then choose the song from the stage song lyrics, album lyrics etc ^^

 

been enjoying the translations so far.

here's what i did in my sparetime today:
(and i would also suggest that a similar catalogue be posted and updated on the first post of this thread, as it would greatly help keep track of which songs have been done already by whom )

She has not put the translations on her website yet, at least as of 13 September.

 

Okay, thank Youkokurama.
And...difficult to say..."AKB48" song please.

 

woohoo! ..
can i post a translation of that with pictures? hehehe. i have been taking pictures of the places in the song for quite sometime now. i'm still missing 2 places though.

 

Youkokurama, clever move to organize a list of what songs have been translated so far with links to all of them. I'm actually surprised I translated 12 songs already. I also translated "Boku no Hana", but that's under the "Densen Uta" thread (technically making it 13 songs so far). Just be careful with giving due credit - some of the songs on this thread may have been posted by one person, but translated by another. For the record, I post my own translations.

And by all means please translate "AKB48" with pictures! I'd really appreciate it! I tried translating it myself, but found out that there are a ton references to both the Akihabara district and the theater the girls perform in - and I haven't been to either (or even Japan as a matter of fact). The pictures would certainly help out with figuring out what these different places look like.

And for those eager for translations, I'd like to personally apologize for my own downtime. College is just absolutely time consuming. However, I'm still working on songs when I get the chance. The next one will most likely be posted by this weekend. Thank you all for your patience!

 

^I'm really sorry for forgetting your boku no hana translation. some chiru fan i am huh. hehehe. argh.

i edited my post and added boku no hana with a link to the densen uta thread.

 

Just a sugestion isn´t better to put this links in the first page?

 

^ yeah ... staff should do that ^^

@youkokorama: like gideon123 said ... i'm just posting not translated the song ^^ ... and I'm waiting for AKB48 too

 

A Few Side Notes - 1.) Shounan is a resort area in Japan southwest of Tokyo. 2.) This song featured several onomatopoeic words - "Gira Gira Gira" and "Kira Kira Kira". I took the liberty to translate them loosely, though in a way they lose their original flare. 3.) Overall, I felt that the song had several gaps that required filling in order to flow well in English.

So yeah - without further ado, here's the translation!

“Namida no Shounan” – “Shounan of Tears”
Original lyrics by Mr. Akimoto Yasushi
Translation by gideon123

CHU CHU CHU
CHU CHU CHU CHU
CHU CHU CHU
CHU CHU CHU CHU

The wave of falling dominoes
Touches close to my heart
The sandy shore of my memories
A midsummer clock
The terrace of a shore house
The same sky as last year
Passion’s sun
Shines away the solitude

We often resembled lovers
A fleeting love without knowing
Our bodies brought together,
But a love uncalculated

SPARKLINGLY
Suntanned (the color of wheat)
On my skin (a trace of the swimsuit)
A changing room of that love
Cannot be forgotten
SPARKLINGLY
Even now (this pinky ring)
Always (I won’t take off)
Once more,
I want to be loved
Shounan of tears

With a short-cut hair,
I looked like I became an adult
The sound of the waves repeats
A painful premonition

With you on this beach,
A played wakeboard
At a memory’s corner
I bury in the sand

BRIGHTLY
It shines (a far away place)
Dazzling (the horizon)
In this chest,
They remain –
These déjà vu sands
HOW BRIGHT IS
The time itself (each time I turn around)
And this jewelry (a glittering thing)
Twice more,
I can’t meet you, right?
Shounan of tears

Scooped up with a spoon
The lemon-flavored shaved ice
That summer’s kiss
In an instant, it dissolved

SPARKLINGLY
Suntanned (the color of wheat)
On my skin (a trace of the swimsuit)
A changing room of that love
Cannot be forgotten
SPARKLINGLY
Even now (this pinky ring)
Always (I won’t take off)
Once more,
I want to be loved
Shounan of tears

*TRANSLATOR'S NOTE - I submitted this to haruna_hamasaki for her AKB48 lyrics website, but for those who still haven't seen the translation yet, here it is. I've looked it over several times, and I think it stands up well under scrutiny, though I may make minor changes occasionally without due notice. Nevertheless, if there are any errors, please let me know so I may make the proper corrections.

Ah...my mistake, so sorry about that
It's EDITED now.

 

There's been significant talk of this song in one of the discussion threads, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I hope you enjoy!

“Darui Kanji” – “A Dull Feeling”
Original Lyrics by Mr. Akimoto Yasushi
Translation by gideon123

Even today, Papa
At the “workplace”
Is busy with the women
As for me,
I got my ears pierced
By a stranger
Who doesn’t know anything

Mama is somewhere
Probably learning something
Taking it in ambitiously
A revenge for youth’s folly

At the UFO Catcher
I’m alone
If I just put in a coin
Something
Other than love that I crave
Enters my hand

Somehow there’s a dull feeling
Even breathing is bothersome
Somehow there’s a dull feeling
Is okay that I didn’t go home?
Is it okay that I was doing something?

As for my friends,
They can only show off
Like actors of this outgrown place
Always for somebody
They seem so disconnected
With the same extra make-up

For the teacher
I’m an excellent student
A dreamt-up marionette
If you’re watching from far away,
We’re like insects

Even if you do a bad thing,
You need energy
Before you know it,
A rebellion
Has already passed

Everything has a dull feeling
Even if I am alive…
Everything has a dull feeling
In this way, is it okay for me to disappear?
Is it okay if I go far away?

Somehow there’s a dull feeling
Even breathing is bothersome
Somehow there’s a dull feeling
Is it okay that I didn’t go home?
Is it okay that I was doing something?
Is it okay that I go far away?

Papa comes back in the morning from his overtime of love
Mama is recently single
I don’t want to do anything
Farewell, bye-bye, oh oh

Dull, right?
Dull, right?
Dull, right?
Dull, right?

Thanks a lot for the Daruikanji translation And also thanks to everyone for providing translations, lyrics and colour codes.

I think that song could have been a pretty good single for AKB48. The lyrics seem to be in the same category as Seifuku and Keibetsu, and the song itself is incredible.

Could I request a translation for Blue Rose please?

 

Gideon123, thanks so much for your translation on Koike, it makes more sense and i want to rewatch the performances of Yuka and Mariko on this very song.

 

As requested by yumestarlet, here is "Warning". I apologize for the massive delay. It took a while to grasp the overall concept of the song, and even longer to translate it properly. I had to make some stretches on the meaning of some words, reorganize some word orders, and plug in some English fillers to make the song flow properly. But overall, I think it's fine.

And CDevil, I can take a stab at translating "Blue Rose" for you. Just give me some time to get it done since I have other songs lined up, and college is time-consuming for me.

So yeah - without further ado, here's the song translation! I hope you like it!

“Warning”
Original lyrics by Mr. Akimoto Yasushi
Translation by gideon123

Though totally naive for just ten minutes, it was dark
It hurt that despite the honesty, there was no regret
For me, it’s a case-by-case rate of pain
If tomorrow comes, we can’t meet
And I want to meet him

You’re a rascal; but if you become a scoundrel, that’s mean
For the sake of being liked, let’s try to be dependent on others
Side by side like a girl
But whispering to profit from other people’s affection is the worst

As for a maiden’s ambition for love,
More comfortably she wants it to put it in her hand
Even if she stretches up impossibly,
It must to be life-sized
Because she can’t hold it

Your color isn’t certain
It looks dyed
If I’m restrained, I want to cancel on the same day
With an unexpected, sudden bye-bye-bye
If it can be a good feeling,
Even a breath won’t continue, right?

Love is everything to a maiden
She won’t need anything else
If it’s an encounter of coincidence
She’ll believe in fate
Even if it is an exception…

As for a maiden’s ambition for love,
More comfortably she wants it to put it in her hand
Even if she stretches up impossibly,
It must to be life-sized
Because she can’t hold it

WOW WOW WOW…

Warning!
Warning!
Warning!

For your sake
Let’s be careful!
Deceived!
By all the maidens!
But just for
Our sake
With that said habit
It’ll be an infectious feeling
Just the two us

Warning!
Warning!
Warning!

i know this has already been posted by gideon123 before, but please let me post my own translation of this song. entering the "-ber" months, i finally decided to start listening to christmas songs, and of course first in my list was chiru's song.

so here's my own interpretation of Anata to Christmas Eve:

anata to christmas eve (a christmas eve with you)

beyond any present anyone could give
all i wanted was to be held in your arms
against your dark blue coat
to lay my head throughout the night

even as the delicate snow begins to cover us
even as the streetlights start to turn on
i shall never let go
from this place
'til the second after forever

for the world's most wonderful
christmas eve, i thank you
and someday, as we look back upon this day
merry christmas, and i love you

with no need for words
the flow of time shall speak of love
on such a meaningful night
just the two of us, together

even if the snowfall is far from over
even if it continues to rain down upon us
everything's fine as it is
for none shall comfort me better
than the warm blanket that is you

somewhere in this world borns a whisper
a promise made by lovers
and from this day forth, let ours begin
merry christmas and i love you

for the world's most wonderful
christmas eve, i thank you
and someday, as we look back upon this day
merry christmas, and i love you

somewhere in this world borns a whisper
a promise made by lovers
and from this day forth, let ours begin
merry christmas and i love you
merry christmas and i love you




@haruna_hamasaki: again, feel free to grab this if you think it's good enough

 

^ Sounds like a good translation a to me. Good job! I actually think it flows more poetically than my own translation.

And for future reference, just because I've translated a song already doesn't mean nobody else can. Likewise, just because someone else has posted a translation already doesn't mean that I won't post my own.

I'm definitely not an authority on the Japanese language - as a matter of fact, I got the title wrong for "Anata to Christmas Eve" and likewise translated it wrong. I'll go back to fix my translation. But more importantly, songs are a work of art. Likewise, I personally believe song translations are a form of art. We react to works of art in different ways based on our personal views, opinions, beliefs and whatnot. So in essence, a translation is a reflection of one's personality and can technically count as a work of art, right?

So yeah! Express yourself! If you've got your own translation for a song, by all means post it! I'm really curious what other people think of what the song lyrics mean.
