[English]

Shadow Shadow

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow

Ha, Rainy and Cloudy, no light

Dark days and nights, you left me behind

Maybe from that moment on

Perhaps my very existence disappeared

Back in the day, with sunny weather

Bright lights

I was always by your side

I was there, I

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Give me the light, light, light

You are my sunrise

Without me, I am nothing

You’re my last, you're my end

Forever, you’re my last

Even if you’re flames, I’ll run into them

Darken the sky of you and me with that goodbye

Please erase it quickly

So I can’t approach anymore

So I can’t look at you

I want to stay by your side

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Yearning desperately

I want to go back to those dazzling days

Always together like a shadow

Your beautiful smile was shining on me

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Early in the morning

Today again, the sun is hiding

The light has disappeared, carrying you with me

Far in the distance

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Give me the light, light, light

You are my sunrise

Without me, I am nothing

You're my last, you're my end

Forever, you're my last

Even if you’re flames, I’ll run into them

Darken the sky of you and me with that goodbye

Please erase it quickly

So I can't approach anymore

So I can’t look at you

I want to stay by your side

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Yearning desperately

I want to go back to those dazzling days

Always together like a shadow

Your beautiful smile was shining on me

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Erase, erase, forget, wipe away

Now, I hate, despise

Fall, fall, falling down, faded, faded, faded

I'm not a vampire, not a night ghost

In the darkness, I gasp and call your name

Waiting for us to be together again

Cause a shadow shadow shadow

Oh, forgetting you means

That I myself will be erased

Darken the sky of you and me with that goodbye

Please erase it quickly

So I can’t approach anymore

So I can’t look at you

I want to stay by your side

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Yearning desperately

I want to go back to those dazzling days

Always together like a shadow

Your beautiful smile was shining on me

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

...

[Korean]

Shadow Shadow

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow

Ha, Rainy Cloudy No light

Darkness day N Night 너 떠나버린

그때부터 어쩌면

Maybe 내 존재 자체가 없어졌지

Back in the day 화창한 날씨

화려한 불빛

항상 네 곁에 있었지

내가 있었지 내가

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Give me the light light light

You are ma ma ma sunrise

너 없는 난 아무것도 아냐

넌 내 마지막 You're my last

언제까지나 You're my last

네가 불길이라도 난 뛰어들게

너와 나의 저 하늘을 검게

물들인 저 이별을 어서 지워줘

더 이상 내가 다가갈 수 없게

너를 바라볼 수 없게

네 곁에 머물고 싶어

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow

간절하게 원하고 있는데

눈부셨던 그때로 나 돌아갈래

그림자처럼 항상 함께였던

아름다운 네 미소가 날 비추던

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow

Early in the morning

오늘도 역시 The sun is hiding

빛은 사라졌지 널 데리고서

저 저 멀리로

Cause I'm shadow shadow shadow

Give me the light light light

You are ma ma ma sunrise

너 없는 난 아무것도 아냐

넌 내 마지막 You're my last

언제까지나 You're my last

네가 불길이라도 난 뛰어들게

너와 나의 저 하늘을 검게

물들인 저 이별을 어서 지워줘

더 이상 내가 다가갈 수 없게

너를 바라볼 수 없게

네 곁에 머물고 싶어

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow

간절하게 원하고 있는데

눈부셨던 그때로 나 돌아갈래

그림자처럼 항상 함께였던

아름다운 네 미소가 날 비추던

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow

Erase erase 잊어 지워

이젠 이젠 싫어 미워

Fall fall fallin' down faded faded faded

I'm not a vampire not a night ghost

어둠 속에 흐느껴 네 이름 부르고

우리가 다시 함께 하기를 기다려

Cause a shadow shadow shadow

Oh 너를 잊는다는 건

나 역시 지워진다는 걸

너와 나의 저 하늘을 검게

물들인 저 이별을 어서 지워줘

더 이상 내가 다가갈 수 없게

너를 바라볼 수 없게

네 곁에 머물고 싶어

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow

간절하게 원하고 있는데

눈부셨던 그때로 나 돌아갈래

그림자처럼 항상 함께였던

아름다운 네 미소가 날 비추던

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow

Because I'm a shadow shadow shadow
