From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Make a Wish is the ending theme for the English dub of Jirachi: Wish Maker. It is the English equivalent of A Small Thing. Early in the movie, May tells Ash and Brock that her mother used to sing it to her as a lullaby when she was a little girl, and then she sings it to Max. During the ending credits, a full version of the song is played with lyrics in both English and Japanese. This is the first time that the English dub left original Japanese lyrics in the song.
The Japanese lyrics are performed by Asuca Hayashi, and the English lyrics are performed by Cindy Mizelle and written by Norman J. Grossfeld.

Translation
|
When daytime turns to night
When the moon shines bright
When you're tucked in tight
When everything's all right
Slip softly to that place
Where secret thoughts run free
And there come face to face
With who you want to be
|
So swim across the ocean blue
Fly a rocket to the moon
You can change your life
Or you can change the world
Take a chance
Don't be afraid
Life is yours to live
Take a chance
And then the best is yet to come
|
Make a wish
It's up to you
Find the strength inside
Then watch your dreams come true
You don't need a shooting star
The magic's right there in your heart
Close your eyes
Believe
And make a wish
|
小さきもの それは私
私です まぎれなく
鏡の中 心細さだけが
誰にも負けない 明日になるよ
|
Chiisaki mono sore wa watashi
Watashi desu magirenaku
Kagami no naka kokorobososa dake ga
Dare ni mo makenai ashita ni naru yo
|
The small one is me
We are each other
Looking in the mirror with just this helpless feeling
A tomorrow will come where I won't lose to anyone
|
そしてわたしは 幼い頃に
少しずつ戻ってゆく
意味も知らず歌う 恋の歌を
誉めてくれた あの日に
|
Soshite watashi wa osanai koro ni
Sukoshizutsu modotte yuku
Imi mo shirazu utau koi no uta wo
Homete kureta ano hi ni
|
Like that, I return to my childhood
Little by little
To the days where you praised me for singing
The love songs which I didn't know the meaning to
|
空をあおげば
満ちてくる わたしの声が
さらさら 流る 風の中で君も
ふわり 舞い上がれ
|
Sora o aogeba
Michite kuru watashi no koe ga
Sarasara nagaru kaze no naka de kimi mo
Fuwari maiagare
|
When I look up at the sky
My voice becomes full
In the wind that flows like a river
You should fly up
|
声が聞こえる
ゆくべき道 指さしている
さらさら流る 風の中でひとり
わたし うたっています
|
Koe ga kikoeru
Yuku beki michi yubi sashite iru
Sarasara nagaru kaze no naka de hitori
Watashi utatte imasu
|
I can hear the voices
They point to the road which I must go
In the wind that flows like a river
I sing alone
|
Ooh
I've always hoped for happiness
And finally fulfilled my wish
'Cause I just need
To see you smile
|
空をあおげば
Make a wish
It's up to you
満ちてくる 私の声が
Watch your dreams come true
さらさら 流る 風の中で君も
The magic's right there in your heart
ふわり 舞い上がれ
Believe
|
Sora o aogeba
Michite kuru watashi no koe ga
Sarasara nagaru kaze no naka de kimi mo
Fuwari maiagare
|
When I look up at the sky
My voice becomes full
In the wind that flows like a river
You should fly up too
|
Make a wish
It's up to you
Find the strength inside
Then watch your dreams come true
You don't need a shooting star
The magic's right there in your heart
Close your eyes
Believe
And make a wish
|
Ooh
Make a wish...
