1.Under the clear sky, gently—step, come on!2.
3.Right now, on this stage where everyone’s the star
4.There must be rules to dance well, I guess…5.
6.Even if I try to stretch and pick oversized shoes
7.They just feel awkward, and I can’t help but laugh8.
9.Trying to act grown-up doesn’t suit me at all
10.I’m a stubborn little étoile
11.Let’s cast off this ill-fitting version of ourselves and just dance!
12.Don’t stop now, feel the rhythm
13.Skipping a beat here and there on a whim
14.Floating lightly in the clear sky
15.Step, step with me16.
17.The days repeat, like an endless hall of mirrors
18.No matter how far I go, it feels like I’ll never change19.
20.But don’t forget—even if we keep the same tempo
21.We’ll fall out of sync little by little, and that’s okay22.
23.Acting all proper doesn’t suit me at all
24.I’m a fickle metronome
25.Forget the beat that someone else set, and just dance!
26.Like a great actor in an old film
27.Folding up his umbrella as he sings
28.Let the rain pour down—get drenched, it’s fine
29.Step, step, singing with me30.
31.Even if you or I weren’t here
32.The world would still keep turning, wouldn’t it?
33.So why worry about it?34.
35.No matter where I go, I just don’t seem to fit
36.A rootless étoile
37.If I can’t blend in anywhere
38.Then I’ll shine brighter than anything39.
40.Trying to act grown-up doesn’t suit me at all
41.I’m a stubborn little étoile
42.Let’s cast off this ill-fitting version of ourselves and just dance!
43.Don’t stop now, feel the rhythm
44.Skipping a beat here and there on a whim
45.Floating lightly in the clear sky
46.Step, step, singing with me
47.Could you step with me?
