Sad Utopia / Yakusoku No Primula Front Cover

Lyric

Sad Utopia (feat. VALSHE) [English Ver.]

Mirai Kodai Orchestra

《Cast out from our homeland, we arrived in a land》

《Where delicate flowers bloomed》

《We trampled on the gentle colors》

《And the flowers soaked in red were primulas》

Somewhere in the distance there’s a place

Somewhere everybody wears a happy face

“Maybe it’s a daydream,” some will say

Come what may, we are longing for its wonder

《We are searching, we are searching》

For a promised land beyond imagination

《Seek and find》

《We are searching, we are searching》

For a land where flowers grow in sweet abundance

Let us take it for ourselves and build a sad Utopia

Make a world for ourselves, no one else

There’s no room in this small garden for a native plant or seed

We have a right to seize it, it’s our destiny

In a desperate flight we have to fight or we will not survive

Yes, we knew what to do from the very start

Let us wear our shame with pride

Make a home for our kind

《Cast out from our homeland, we arrived in a land》

《Where delicate primulas bloomed》

Born to be a sinner not a saint

Ridiculed and laughed at in this foreign place

I will go no further, I will stay

And protect you my love, now and forever

《We are searching, we are searching》

For a far-off land, forgetting what was promised

《Seek and find》

《We are searching, we are searching》

As the primulas remain a distant memory

Let us take it for ourselves and build a sad Utopia

Make a world for ourselves, no one else

In a country we can all be Kings, and we must all survive

There is no place for paupers or self-sacrifice

Words of wisemen, words of wisdom falling hollow on our ears

No salvation to come, no one stands on our side

Let us share this shame with pride

Make a home for our kind

Crimson flows into the ground

There’s no room for understanding

All is muddy and impure

In a shade of melancholy

Somewhere in the distance there’s a place

Somewhere everybody wears a happy face
