Shine, Little Star Lyrics English Translation by Stella Jang
How is it?
Does it feel like you touched a distant star?
Do you remember that night—
The dim dawn,
When you sighed so softly?
How about now?
Does your heart still feel the same?
I can’t gather the night
Anymore.
Even in a tiny, lonely room,
I could still dream.
Was I ever truly happy?
Maybe that star
Had already burned out long ago.
I was just watching the light of something that’s gone.
Maybe saying goodbye
Isn’t all that sad.
Nothing lasts forever—
Maybe it just left its light behind and disappeared.
Back then,
I thought if I gathered enough sleepless nights,
I’d finally reach that star.
But was that shining light
Ever really a star?
I still don’t know—
No, maybe I do, just a little.
I spent so long chasing that distant star
That I almost forgot myself.
Even when I face this endless night alone,
I can still shine.
Will I be happy?
Maybe that star
Was never really that bright.
I was just blinded by my own dream.
Maybe that star
Was telling me all along—
Even if it won’t last forever,
It burned to become my own guiding light.
