“Beyond The Horizon” (Original 君をのせて– “Kimi-wo Nosete”)
The original song, “Kimi-wo Nosete”, was composed by Jo Hisaishi and the lyrics were written by Hayao Miyazaki, sung by Azumi Inoue, and another version sung by Tokyo Suginami-Ward Children’s Chorus Group.　(My song uploaded on YouTube this time is by the latter version, without refrain)
English lyrics were written by Hidekazu (Morris) Morishisma.

Beyond the horizon, I see a gleam of dawn.
Somewhere the flames of lights wave to us all to come.
I know why so warmly and kindly we are drawn
Toward that twinkling unknown star – that’s where my Father was!

Let us fill our backpack with a loaf of bread and a knife,
And an oil lamp and the Holy Stone that will be our guide!

(*refrain)
We’ll fly to Laputa, the Castle in the Sky,
With Father’s legacy and Mother’s love as wings.
Beyond the horizon, and through the clouds, we fly,
To the land where trees are green, and the birds so merrily sing.

We’ll fly to Laputa, the Castle in the Sky
Where we’d breathe with the summer winds, and weave with the winter lights!
