lyrics translaiton. 'Proud of You' by Shiina Hekiru ~ one of the most beautiful songs ever

I do consider this song as one of the best songs I have heard in my life. 90% times I hear it I cannot help crying because of the piercing voice of Hekiru, poignant melody and simple but deep lyrics. I love both the energetic and the slow versions of this song. and the story about the 'angel' is just blowing up my mind
lyrics written down by me and checked here, but since I prefer to divide lyrics according to music phrases, lines can differ

Japanese

月の雫を手のひらに集め
胸に注げば優しく透ける
青い傷痕 情熱の記憶
夢だけが武器のウォリアーズ

悲しみがただ降り続く街で
生きることさえ戦いだけど
眠りなさい 愛に身を委ね
激しさを閉じればいい

I'm proud 風の中で息を止め見てた 
永遠より長い夏を だからNever forget
雨に濡れた君のすぐそばに
天使がいた物語を

普通の石を光らせることが
恋の意味だと君は言ったね
眠りなさい そしてありがとう
愛しさが今目覚める

I'm proud君と触れるシリアスなキスが
宝石より美しくて だからBrand new days
君は笑う冗談のように
天使だった私のこと

I'm proud 風の中で息を止め見てた
永遠より長い夏を だからNever forget
雨に濡れた君のすぐそばに
天使がいた物語は続くの I'm proud of you
君と触れるシリアスなキスが
宝石より美しくて だからBrand new days
羽根を千切り人間になったの
Anyway… Proud of you


Translation

When I gather moon drops in my palm
And pour them onto my heart, they slightly show through
A pale scar, memories of passion
Only dream is the armed warriors

A town where only sadness is falling down –
Even living there is a battle, but
Sleep now, entrust yourself to love
You must shut your violence

I'm proud, in the wind I was looking without breathing
At the summer which was longer than eternity. So, never forget
A story about how, soaked in rainwater, right next to you
There was an angel

Making a simple stone shine
Is the meaning of love, you said
Sleep now, and thank you
Love is awakening now

I'm proud, touching with you in a serious kiss
Is more beautiful than a jewel, so brand new days
You laugh, as if it were a joke
That the angel was me

I'm proud, in the wind I was looking without breathing
At the summer which was longer than eternity. So, never forget
The story about how, soaked in rainwater, right next to you
There was an angel, which still continues. I am proud of you
Touching with you in a serious kiss
Is more beautiful than a jewel, so brand new days
Tearing off the wings, I became a human
Anyway… Proud of you
