Jpop Recommend #419 Betelgeuse by Yuuri

ベテルギウス Betelgeuse 
優里 Yuuri 

Released in November 2021, this song is his 8th single and only available through online streaming.

Betelgeuse is the tenth-brightest star in the night sky and, after Rigel, the second-brightest in the constellation of Orion (Wiki)

His hasky voice matches well with this song and I also enjoy watching the drama "SUPER RICH" which uses this song as theme song.  If you like this song, please try his another song like: 

#373 Dry flower by 優里 Yuuri
Bitter "失恋ソング (song for broken hearts)" about regrets and everlasting love
Recommended when you want to cry over lost love

First take version

Japanese pronunciation

English translation

空    に  ある 何か   を  見つめてたら 

sora ni aru nanika wo mitsumetetara

When I was watching something up in the sky

それ は   星    だって   君   が  おしえて くれた 

sore wa hoshi datte kimi ga oshiete kureta

you told me that it was called a star

まるで   それ  は  僕ら     みたい に 寄り添ってる 

marude sore wa bokura mitai ni  yorisotteru

Those stars were lined side by side just like you and me

それ を  泣いたり 笑ったり 繋いで    いく

sore wo naitari warattari tsunaide iku

and they build bond through tears and laughter

何     十回     何     百回     ぶつかり  あって 

nan-jyukkai nan-byakkai butsukari atte

Dozens and hundreds of times we crush into each other

何    十年       何    百年          昔         の   光     が 

nan-jyunen nan-byakunen mukashi no hikari ga

a light from tens and hundreds of years ago 

星       自身  も   忘れた      ころ  に 

hoshi jishin mo wasureta koro ni 

when a star itself has forgotten its light

僕ら     に 届いてる 

bokura ni todoiteru

the light reaches us finally

僕ら     見つけ  あって 手繰り あって 

bokura mitsuke atte taguri atte 

we look for and find each other

同じ    空 

onaji sora

under the same sky

輝く         の  だって 二人  だって 

kagayaku no datte futari datte

When we shine, we shall shine together

約束         した 

yakusoku shita

we promised

遥か     遠く   終わらない ベテルギウス 

haruka tooku owaranai Betelgeuse

never-ending light of Betelgeuse from far away

誰か     に  繋ぐ        魔法 

dareka ni tsunagu mahou

a magic that will be passed on to others

僕ら     肩     並べ    手  取り合って 

bokura kata narabe te tori-atte

we stand side by side holding each other's hand

進んでく 

susundeku

as we move on

辛い    時  だって 泣かないって 

turai toki datte nakanaitte

Even when we face difficulties, we won't cry

we promised, didn't we?

遥か       遠く 終わらない ベテルギウス

君     にも 見える だろう 祈り  が 

kimi nimo mieru darou inori ga

I wonder if you see my prayer

記憶   を   辿る    たび   蘇る         よ 

kioku wo tadoru tabi yomigaeru yo

As I trace back the memory it always reminds me 

君     が いつ だって そこ に 居て くれる こと 

kimi ga itsu datte  soko ni ite kureru koto

that you stand by my side any time

まるで    それ は    星     の   光    と   同じ ように

It is almost like a star light 

今日  に 泣いたり 笑ったり   繋いで     いく
