Dear Admins, I submitted the first post because I dont want to lose all my work here when my browser crashs, sorry for the inconvenience. This one is a rather complete one. Edit: Found out there is a Lyric Discussions for incomplete work, so posting here instead.

-First, the song name should be "Bird's Poem", 詩 means poem, song is 歌 in Japanese.-
EDIT: found out Uta means song.
Chinese lyrics from the vidio and www.keyfc.net/bbs/showtopic-30478.aspx (http://www.keyfc.net/bbs/showtopic-30478.aspx)
Might help if you know Chinese.
I don't know Japanese but I know Chinese so I know the meaning of the 漢字 in Japanese. I use 3 machine translate and a JP dictionary, baidu gave me some good translation as people contribute when using it.

I only list lines needed to be revised, full srt with time stamp attached below.
? means the original translation
` means the revised one
OR means two explaintions
() means words inside maybe can be omitted
* means lines need help
