Labyrinth

Don’t look far away
Where sadness waits for us

Let both our eyes close
Kiss me here and now
A sweetly melting melody

Here, I’m drawn in
A labyrinthine paradise

No exit in my view
No ending for us two
Oh just surround me
I long for you

Don’t come in my way
This midnight paradise

Without a breath even
I deep dive right in
An intimate dance
Between us

Don’t look for me here
In the beautiful labyrinth

A single kiss between
Us and we can’t return
An intimate dance
Here for us

Become lost and numb
Like the midnight sun

Neither one of us
Are even trying to
Return to home again
Now are we?

*instrumental*

No, don’t stop it here
Let me sway to-and-fro

Without a single word
Kiss me here and now
Here, let me forget
Everything

No, don’t stop it here
Let me sway to-and-fro

Without a single word
Kiss me here and now
Now I’m falling from the blue

*instrumental*

Don’t look far away
Where sadness waits for us

Let both our eyes close
Kiss me here and now
A sweetly melting melody

Here, I’m drawn in
A labyrinthine paradise

No exit in my view
No ending for us two
Oh just surround me
I long for you

Don’t look far away
Where sadness waits for us

Let both our eyes close
Kiss me here and now
A sweetly melting melody

"Labyrinth" by MONDO GROSSO, is a Japanese house/dance-pop single that is hugely popular on Youtube. And, I'm just going to say this once:
 
IT'S
★ sᴜᴘʀᴇᴍᴇʟʏ d(*❛ั ᆸ ❛ *)b ɢᴏᴏᴅ ★  
 
If you haven't heard this song, and if you haven't read the English translation, then you're missing out on a whole shit ton of inspiring, lovely, and wonderful feelings in your life.
 
Of course, that's just my opinion.
 
If you're curious, and haven't heard this song yet, why don't you watch the video for yourself?

Author's Note
I've actually posted on DU a poem based on this song called "A glimpse into the labyrinth" which isn't remotely based on the original Japanese lyrics. These lyrics, by contrast are HEAVILY based on the original song. In fact, I used generously Kimono Beat's page on Tumblr (to which I've given a link to) who is a person that translates J-Pop songs. I thought that the original song was just so miraculously beautiful that I didn't have the right to change it like I did with my last post on it. Read out loud my translation, Kimono Beat's translation or anyone's translation of this song, and it will sound absolutely breathtaking. Especially, especially, if you listen to the original track.
