The Place That Is You

Music

A song by Kohrogi-san, with English translation of lyrics

Shadow

Even the sun cannot light
the shadow that is yours alone.
Wherever you are,
that place becomes your place.

The sun watches your back
as you gaze into the shadow —
the moment when light and shadow meet:
the place that is you,
the place that is you.

Shade of trees,
moon-shadow, star-shadow, afterimage —
in that place, even the eyes
rest with the shadows.

If light has a sound,
then surely you have your own.
I can see the sound
of light and of you together —
that is your shadow,
the shadow of the place you belong.

Leaving behind
your human silhouette, gently,
the setting sun turns back
toward the place that is you,
the place that is you,
the place that is you,
the place that is you.
