〈Moon〉 is a song from the animation Turn A Gundam (∀ Gundam) (∀（ターンエー）ガンダム) (1999).
It's written and sung by Yoko Kanno (菅野 洋子; 菅野よう子 ) (aka Gabriela Robin).
Title: Moon Date: 1999 Singer: Gabriela Robin Lyrics: Yoko Kanno Music: Yoko Kanno
Origa (b1970) is a Russian singer, works mostly in Japan. She's a long-time friend of Yoko Kanno. She performed many songs written by Yoko Kanno.
This performance by Yoko at Cho-jiku-tanabata Sonic concert is significant. Because, the singer of many of Yoko's songs in past 2 decade are credited to a mysterious Gabriela Robin. Fans long suspected that Gabriela is Yoko, but Yoko always sidestepped it. (Yoko herself doesn't sing on stage) This is the first time she implicitly announced that she is Gabriela by sining a song she composed but is performed by “Gabriela”.

As with many of Yoko Kanno's songs, the lyrics is meaningless vocalizations, not of any language.
Another song from 〈Turn A Gundam〉 (episode 41 - 49), named 〈Moon's Cocoon〉 (月の繭; aka “Tsuki no Mayu”), which is the same tune, but with actual Japanese lyrics.
Title: Moon's Cocoon (月の繭; Tsuki no Mayu) Date: 1999 Singer: 奥井亜紀 (Aki Okui) Lyrics: 井荻麟 Music: Yoko Kanno
山の端 月は満ち 息づくあなたの森 夏草浴びて眠る 愛おしい横顔 おぼろなこの星 大地に銀の涙 マユたる蛹たちは 七たび身をかえる 青にLalalu Lalalu染まる、恋しい繭玉 揚げ羽の蝶になる やがて空を包む、無限のはね模様 いのちを輝かせよ あの月あなたなら 悲しみを写さずに 世の揺らぎ見つめて 嘆かずに飛んでみる 風にLalalu Lalalu唄え、はねに月うつし 揚げ羽の蝶になる 揺らぐ夜に生まれ、銀河をわたるの蝶よ 命輝かせよ 青にLalalu Lalalu染まる、恋しい繭玉 揚げ羽の蝶になる やがて空を包む、無限のはね模様 いのちを輝かせよ
