Surrounded by forces
a given choice to depart
if infatuation had a start
a blend of cause and effect
as the world acts
restores
a semblance of harmony
from the Japanese gift given
as you left a Tokyo lift
until the cab drove him away
she had a crush on
an older man married man
the wife did not want to worry
about distances
to refind someone she loved
so he met and left his princess
far far away
where song is only karaoke
words lose there sense
punch lines shed their humor
was love discarded to be found
again at a tunnels end?
who knows how it is
surrounded by alien syllables
greeted by bows
but he embraced the lady
as the end of runway strip
how love did slip
untranslated..

~ Memorable lines! Very creative!

I could see it all playing out before my eyes! Your 'translation' was very vivid!
