影を慕いて
千昌夫 Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Kage wo Shitaite" (meaning "Longing for Shadows") by the Japanese singer 千昌夫 (also known as Chiba Masafumi). The singer of the song is expressing his deep and unfulfilled feelings of love and longing for someone. He says that he is constantly thinking of this person, day and night, in rain or sun, and even while looking at the moon. He feels that his heart is burning with a fire that cannot be quenched, and that he must hide his tears from others as he secretly cries for his longing.

The second verse speaks of the singer's sadness and heartbreak, and how he wishes for some measure of consolation or solace. He picks up his guitar and feels the melancholic tune of the tremolo, as the autumn rain falls softly around him. He feels a deep loneliness and sadness that seems to permeate his very being.

Overall, the song is a powerful expression of unrequited love, and the pain and loneliness that comes with it. The wistful melody and poignant lyrics create a deep sense of longing in the listener.
