[translation] Catcher in The Light / About You

Thank you very much, Bryan, for checking the translations here.

Catcher in The light

If you only look
You will never get it

If you only look
It will never be yours

About You

Everyone surely has darkness
Hidden somewhere in their heart
Sometimes it prevents them
From living as they wish

We can't imagine other people's pain
It's hard for us to share it

But if I meet someone
Whom I really want to face
I don't want to feel fear

You shut the door of your heart with a violent noise
And lost the key to open it
A long time ago
So please tell me
Exactly what you feel
Just with common words
And with common expressions
Please let me hear

It's so fearful to believe
What is invisible and formless
But if you can do so
Don't you feel it's wonderful?

Even in the middle of such a grey city
Where you can hardly hold yourself together

Don't laugh so weakly
With a resigned look
As if to say "Such is life"

(*) Where is the person
Who could get what he wanted
Without making any sacrifices
You see?
You have the thing which I long for
Which I had lost and will never get again
However strongly I wish for it

You shut the door of your heart with a violent noise
And lost the key to open it
A long time ago
So please tell me
Exactly what you feel
Just with common words
And with common expressions

(*) repeat
It's so dazzling to me
