The shadows are stretching out ahh to my heart,
the sneaky shadows curtaining the sun,
Exterior is dark, inside is quite empty,
they keep walking, and shadow us.
As we were saying that a bright day disappeared,
the shadows increase along with the grief of the night.
If only we stopped, and they wouldn’t stand out of the sunlight,
they would halt when we’d stop, and they would wait for us.
In fact, they are harmless one by one,
I don’t wish, don’t let them get together,
I don’t trust even my own shadow,
they would not represent us, they would change all the time.
I wish the bright mornings would increase,
I wish the shadows would shrink and become smaller
they would be present as long as we exist, they live with us,
the shadows without brain, mute, bizarre shadows.
I hope every corner would become bright,
Let the shadow not fall on the wise people.
let the light in glances shine all the time,
let the hope of tomorrows not be overshadowed.
