可笑しな世界 - 乱魔堂

Quick and dirty, here's the Japanese.

In a Strange World - Ranmadou

In a strange world
In a strange car
I had a strange dream

You said to me
"Let's go on a trip together!"
When I'm with you I
feel so good

In a strange world
In a strange car
I had a strange dream

You said to me

Curses and laughter make brilliant shadows
A silently sinking excitement [2]
falls on the highway
They say we were born
on a meaningless Saturday
When you're in a melancholy this deep
The words and the sky definitely don't have the answers [3]
A puzzle I can't solve
is wrapped in an overcoat
Summer comes to us, backlight
when we thread our way through the buildings
It's summer. Now, smile
They say it's summer!

In a strange world
In a strange language
I heard a strange story

You said to me
"Let's take a trip together!"
When I'm with you I'm
not scared of anything

In a strange world
In a strange language
We're having a strange conversation

Notes:

[1] Yellow or yellowed? Kind of different implications.
[2] In general this is so trippy it's hard to guess what they are getting at.
[3] Possibly interpreted wrong or overly.
