ONLY HOLY NIGHT | Romaji + English Translation
Disclaimer: I am studying Japanese and use this blog as one method to practice translation and learn new vocabulary. I’ve placed question marks by areas I’m unsure of, and I also include the original lyrics so someone can correct any mistakes. Thanks! I hope you all enjoy and can sing along, too!
Original Lyrics (Japanese + Romaji)
吐く息が白い駅のホーム haku iki ga shiroi eki no hoomu
最終便駆け込む列車に saishuubin kakekomu ressha ni
車窓からの景色は shasou kara no keshiki wa
移り変わり白銀の世界に utsurikawari hakugin no sekai ni
今宵恋人たちが集う koyoi koibito-tachi ga tsudou
年に一度きりの toshi ni ichodo kiri no
オリオン座が空から届けてる ORION-za ga sora kara todoketeru
White Snow (howaito snoo)
電話越しアイシテルだけじゃ届かない溢れる 想いがある denwa-goshi AISHITERU dake ja todokanai afureru omoi ga aru
月一回の会える日が楽しみでなんだって 頑張ってる tsuki ikkai no aeru hi ga tanoshimide nandatte ganbatteru

The train platform where your breath is white
Rushing to the last train
The view from the train window
Is a snowy world with the changing season
Tonight lovers/couples will meet
Orion delivers white snow from the sky
There are overflowing thoughts that can't be expressed by just saying "I love you" on the phone
I'm looking forward to our one day a month we meet, and I'll do my best
Every time we go to each other's cities
With just multiplying memories
Last year's surprise was matching necklaces
I check it in my pocket many times
This year too I'm your Santa Clause
With a little squeeze in my pocket
A Merry Christmas with just the two of us
Downtown with our hands together
The story we make while walking
(It/We) create(s) a miracle
We cuddle close together in the same spot as last year and looked up
It's the Pageant of Starlight (1)
Looking this beautiful is because
Transcending distance (?)
And see the light displays
I want us two to always spend time together
We will never separate/stay apart
You always kept believing in me
You always kept waiting for me
To this you, right at 8PM
I give you a treasured present
There are words I want to say to you
With all of this, let me love you
A Merry Christmas with just the two of us
(It/We) create(s) a miracle)
