This is a translation of the lyrics of “Euphoria”: You are the sunlight that rose again in my life A reincarnation of my childhood dreams I don’t know what this emotion is If this place is also inside a dream This dream is a blue mirage in the desert A priori deep inside of me I’m so happy, I can’t breathe My surroundings are getting more and more transparent I hear the far-away ocean Across the dream, over the horizon I’m going to the place that’s getting clearer Take my hands now You are the cause of my euphoria Euphoria, take my hands now You are the cause of my euphoria Euphoria, close the door now when I’m with you in Utopia Were you wandering around, looking for an erased dream too? It’s different from the typical definition of destiny Your pained eyes are looking at the same place as me Won’t you please stay in dreams?
