Before Moonrise Lyrics English Translation – Standing Egg

(Verse 1)
In a quiet, dusty downtown lane,
I saw you standing there.
Our eyes met, just by chance—
I swear I stopped breathing in the air.

I gathered every bit of courage I could hold,
And soon our stories softly, slowly, started to unfold.
We walked together as the evening turned to blue;
The city and these streets were made for me and you.

(Chorus)
I have to leave,
Oh, but it’s love.
I’ll board the train before the moon rises above.
We both know how the other’s heart beats true,
Still, I must go the way I was meant to—without you.

(Verse 2)
Someone I connect with just like you…
It’s my first time feeling this.
I know I won’t be able to forget your face,
I’ll carry this sweet sadness like a quiet grace.

(Chorus)
I have to leave,
Oh, but it’s love.
I’ll board the train before the moon rises above.
We both know how the other’s heart beats true,
Still, I must go the way I was meant to—without you.

(Bridge)
Standing on the platform, just us two,
A final, whispered, short goodbye.
You are Berlin, I am Marseille—
Different skies beneath which we must lie.

(Outro)
Leaving, me and you…
Me and you…
You.
