Paradise
words and music by Toshiyuki Furuya
sung by Humming Bird
from the Humming Bird albums, “Unsweet” and “Happy Birthday”


荒ぶる砂塵をまさあげて   未開の荒野を渡る時
耳慣れない声が聞こえる
どこからともなく誘いかけ   見果てぬ大地に引き寄せる
こだまする闇の声


「おいで  夢と叶えるもの  浅ましき若者達よ
  
おまえもやがて快楽の世界へ」


奪われて   惑わされて   倒錯してる Paradise
止まらない  もっとEcstasy  引き込まれてく Paradise

刺激の心を閉ざされて   何かが歪んで見える時
億えのある声が聞こえる
この世のものとは思えない   押しつけるような笑う声
交差する低い声

「おいで   傷みは和らぐもの   震え続ける事じゃない
   
おまえもやがて快楽のせかいへ」

奪われて   惑わされて   倒錯してる Paradise
止まらない  もっとEcstasy  引き込まれてく Paradise

愛する者へ絆さえ   見境いもなく破り捨てる
降りそそぐ甘い声

「おいで     光を継ぐもの   ひざまずいて祈る者よ
  
おまえもやがて快楽の世界へ」

奪われて   惑わされて   倒錯してる Paradise
止まらない  もっとEcstasy  引き込まれてく Paradise

Paradise
translation by Shiro-san

Raising one's voice and lifting the sand and dust, when crossing the unexplored wilderness,
The ear hears the voice which is to be heard,
Seeing it draw to the ground which does not end
A voice of darkness echoes

In it is, A dream which is granted, it's miserable and comes to the young people
You will eventually go to the world of pleasure

Being taken, being bewildered, it has an inverted Paradise
It doesn't stop, more Ecstasy, pulling you to be packed for the Paradise

You closing the mind of stimulation, something is warped when it is visible,
The voice which a hundred million people has heard
Those of this world you cannot think of, It seems that you push the voice which is laughed out
It crosses the low voice

In it is, a pain that is softened, there's no time to continue to tremble
Or you who will eventually go to a place of happiness

Being taken, being bewildered, it has an inverted Paradise
It doesn't stop, more Ecstasy, pulling you to be packed for the Paradise

Breaking free from boundaries of the person I love and even have a bond with,
Where the sweet voice falls

In it is, Those which succeed our light, kneeling to the person you pray to
You will eventually go to the world of pleasure

Being taken, being bewildered, it has an inverted Paradise
It doesn't stop, more Ecstasy, pulling you to be packed for the Paradise
