Following is my take on the ending song. I didn't choose to preserve the
order of words exactly in the translation, thus producing a song that makes
some sense in English. ;) The major problem that anyone will have in
translating this song is deciding what to do with "tsuzukou to." You'll see
what I ended up doing with it in a minute. The other big stumbling block is
the floating "yorokoberu hi o," which doesn't appear to have an associated
verb. I have chosen to link it up with "yume o ou n da." I'm pretty sure my
interprtation is accurate, but I wouldn't want it publically disseminated or
anything until I'm a little more confident about it. Of course, members of
this list may feel free to point out any objections they have to what I've
done.
Just a note: "chiribamu" means "to frame, mount, or inlay," and
"chiribamerareru" would thus be the passive form of the verb. I'm not sure
what you put in the translation at this point, but I remember you had
question marks on it. ^_^

"Cross the Bridge of Light"
In his heart, man collects
wondrously passionate tears.
"Let us continue the grave, futile battle
That blocks the road you travel," he says.
Don't kill your dreams. Do pursue your dream --
the day we can rejoice, with cheeks moistened
by tears reflecting the radiance of the distant galaxy.
Cross the bridge of light; lay bare your heart;
Cross the bridge of light; unshackle your tears and your love.
In his heart, man holds
a wondrously large love.
"Let us continue along the road you travel,
far into space's infinite darkness," he says.
Don't kill your dreams. Do pursue your dream --
the day of rejoicing, framed by love
That forever outshines the galaxy.
Cross the bridge of light; lay bare your heart;
Cross the bridge of light; unshackle your tears and your love.
