Starry Night

On a starry night, a very bright one
We come out of homes and walk opposite sides of the streets
A starry night, when people wander,
Stubbornly locking their eyes on the tips of their shoes

We try to avoid each other's eyes
We try to avoid each other's eyes
We are afraid of each other's direct sights

Oh starry night, how can I keep you longer?
We lay aside our wealth, to make you the crown of our roof
Oh starry night, when each one wonders
How do we keep our feet directed away from home?

We try to evade all the ways home
We try to evade all the ways home
We choose paths that take us away from our homes

My lonely night, you bring solace.
You take away the fear of burden tied to happiness
Oh, shiny moon, clear like a torrent
Of honest tears that could never even come to life
Oh starry night, you bring relief
And let the shame of life wash over me
Oh starry night, let me close my eyes,
Give me space to breathe
Oh starry night, you bring relief
And let the shame of life wash over me
Oh starry night, let me close my eyes,
Give me space to breathe, and soothe me back to sleep

We roam through the night to go astray
We roam through the night to go astray
We choose paths that take us away from our homes

We try to avoid each other's eyes
We try to avoid each other's eyes

We try to avoid each other's eyes
We try to avoid each other's eyes
We are afraid of each other's direct sights
