here is my attempted translation: 

you even thought that you did put an end to my life that morning... 
it appears that I have underestimated...you 

ah if I am a work of failure 
haven't you already noticed it isn't complete? 

pure you, you are just planting seeds of ruin in the earth 
showing a wonderful smile 
fascinated by guiltless death 

ah forever people continue waiting 
so if fed up, the ice age's reset 

*desire now guides this hand 
I'll show you I'll blow out that deceitful brightness 
even if that power appears defiled 
I wave the flag of truth over my head! 

into the cool closed world you have been dropped 
you shall taste the constant pain

the silent raining sounds stimulates my feelings  
humming along the street, i think about you 
Ah~ in brilliant colours,  
i swing my umbrella in the street that i always walk in 
And as usual i return with heaps of questions  

Suddenly, i stop to look up to the sky above 
drop by drop, the rain glitters 

always raining in my heart,  
i'm embraced gently in the rain that you love 
the wonderful song is still playing till now 
I'm just singing in the rain... with you 

everytime i detour i'll let out a sigh 
i guess there is no other way to do it 

then the rain stopped for you 
ah~ and this day, time will be awakened 

always raining in my heart, 
i'm embraced gently in the rain that you love 
the wonderful song is still playing till now 
I'm just singing in the rain... with you 

always raining in my heart, 
i'm embraced gently in the rain that you love 
continuing and continuing and non-stop 
wanting to take you along 
more and more and non-stop 
wanting to embrace you 
because my heart will not die...

My feelings are filled with the performance of time, 
With a clear voice, the endless future continues to

My heart is honestly fragile.  
Everybody around me is breaking.  
Suddenly, in the sudden rain, although you 
stopped again.  You still believe in me.

Higher than everybody else.  Close to the sky. 
I am close to something bright and shiny.  
I wished for light. 
If I were burning, I will be o.k. 
Everything is accompanying the truth.

But I still think of you, 
even if the season is coming to an end. 
It has rained many times but now it has stopped. 
It looks like the scene which I always watched with 
my eyes closed.

The person in pain. The dream which never comes true. 
Why does love have to be born in my chest? 
The flowers that are blossoming are sinking back into the ground.

So sorry if my translation is weird! (Lorraine^o^) 

when starry night I want to meet you 
not waiting for dawn I sneak out of town 
you under the moonlight...... still 

days, merrily walking that time 
maze, felt like it was going on forever 

why deep in eyes are you lost, going by a roundabout way? 
look, if you open your heart's door soon you will meet me 

overflowing thoughts carried away by the wind 
I vowed not to give up until at that place 
embraced by the falling stars......you and me 

lies, there's no reason that that time would be a lie 
eyes, close your eyes, only by reminiscing can you escape 

but even if here nothing will change 
so, what's important isn't the past, it's the shining future 

overflowing thoughts carried away by the wind 
a little hesitant to step forward 
now not lost anymore 
when starry night I want to meet you 
not waiting for dawn I sneak out of town 
you under the moonlight...... all the time

my attempted translation: 

unable to sleep, I look up at the window's moon... 
if I think about that day 
on the stairway to the sky, I walked each step one by one 
there is nothing, no matter how far I've looked, that I'm certain of 
but in joyful times and bad times, you were by my side 

onto the ship without a map floating to the darkness 
to tomorrow continuing to shine just like that star 

*in my heart from someday on it will shine 
because you are here 
even until all of my tears dry, so precious 
because you are here 

even if a stormy night is expected, 
even if the sun collapses, it doesn't matter 

even if impatience is in the way and I can't really speak well 
even if there is no end I keep on walking 

*repeat 

to your heart 
to your heart 
to your heart I need your love and care
