Lyrics

主よ、今どこにいるの？
さあ、引きこもりにしようと思う　（聖霊を）
僕から取り除かないでください
ただ一人のいつも忠実な友

ふらっとあなたから走り去ろうと
かたくなな心で真っ黒道を
ぴかぴか、何でもかんでも欲しいな
この世にさ迷っている羊のよう

またまた暗夜回廊に飛び込み
あなたのみ声を聞こえないように
しぶしぶ、目眩の闇に声を立てて
もういいや、やられた、こんな試み

分かってくるーのは
こんな空しい話が
静かになりますと
み声、聞こえますよ

Translation

(direct translation)

Lord, where are You now?
Well... I guess I should just withdraw from everyone...
Please don't take Your Holy Spirit away from me
My only always-faithful Friend

Aimlessly, I try to run away from You
With a hardened heart, along this darkened road
Glittering, I want anything and everything
Like a lost sheep in this world

Again and again I fly down darkened corridors
In order to avoid hearing Your voice
Reluctantly, in the dizzying darkness I cry out
Enough already! I'm tired of this kind of trial

Something I'm starting to understand
Is that when these empty words become quiet
I can hear Your voice...!

Notes

The more I think about it, the more I realize how selfish it is to want to withdraw from everyone. At times it can be helpful, though.
