Shadow

Hi, thanks for translating! As a native German, I just have a few suggestions on improvements:

1st stanza:
• Ich Ich wachte durch die Musik deines Herzens auf → Ich wachte zur Musik deines Herzens auf (There's one "ich" too much. "Durch die Musik aufwachen" would mean "to wake up by the music")

1st pre-chorus:
• Weil nur du mich dort nehmen könntest → Weil nur du mich dorthin bringen könntest (This sounds better: "dort" would mean that they've already arrived, but I guess Birdy sings that they are going "towards" that place.)

2nd stanza:
• wenn er aufwachte → wenn er aufwacht (You have to use present tense.)
• unter jeden Schritt → unter jedem Schritt (The preposition "unter" usually requires the dative case.)

2nd pre-chorus:
• Nur du schaffst es, dass ich mir Sorgen mache → Nur du schaffst es, dass es mir wichtig ist (This is not a literal translation, but it shows the singer's intention better: Birdy wants to say that it matters a lot to her; "(sich) Sorgen machen" would mean "to worry".)
• Weil nur du mich gelassen hast, zu wagen → Weil nur du mich dazu gebracht hast, es zu wagen (Another free translation: Your version would mean that the guy would have left the singer doing whatever she wanted without caring; he'd be uninterested in her actions. But in fact, he does care: He encouraged the singer to dare, and this can be expressed in German by using "jmdn. dazu bringen".)

2nd chorus:
• The phrase "Bin ich dein Schatten" exists three times here. ;)

That is all. I found this song difficult to translate into German, so you did a good job! *thumbs_up*
