I found a song by Ishida Yoko called “Negai”. I have been looking for an English version of the lyrics. However, I can’t seem to find any.
So, I have come here to ask for some help. Can someone translate the lyrics of that song to English?

I think you might find it hard to find a translator. I recommend going to an anime lyrics site or a fansite for the anime, composer or singer and contacting one of the translators. I did this once several years ago and found some help.
 
when I wake up one day
one day will be starting as usual
because it seems that the miracle is just every calm day
in your yawning, half-asleep face
this is the place my heart returns to, always

I just have one wish
pursue the same dreams as I do, anywhere
the feelings I have give me strength
so that tomorrow will again be happy
we’ll rest together when we’re tired of walking

even things like the tumbling rain are pleasant
with your bashful face
we’ll deal with both joyful and painful things one at a time when we’re together
the after-rain wind is blowing in the future’s sky

I just have one wish
gather the light reflected on the water’s surface
I think I can become the person I want to be
so that I’ll reach your heart again tomorrow

I just have one wish
pursue the same dreams as I do, anywhere
I just have one wish
gather the light reflected on the water’s surface
the feelings I have give me strength
so that tomorrow will again be happy

I found this on a forum. It seems pretty good if a little literal and some of the phrasing is awkward, but since I know some Japanese, it does seem like an ok translation of it as far as I can tell.

Thank you! 🙂
I like the translation. It’s quite poetic. 🙂
