Been a while since I did this... a sing-along English version of Teppen Star. I know there's someone/other people already translating the lyrics, but I wanted to write an english version that you can sing along to it. And I don't want to get my Japanese go rusty. And because I need to use the song for one of my chapters, and using just the translation can't exactly do it. Also I tend to mentally conjure up english version of the song I might as well write it down.

What can you see? From the highest point that you could climb
The sight of the world that you could see, oh so big and wide
Who’s gonna save the world
There is no end, the limits of desire
The things that we want, each of them
Aren't they different, yet we fought for them; why?
This kind of spiral; let's, put an end to it

Teppen star, lonely survive
Just that one, that one alone
At the highest point of the sky
If you’re aiming for that one shining star
Hey everyone, when you make that one wish,
Let's look up towards that faraway star
Don’t ever let yourself be changed, don’t ever let yourself adrift
You are the last hope

What do you think? To worry just because it troubles you
If the world have been changed, then it should have changed
Is here your paradise?
Confront the reality of your world
Submission or annihilation?
Now, if it was you what would you do?
Let us find that third choice that we could take

Teppen star, lonely survive
Just that one person alone
End this battle, stop this dispute
If there's someone willing to be that key person…
To that wanderer that have lost his way
Go and look for that unchanging star
Don’t let yourself be confused, don’t let yourself be set astray
A lodestar, that's what you are

Teppen star, lonely survive
Just that one, that one alone
At the highest point of the sky
If you’re aiming for that one shining star
Hey everyone, when you make that one wish,
Let's look up towards that faraway star
Don’t ever let yourself be changed, don’t ever let yourself adrift
You are the last hope

* I left Teppen Star untranslated because of personal reason.
** Loadstar or also spelled lodestar refers to the polaris, or the north star. A guiding star.

Disclaimer: I don't claim my wording/translation is all accurate but I'll try to get it close enough
