsuki no Ie" is just a gorgeous song, so I wanted to attempt a solid English translation. I'm actually really satisfied with how these lyrics came out; I tried my best to stay faithful to the original meaning, and I think the outcome worked well! I used the official karaoke track, which already included some of the vocal ambiance, so I'm a little bummed I couldn't experiment more with that, but oh well -- no way around that! I still had a lot of fun with it, so I hope you enjoy!

[[ LYRICS: ]]

Somewhere across the night sky
I can hear a voice from afar,
All you long for, all your desires
Fuel the magic and the light of the stars

I could not imagine
A world without your dreaming,
When you gaze upon me
I believe in love, so I'd like to see you through

Tucked away inside my heart
A fragile moon resides, reflecting all these feelings,
I only hope its light illuminates your path
So that you may walk on forever

When you are lost and wandering
Lift your eyes and look up above,
There's a soft glow beyond the shadows
That will light the way and cease every woe

I will try to guide you
Remaining still beside you,
You'll be safe from darkness,
Come away with me, I'll answer your plea

As you slumber through the night,
The stars and I will watch, protecting you from nightmares,
And dear I swear it's true -- no harm will come to you
As long as I'm here and we're together

Tucked away inside my heart
A fragile moon resides, reflecting all these feelings,
I only hope its light illuminates your path
So that you may walk on forever

Shear beauty at it's finest

I remember that the galactic leyline asked Gene Starwind what was his wish, his desire, And his answer was Melfina, He didn't ask for fame or riches or glory, He wanted melfina, That brought tears to my eyes.

@kurbyboy101 Wow, that's a really nice way to put it. If you could tell, I was being sarcastic. If you don't like how she sings, keep your rude opinions to yourself.

The way it cut in and out at the beginning was weird... but as soon as the voice came on, it was great!
