Shadow of the Night

KANJI
Hey heah um Here we go
Clap Clap Clap Clap Let me feel your heart beat
Clap Clap Clap Clap

Grind　揺らぐ予感　導くMidnight secret
もう待てない　Countin’ down
コトバより　ほらカラダでSeek
あまく　擦れた香り　誘うがまま
滴る汗さえも　気にしない　Try to find
甘美なShape　晒してよ
オーバーヒート寸前の　欲望のパノラマ

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Just begin
沈黙消した　First touch
まさにShut down　秩序やルール
上書きさせてよ Wanna make you mine

夜の隙間に　踊ろう　Hurry！ Hurry！
Oh girl 0h girl Can’t stop me now
ただイタズラに　過ぎ去ってく　瞬間¹なら
確かめ合おう　Physically
Neon の Lightが　奏でたFascinate
溶けてく　ふたつのシルエット
そうさ　Easy Easy　かなり大胆に
No more　キミを感じたいよ

Sleep　浅い眠り　繰り返すよりは
何度でも　その海で彷徨っていたい　鼓動も濡らして

Drop Drop Drop Drop Drop Drop Just begin
雫の音　Surround して
ローラーコースターみたいにFallin’
逆さまで　ふたり Wanna know you

続くセメギアイ　もっと　Diggin’！ Diggin’！
Oh girl 0h girl Can’t stop you now
でもウラハラに　愛しさも溢れて
アンバランスなMy heart and soul
息もできないほど　限界までPassionate
1秒1秒がIn fact
もっと Gimme Gimme　Kissの合図に
どんどん　アツくNegotiation

強く抱いても　満たされはしない
Can’t get enough
意識の向こうで　空回りして　Time is up
ささやく唇　幾度　奪えど
Can’t get enough
見え隠れする　微かな戸惑いも Precious
あと少しそばで...

夜の隙間に　踊ろう　Hurry！ Hurry！
Oh girl Oh girl Can’t stop me now
ただイタズラに　過ぎ去ってく　瞬間¹なら
確かめ合おう　Physically
Neon の Lightが　奏でたFascinate
溶けてく　ふたつのシルエット
そうさ　Easy Easy　かなり大胆に
No more　キミを感じたいよ

TRANSLATION
Grind　I can sense that I'm wavering　A secret at midnight showing me the way
I can't wait any longer, I'm countin' down
Seeking you out with body over words
Your sweetly lingering scent invites me in
Unbothered by the dripping sweat, I try to find you
Show me your sweet shape
This panorama of desire on the verge of overheating

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Just begin
The first touch that made the silence disappear
Let me overwrite the order and rules
That you shut down　Wanna make you mine

Let's dance within the small opening of the night sky　Hurry! Hurry!
Oh girl, oh girl　Can't stop me now
Just casually passing by
Then let's confirm each other physically now
A fascination born out of the neon lights playing
Two silhouettes melting
That's right　Easy, easy　Be bold
No more　I want to feel you

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap You and I
Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Here we go

Sleep　You're lightly asleep　Rather than repeat this
I want to keep wandering out onto that sea　And dip my heartbeat into it

Surrounded by dripping sounds
Fallin' like a rolling coaster
The two of us upside down　Wanna know you

Our wrestling continues　More　Diggin'! Diggin'!
Oh girl, oh girl　Can't stop you now
But in contrast, you're overflowing with preciousness
Unbalancing my heart and soul
Passionate to the limit, so much we can't breathe
Second by second, in fact
More, gimme gimme　Signalled by a kiss
This negotiation is getting more and more heated up

Even if I hold you tightly, it doesn't fulfill me
Can't get enough
Wandering around aimlessly on the other side of consciousness　Time is up
No matter how often I get to steal your whispering lips
Can't get enough
Those glimpses of slight confusion you show, are precious too
Maybe I'll stay by your side a little longer...

Let's dance within the small opening of the night sky　Hurry! Hurry!
Oh girl, oh girl　Can't stop me now
Just casually passing by
Then let's confirm each other physically now
A fascination born out of the neon lights playing
Two silhouettes melting
That's right　Easy, easy　Be bold
No more　I want to feel you

THIS SONG. i'm obsessed. aside from the 18+ lyrics (lol whewwww), i'm also just so impressed with the way the singing parts were divided. there's only the three of them this time, but it sounds so incredibly layered, i love it *___* that "ato sukoshi soba de" line before the final chorus... looove. plus, they each have parts where they sing in a certain way that makes me feel all gooey inside, huhu. it's great.

as i was translating, i started interpreting the song as being about a guy unwilling/unable to commit to anything emotional, until he slowly starts realising he finds this girl kind of precious, so he stays a little longer with her (...implying he falls in love imo, haha). of course that's just me, but it does mean it influenced my translation a bit. i'm always open for other interpretations!
