As I mentioned in another thread, I've long sought out the lyrics and a translation to the ending theme song from GAMERA 3, sung by Juliana Schano. It's commonly listed as "Tell Me Once Again", but I think it better translates to "Show Me Once Again". I've never had any luck finding it in any forums or anywhere online, but I know lots of people have also been looking for it. Fortunately, I just managed to get ahold of the CD single from 1999, and the lyrics were printed on the inside cover.
So far, I've managed to transcribe the kanji, and been able to work up a rough romanji version, and an even rougher English translation (figurative song lyrics are hard!). Before I start work on a "tribute" page on the web, I wanted to post them here and get input on the translations from those with better skills than I have. Any help will be much appreciated, and I'll be sure to credit you on the site when the time comes. So here we go:

もういちど教えてほしい
もういちど 出来るなら ここにもどって あの姿を
カが尽きても 倒れそうでも 届かなくても また走り出す
見ていてね そして教えてほしい かぎりない 勇気を
つらく かなしい時 苦しく 泣きたい時
なつかしい うたでえが きこえてくるよ
All of my dream 空が別れを告げている
All of my dream こらえきれず ほとばしるおもい
もういちど 出来るなら ここに戻って あの姿を
こころの翼が 折れて傷つき 嵐が来ても 空へ飛んでゆく
見ていてね そして教えて欲しい 果てしない 世界を
All of my dream 朝まで星を数えていた
All of my dream あしたからはひとりきりになるの
もういちど 出来るなら ここに戻って あの姿を
強く大きな 音を聞かせて 声がなくても きっと思い出す
見ていてね そして教えてほしい 終わらない 未来を

Show Me Once Again
Come back as you were, once again if you can.
Although you are tired, seeming to fall,
You start again even though you can't finish.
I see you and want you to show me endless courage.
When you are in pain and are sad,
When you want to cry out,
I hear your song, dear
All of my dreams, the sky says farewell to you
All of my dreams, your impossible desire to finish endures and flows forth.
Come back as you were, once again if you can.
You fly to the sky through the storm
Although the wings of your spirit are broken,
I see you and want you to show me a world that is eternal.
All of my dreams, the stars are numberd until morning
All of my dreams, there will be only one by tomorrow.
Come back as you were, once again if you can.
Your sound is loud and strong,
I will remember it even if you have no voice.
I see you and want you to show me a future that never ends.
