「蛍」
この街では見えない星の方が多いんだ
でも見える星だってなにかに照ら されてるだけさ
でもオレはひとりでだって 輝いてみせるぜ
たとえ太陽がなくなっても僕が笑ってあげるよ
どんなにきれい に派手に輝けたとしても
誰かに照らされるなんていやだから
それなら少しでも。。。

"Hotaru"
kono machi de wa mienai hoshi no hou ga ooin da
demo mieru hoshi datte nanika ni terasareteru dake sa
demo ore wa hitori de datte kagayaite miseru ze
tatoe taiyou ga nakunatte mo boku ga waratte ageru yo
donna ni kirei ni hade ni kagayaketa to shite mo
dareka ni terasaeru nante iya dakara
sore nara sukoshi demo

"Firefly"
From this town, I can't even see the stars moving anymore (moving? I dunno)
But the stars I can see, light up everything
Although I'm now alone, I'm still gonna shine
I'll put on a smile even when the sun isn't out
No matter how brightly I shine...

Even if it's just a little bit.

It's the third ending for Hunter x Hunter. Almost all the romaji online is wrong, and you can't find the hiragana/kanji online at all... so I had to write it all down. If anyone could help me out with this, I'd be extremely grateful :D The current translated bit is what I've worked up from an old fansub and google translate, but I'm totally lost on the last bit. I'd rather you come up with a different translation and not work off what I have... since I did just sorta piece it together unknowing of things D:

There's kanji lyrics online... The translation not quite right at the first glance too... Give me some time and I will TL it...

Typo in transliteration:
terasaeru -> terasareru

Translation:
From this town, stars are mostly invisible
even the stars that can be seen are all just shone upon by something else (means that the stars aren't shine by themselves)
but even if I am the odd one out, I am gonna shine brightly
*this sentence is correct*
No matter how brilliantly, how flashy they shine
I don't wanna be shine upon by others
*This sentence is correct too*

Thank you, Futa <3

And yeah, the kanji is online on Japanese sites, but to find those I would need the kanji lyrics already >< If they were on some English site, I must have missed it. Animelyrics and other sites that google gave me only had the romaji... incorrect romaji.
