i kiss
your soft skin the soft skin of your chest and our love affair our love triangle begins you, beautiful you and the two of us we love each other love is triangular sinful and sweet pleasures (**) they make you shiver i got too carried away the lewd scars on your back he made them love is triangular sinful and sweet pleasures they make you dizzy i like it when it hurts too whisper softly whisper me lies my earlobes are burning freeze them sinful and sweet pleasures they take away your hopes i love you so much i don't want to see you again they make you shiver and dizzy shiver and dizzy |
(*) sei sankaku-kei also means 'the holy trinity'
(**) in a sexual context, both 'asobi' and 'yorokobi' mean 'pleasure', but they
have different usages. 'asobi' is the act, the pursuit of pleasure, like in
'summer pleasures in the southern islands'; 'yorokobi' is the sensation, the
feeling of pleasure, like in 'giving pleasure'

translator's notes
(*)"itoshi no erii" is an old Southern All Stars hit song
| itsuka futari ga ai wo nakushite hanare banare ni naru to shitara kanashii koto da kedo sore wa kami no miwaza do ni mo naranai koto sore wa kami no miwaza soshite bokura wa ai shiaezu ni hanare banare ni natte shimau kanashii koto da kedo sore wa kami no miwaza do ni mo naranai koto sore wa kami no miwaza kanashii koto da kedo sore wa kami no miwaza do ni mo naranai koto sore wa kami no miwaza |
if someday we
fall out of love and break up it's sad but that's the work of god nothing you can do about it it's the work of god and the two of us won't love each other we'll grow distant it's sad but that's the way things happen there's no way out of it it's the work of god it's sad but that's destiny nothing you can do c'est la vie |
