Welcome to Shangri-la
Welcome to Shangri-la
A land of paradise where seasons blossom forth
In splendor, knowing no end
Swayed by the scent of peaches
Within a waking dream, “Paradise”
The back I had yearned for one day
Left down a path of blooming violets
Pretending not to see
The coming of spring, shedding tears with the full moon
“What is it that you desire?” Drawing on delusions
Cast it all away
Until dawn steals away the night, shall we play together?
Let us dance, dance in brilliant beauty at the seam of all under heaven
Beckoning you closer, am I a peach blossom?
Or a red spider lily?
“I want to see you.” If you so desire,
Tonight even my heart shall be at your mercy
Blossoming out of season, together our petals scatter
A blossom of beauty
“If only we could walk towards the same future…”
A fantasy I quietly cling to
The grieving of a love unwanted
The blame lies with I, who had yearned for it from the beginning
A land of paradise where desire is fulfilled
Water lilies that bloomed, unknowing
The bitterness of the peaches today
Brought by a spring nourished by tears
Upon a flight of fancy, amusement reflected on the water’s surface
Yin and yang, selective mutism, Shangri-la
As if in mottled splendor, we tangle together
In depravity, exaggeration, conflict
Yes, there is no awakening, no cooling this heat
And all still go to the depths of an eternal dream
“Won’t you dance with me?”
Ripples on the water that resound with sorrow
In the depths of the Yellow River
Dreams of longing are
Ephemeral bubbles from a time already past
“Now, come to me.” And so, against my heart
For whom will I blossom for?
Becoming stained with unfading colors
Flowers of nirvana and despair
Welcome to Shangri-la
Welcome to Shangri-la
———Like how flowers scatter once they bloom
Destiny cannot be changed———
Now, this dream and your everything
Won’t you devote it all to me
And fall with me? Falling towards an infinite abyss
Red spider lilies that start to wilt
“I want to see you.” If you so desire,
Tonight even my heart shall be at your mercy
I lure you to the realm of the dead
A blossom of beauty
