^Sorry, I took a little longer getting to this than I expected.
It’s been a while since I’ve translated a song with Haruka’s lyrics – they’re calming.
You can either think of the “you”, as the people on the moon, or possibly Mokou; I haven’t read the 東方儚月抄s: “Silent Sinner in Blue”, “Cage in Lunatic Runagate”, or “月のイナバと地上の因幡” (Inaba of the Moon and Earth), so I’m not going to guess about those characters. ^^
My translation style was a little more “flexible” on this one, let me know if you like it.

月の光照らし続く 永遠の罪の夜
わずか見せた心でも 貴方に出会えない
Moonlight shines over this endless night of sin
Not even with my heart exposed can I see you
独りきりの今の場所は 貴方が与えたもの
この暗い心の闇 背負ったまま今も
Still here alone I carry
This darkness you gave me in my black heart
信じられず この心は 月の光 照らされても
月夜の闇 それが私 永久の罪は 拭われない
悲しくない 悲しくない 言い聞かせて 今でも
涙さえも 隠しきれぬ 夜
My heart is unbelievable, even in this moonlight
It is darkness, it is me; this eternal sin cannot be wiped away
“I’m not sad… I’m not sad…” I keep telling myself, even now
Tonight I cannot even hide my tears
１人残されたこの地で私は
もう帰る場所に届かぬと知って
雲が月を蓋う そんな夜には
貴方をまた恨んだ
Left alone upon this earth, I
Have no place in reach I can return to
As clouds cover the moon, on nights like this
I hate you again
月の光照らし続く 永遠の罪の夜
わずか見せた心には 貴方はもういない
Moonlight shines over this endless night of sin
Not even with my heart exposed can I see you
信じられず この心は 月の光 照らされても
月夜の闇 永久の罪は 貴方の罪？ 私の罪？
悲しくない 悲しくない 言い聞かせて 今でも
涙さえも 消えていった 夜
My heart is unbelievable, even in this moonlight
It is darkness, this eternal sin; Is it yours? Is it mine?
“I’m not sad… I’m not sad…” I keep telling myself, even now
Tonight even my tears have gone away
１人残されたこの地で私は
もう帰る場所に届かぬと知って
雲が月を蓋う そんな夜には
貴方をまた恨んだ
Left alone upon this earth, I
Have no place in reach I can return to
As clouds cover the moon, on nights like this
I hate you again
