Tenku no shiro laputaLaputa ending song lyrics
Kimi o nosete (Carrying you) 
"Tenku no Shiro Laputa" ending theme (1986)

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
