Kimi o nosete (Carrying you) 
"Tenku no Shiro Laputa" ending theme 


ano chiheisen  kagayaku no wa           The reason the horizon shines
dokoka ni kimi o kakushite iru kara     is that somewhere it's hiding you.
takusan no hi ga natsukashii no wa      The reason I long for the many lights
ano doreka hitotsu ni  kimi ga iru kara is that you are there in one of them.
saa   dekake you  hitokire no PAN       So, I set out, with a slice of bread,
NAIFU  RAMPU  kaban ni tsumekonde       a knife, a lamp, stuffed in a bag.

* tou-san ga nokoshita  atsui omoi      Father left me his burning desire.
  kaa-san ga kureta  ano manazashi      Mother gave me her eyes.
  chikyuu wa mawaru  kimi o kakushite   The earth turns, hiding you.
  kagayaku hitomi  kirameku tomoshibi   Shining eyes, twinkling lights.
  chikyuu wa mawaru  kimi o nosete      The earth turns, carrying you,
  itsuka kitto deau  bokura o nosete    carrying us both who'll surely meet.

* Repeat
