"Supposing man is a creature
Who is always asking for the moon"
That line is grammatically correct and it makes sense to native English speakers. "Asking for the moon" is a commonly known saying. However, since Ayu did not specifically use the word "tsuki", I would have probably translated it as this:
"Supposing man is a creature
Who is always asking for things he can't have"
Masa, I'm impressed by you trying to incoporate english sayings in your translations.
