On a winter’s night, standing on tiptoe, the beasts part the snow

Inside the hollow of an ancient tree, I hold my breath, my nine tails trembling

The town lights are too far away, their warmth can’t reach me

Bound by the laws of the forest—this is a yōkai fox’s fate

But I love you, so much it burns this chest

Counting the nights without ever touching you, a human

I’m on the verge of cursing this loneliness, yet I still live

I love you—that alone is why I still breathe

Every time the snow piles higher, I remember your scent

That day by the riverbank, your smiling face tangles in the tips of my tails and won’t let go

Humans live a hundred years, I live a thousand—the gap between our times is cold

If I draw near, I’ll end up cursing you, so I keep my eyes shut

But I love you, you melt this frozen heart

The pain of fingertips that can never touch keeps me truly alive

I want to tear this loneliness apart, I want to howl at the moon

I love you—this feeling alone is what chains this yōkai fox

Snow falls silently

Atop the ancient tree, I can’t even whisper your name

I curl my tails around myself and wait for dawn—my last

But I love you, even after thousands of years

Even if you, a human, vanish, this love will never fade

Beyond loneliness, beyond any curse, just one thing

I love you, I love you—that alone is enough

Through winter nights until spring finally comes

I’ll be right here, still thinking of you
