Moon Revenge

Sung by Peach Hips

This song is the closing theme used in the actual Sailor Moon R movie (Sub tapes and DVDs use it).
There are two versions of the song. I don't know who sings one of them, but Peach Hips, who sings the one you probably know, is the collective name for the Japanese Sailor Soldier voices.
My translation is based on a direct translation and adheres to it as much as it can, but it has a neat twist: it actually looks like an American song, and you can actually sing it!

Original Japanese: English Translation:
yatto tadoritsuita ai nigirishime
chiisa na nemuri ni yasuragu hito
tojita mabuta ni sayonara kuchizukete
toki no hanazono ni anata okizari ni shita

ai wa yume no mama dewa tsuzukanai
musaboreba utsukushii shikabane sore demo

nozomu no nara oikakete kite
ano kuchizuke wa akai TATTOO
sadame no yokoku kizamu TATTOO
watashi ni nara hitome de wakaru
kuchibiru gata ni itamu TATTOO
kakusenai wa anata
IT'S MOON REVENGE

tami ni tojikomerarete mo mikareau
aura wa kesenai tajiroganai
sukete meiteru wakare de moenagara
tsugi no meguriai mo mata anata ga ii to

ai wa fukaku naru hodo yokubari de
toiki sae shibaritai reason sore demo

hikari no uzu noboritsumeteku
akai kioku wa doku no TATTOO
mirai no chaos shimesu TATTOO
futari de nara kudakechiru made
kuchibiru gata ni itamu TATTOO
daita mama de ii wa
IT'S MOON REVENGE

nozomu no nara oikakete kite

IT'S MOON REVENGE
 As I arrive at last, I hold onto the love of my life
A man resting so gently: a slumber so light
My lips upon your eyes, I give a kiss and wish you goodbye.
Within that garden of time, I find myself leaving you behind.

If this love is only in our dreams, then never will it come true.
But when desire is strong, you can never go wrong. Even that beautiful form will do.

If it's your desire, then come and pursue me.
That kiss of mine is upon you like a tattoo.
Inscribing pages of destiny, that tattoo.
Just one glance and I'll know; you can't hide it from me.
It's in the shape of my lips: that painful tattoo.
Oh no, it's no use to hide it.
It's Moon Revenge.

They call out for each other although the darkness envelops them all.
But their auras glow in the night, never to fade or fall.
I see through all your parting words; my fire is burning inside.
Oh how I long for it to be you to once again be the one at my side.

It's just the deeper that it gets, this love, I need it more and more.
Every sigh I'll hold tight. Yes, I know it's not right, but I don't care about it anymore.

This luminous vortex climbs onward and onward.
That deep red memory is a poison tattoo.
A sign of chaos is burning in that tattoo.
When we are together 'til our lives split forever,
It's in the shape of my lips: that painful tattoo.
Oh please, just keep me in your arms now.
It's Moon Revenge.

If it's your desire, then come and pursue me.
That kiss of mine is upon you like a tattoo.
Inscribing pages of destiny, that tattoo.
Just one glance and I'll know; you can't hide it from me.
It's in the shape of my lips: that painful tattoo.
Oh no, it's no use to hide it.
It's Moon Revenge.
