English translation

The light showers on me
while I step, deliberately, on the shadows

The one-way [1]
endless
road     continues on

What are you seeking right now?
What can you hear right now?
Tears and smiles     meetings and partings
Recurring     over and over

Alone[2], down my
solitary, endless
road,     I continue

I close a black umbrella
seal off the sadness     into my heart
Floating on a white cloud
I can fly     higher     higher

When tomorrow comes
The wind will stop     and the rain will end
The shadows will recede
Light will shine

Fumbling,
I emerge
from the center of light and shadow

Japanese

光を浴びて
影を踏みしめ

一度きりの
果てしない
道が 続く

今何を求めて
今何が聞こえる?
涙と笑顔 出会いと別れを
繰り返して

一人きりの
果てしない
道を 進む

黒い傘をたたんで
悲しみ 胸にしまって
白い雲を浮かべて
もっと 高く 飛べる

明日になれば
風も止まる 雨も上がる
影は去る
光が射す

手探りで
歩き出す
光と影の中を

======================================
[1] ichido-kiri = lit. [for] only one time. This implies a road that can only be taken once. “One-way” is a sufficiently close term to translate this implication.

[2] hitori-kiri = lit. just one person. “hitori-kiri no michi” implies a road that can only be taken by one person. It stresses the single-ness of the one person.
