This song is not in Japanese, but the Japanese "translation" is in the CD booklet. It's actually in a made-up language. Yoko Kanno seems to love blending aspects of different languages and adding new elements in order to come up with a new, made-up language. There are songs with lyrics in a made-up (nonsense) language in almost all of the series she's done music for, including Macross Plus and Escaflowne.

This song is only in the Macross Plus "movie edition" (U.S.), during Sharon Apple's "flight" through the city during a concert.
[1] "Anata no kuchi kara" literally means "(what comes) from your lips," but I interpreted it as "(what) you say."
