Song of Shadow Comparison

かげくらべの唄 (kage kurabe no uta)

No matter where I go,
どこへ行こうとも
doko e ikou tomo
If I look around, faintly
見渡せば微かに
miwataseba kasuka ni
The color of your hair and eyes
髪や目の色は
kami ya me no iro wa
Is your shadow beside me.
あなたの影法師
anata no kagebōshi

Chasing that distant back,
追う遠い背
ou tōi se
A love that shines bright at dawn.
確かな愛 照らす夜明け
tashika na ai terasu yoake

I’m right here, I’m right here,
側にいるよ 側にいるよ
soba ni iru yo soba ni iru yo
Even as time passes and fades away,
時が経ち色褪せても
toki ga tachi iroase temo
What we've carved stays behind,
刻んだまま残されていく
kizanda mama nokosarete iku
I’ll walk on, ahead of our path.
軌跡の先 歩くよ
kiseki no saki aruku yo

You, who can share
心の片割れを
kokoro no kataware wo
The half of my heart,
分かち合える人よ
wakachi aeru hito yo
Like something that’s passed down,
継がれゆくものの様に
tsugare yuku mono no you ni
We’re tied together, strong.
強く結ばれていく
tsuyoku musubarete iku

When I take your hand,
手をとれば
te wo toreba
Our love deepens, shining at dawn.
深まる愛 照らす夜明け
depamaru ai terasu yoake

I’m right here, I’m right here,
側にいるよ 側にいるよ
soba ni iru yo soba ni iru yo
Even as time passes and fades away,
時が経ち色褪せても
toki ga tachi iroase temo
What we've carved stays behind,
刻んだまま残されていく
kizanda mama nokosarete iku
Watching over the path ahead.
軌跡の先 見守るように
kiseki no saki mimamoru you ni

From the darkness, tomorrow breaks through,
暗闇から明日が差し込んで
kurayami kara ashita ga sashikonde
Holding onto this warmth.
この温もりを手にして
kono nukumori wo te ni shite

I’m right here, I’m right here,
側にいるよ 側にいるよ
soba ni iru yo soba ni iru yo
Even as time passes and fades away,
時が経ち色褪せても
toki ga tachi iroase temo
No matter where you are, or what you do,
どこにいようと 何をしようと
doko ni iyou to nani wo shiyou to
It feels like we’re still connected.
繋がっているように
tsunagatte iru you ni

I’m right here, I’m right here,
側にいるよ 側にいるよ
soba ni iru yo soba ni iru yo
Even as time passes and fades away,
時が経ち色褪せても
toki ga tachi iroase temo
What we've carved stays behind,
刻んだまま残されていく
kizanda mama nokosarete iku
I’ll walk on, ahead of our path.
軌跡の先 歩くよ
kiseki no saki aruku yo
