[Verse 1]
“It’s about a meter tall,”
“That mustard spinach,”
“It’s grown so much.”
I smiled at her.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
“It’s a paradise for insects,” she replied.
“I wish they’d give us back our paradise.”
[Chorus 1]
Welcome to paradise
The glittering sun
The dance of insects
The breath of spring
The dance of harvest
[Verse 2]
“I’m so tired,” she said.
“Ten o’clock break,” I said.
“Shall we have sweet potato bread?”
“Yey!” She replied.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I went back to the villa for a bit,
And brought back sweet potato bread and coffee.
[Chorus 2]
Welcome to paradise
The glittering sun
The dance of insects
The breath of spring
The dance of harvest
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
I set up a folding table and chairs,
And placed the bread and coffee on the table.
“Did you wash your hands?” I asked.
“Of course,” she replied.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
“It’s fun, like a picnic,” she said.
“Five-minute break, back to work,” I replied.
[Chorus 3]
Welcome to paradise
The glittering sun
The dance of insects
The breath of spring
The dance of harvest
[Bridge]
She says, “It’s delicious. I feel so happy.”
I reply, “That’s good.“
“The rent for the field is 5000 yen a year,”
“So it’s a 5000 yen paradise.”
[Final Chorus 3]
Welcome to paradise
The glittering sun
The dance of insects
The breath of spring
The dance of harvest
[Instrumental Solo]
