Перевод песни Delerium - Aria

Ever since I could remember, I have known,
that children, by candle light,
have see a shadow on the wall
and have chased it all night through
busily they have tried,
with all their might, to catch it

And when they most expect to catch it
it shoots most quickly out of sight
this shadow never shall be caught
in any trap they lay
this shadow in the likeness
of this world and yesterday
