Kishi Katchu Kagayaku

Where have you gone?
My friend of many moons
They have taken you away!

How could they?

I cannot live without your presence
My heart, oh how it aches!
Oh, my mind, overworked in worry!

For where has my knight in shining armor gone?

In troubles, you save me
How am I to save you?
For I cannot fend for myself!

I am no savior, I am not brave!
Watashi ni modori masu! Aishi te i masu! *

((*Translation of Japanese romanization: Return to me! I love you!))
