Pointless video post - ‘Into a Dream’ 夢の中へ by Inoue Yôsui 井上陽水

Sadly, it’s been awhile since I did one of these. Enjoy this whimsical Japanese folk-rock song from 1973, gentle readers!

Lyrics (English translation):

What is it that you’re looking for?
Is it something that’s hard to find?
And you looked in your bag and your desk…
… but you can’t find it.

Do you still intend to keep on looking?
Won’t you dance with me instead?
Wouldn’t you want to… Wouldn’t you want to…
… go off into a dream?

Woo-hoo-hoo… Woo-hoo-hoo… Woo-hoo-hoo… Sa-a…

You won’t even let yourself sleep anymore,
And you’ve stopped smiling.
Down on your hands and knees, down on your hands and knees,
What on earth is it you’re looking for?

And just when you’ve stopped looking for it,
You find it; it happens all the time.
So let’s dance! Wouldn’t you want to…
… go off into a dream?

Woo-hoo-hoo… Woo-hoo-hoo… Woo-hoo-hoo… Sa-a…

What is it that you’re looking for?
Do you still intend to keep on looking?
Wouldn’t you want to… Wouldn’t you want to…
… go off into a dream?

Woo-hoo-hoo… Woo-hoo-hoo… Woo-hoo-hoo… Sa-a…
Woo-hoo-hoo… (… Into a dream?)
Woo-hoo-hoo… (… Into a dream?)
Woo-hoo-hoo… Sa-a…
