Where the Light Belongs (English Version)ひかりの居場所

The morning studio still holds the cold
A single chair leans against the wall
Without a word you move it aside
And open up the white behind me

The first light slants in from the side
And settles softly on my shoulder

You ask me who I want to reach
And one face comes into my mind

The light is searching for its place
Just a little in front of my cheek
Something that hasn't turned to words
Rises slowly from the edge

Before you capture anything at all
You listen to me for a while
To the winter window where my singing began
And the trembling in my palms

The second light is placed down low
And softens the shadow at my feet

You ask me who I want to reach
And one face comes into my mind

The light is searching for its place
Just a little in front of my cheek
Something that hasn't turned to words
Rises slowly from the edge

When I heard the shutter sound
I was no longer looking at the lens
At that face I held in mind
I was smiling, just a little

The light is searching for its place
Just a little in front of my cheek
Something that hasn't turned to words
Rises slowly from the edge

The trace of light left on the white wall
I feel I could stand there again tomorrow
