THE YELLOW MONKEY – 楽園

THE YELLOW MONKEY – Paradise     

While carrying small baggage as well as a menthol cigarette box  

Let’s go to a paradise  

Let’s go to a paradise  

By riding on a large ship  

We’ve scraped off precious time meaninglessly  

With a “shoddy” knife

Let’s forget agony and hatred

Let’s share a spoonful of happiness

I’m not so weak as you think

With my hands full of love, courage, and despair

Let’s cross the black sea while bathing in the red setting sun, and

Head for that far-distant free sacred place

It’s okay if you travel alone or with someone

Let’s bring a cat, too

It’s up to you

Someday, we will grow up and get old

Make you free

Remain azure for eternity

The enhanced beat of life runs along the highway of arteries silently…

If you desire, a lewd dream may be good

There are too many love songs

The past cannot be erased and you doubt the future, so

You feel sad and miserable

We're always defiled before waking up

Make you free

Remain azure for eternity
