kanji & kana

    黒い豹(ひょう)が
    息を潜め
    近づきながら
    鋭い目で
    獲物を狙う

    草を食(は)んだ
    鹿の群れは
    何も気づかず
    平和な時間が過ぎてく

    襲いかかる
    そのタイミング
    じっと待って
    射止めるだろう

    愛を追い続けてる
    まるで 私みたい
    深い森の奥から
    現れ
    愛を追い続けてる
    胸のその片隅
    爪と牙を隠して風になる
    ・・・LOVE CHASE

    生きることは
    孤独だから
    信じるものは
    誰でもなく
    自分の本能

    疑うこと
    慣れていない
    憐れな鹿は
    強い欲望の餌食さ

    他の豹も
    狙うだろう
    答えを出せ!
    YESか?NOか?

    愛に追われる者よ
    何に怯えるのか?
    どうせ逃れられない
    宿命
    愛に追われる者よ
    いつか捕(とら)われるさ
    誇り高く微笑み
    振り向けよ
    ・ ・・LOVE CHASE

    愛を追い続けてる
    まるで 私みたい
    深い森の奥から
    現れ
    愛を追い続けてる
    胸のその片隅
    爪と牙を隠して風になる
    ・・・LOVE CHASE

english translation

    The black panther
    Hushes
    As it comes closer
    With sharp eyes,
    It aims for its spoils

    The herd of deer
    That ate the grass,
    Without them noticing a thing,
    A peaceful time passed by

    It moves in for the attack
    With that timing
    Patiently it waits
    And seemingly makes them its own

    I keep on chasing after love
    With all of myself
    From the deep forest
    I come out
    I keep on chasing after love
    In that corner of the chest
    I hide my claws and fangs, and become the wind
    …LOVE CHASE

    Because living creatures
    Are in solitude,
    That which I believe in,
    Without anyone,
    Are my own instincts

    The doubts
    Aren't making me tame
    The deer coming out
    Are a strong desire's victims

    The other panthers also
    Seem to aim
    Answer!
    Yes? No?

    I'm a person chasing after love, you know
    Are you afraid of something?
    In any case, you can't escape
    It's fate
    I'm a person chasing after love, you know
    One day, you'll be captured
    With great pride, I'll smile
    And turn about
    …LOVE CHASE

    I keep on chasing after love
    With all of myself
    From the deep forest
    I come out
    I keep on chasing after love
    In that corner of the chest
    I hide my claws and fangs, and become the wind
    …LOVE CHASE
