Forum: Lyric Discussions

Hey everyone, it's been a while! お久しぶりです! Real life kept me busy for the past couple of years, y'know how it is. :sweatdrop I've been working on this song on and off whenever I had time for a while now. Obviously I had to go for a Sound Horizon song right off the bat... err, not gonna lie,...

Years ago, I was wanting to translate this song based on The Thousand Nights and the One Night. However, the lyrics featured that neat trick that a lot of doujin songs do wherein they change the words but don't reflect it in the lyrics sheet. =_= orz Many of the words were Arabic, and Akkun was...

Hello, I asked a friend to translate this song and would love it if anyone can help give it a check and probably upload it to the animelyrics database as I have no access to upload them. I love both the song and the circle so much and would love it if the lyrics can be shared. Song can be heard...

Hi all Trying to transliterate this beauty. I'm no good with japanese, between JLPT5 and JLPT4 now. Found original kanji here http://lyricsdb.blogspot.com/2007/10/blog-post.html I did recognized katakana words as french, since i know it a bit. But i'm doubting some other words. 1. furigana...

Someone asked me to translate doriko's Onomapet. You can find the lyrics and my draft translation on my site (you need to click on the "English" button to see the translation). I don't know if the song is meant to make much sense, but I think I can translate most of it, just near the end...

So I'm translating Placebo by Hachiya Nanashi (https://www5.atwiki.jp/hmiku/pages/38957.html) and I'm hung up on the following bit: 汚れた目がなんたてったって とうにどうも救われてる あり得ない奇跡が起こってる 栄光と希望のビジネスモデル 引っ張っていってよ未来に Specifically on the "なんたてったって" part--I can't quite parse it, and it doesn't seem to be...

I want to post this but before I want to check them. Thank you in advance. 未熟　無ジョウ　されど　美しくあれ Inexperienced, heartless (uncertain), but even so, be beautiful. No Destiny　ふさわしく無い こんなんじゃきっと物足りない くらい語っとけばうまくいく 物、金、愛、言、もう自己顕示飽きた No Destiny would tie you and me.

I'm having trouble interpreting a couple of lines in 君が歌う僕の歌. Lyrics and play links on my website. Click on "English" to see my provisional translation. The song commemorates Meiko's 12 anniv. of release. My understanding is that the singer is the songwriter and 君 refers to Meiko. It seems that...

Ahh this one's been bugging me for ages: Full kanji: https://pastebin.com/819Kfv5q Full romaji: https://pastebin.com/Yt1Skwfs Full translation: https://pastebin.com/McuJSW7k Problem 1 チャンス到来モノに出来たら じゃあねお先に失礼します そんな強がり空回りかな

I have several half finished songs for this lyric challenge right now, and I was hoping that someone could assist me with one of them. For some unknown reason, a song from my distant past entered my mind two weeks ago, and as more lyrics came to me, I realised to my horror that is was Mahoro de...

Can anyone help me with this song? Lyrics: http://lenslyrics.ml/roadrollerstampede.html Click on "English" to see draft translation. Click the play tab to listen, but it might not add much to just reading the lyrics. The bits I'm struggling to understand are:

I understand 初恋予報 except for one phrase which is so frustrating ... I bet it's going to embed a video player when I hit submit but anyway here's the link to the video. Lyrics are here. The bit I don't get is 蹴っ飛ばした空 in verse 5: 「バカにするなよ」　売り言葉ニガイ言葉 コウカイ先に立たない 蹴っ飛ばした空　泣き出しそうでマルデ ココロ曇天模様

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKCxhGaKSV8 This is a pretty old and obscure song, so I was unable to find reliable transcriptions online. I did find some of unknown quality on English and Chinese sites, and they mostly align with what I got by ear, but there's one word I'm not sure about. ...

Hi, guys. I've been working on this song for quite a while now, meaning that I tried to translate it years ago but was dissatisfied and abandoned it. I discussed some parts with bluepenguin last year (who was an amazing aid, thank you), though I think some understanding of the entire song is...

Hello, I'm not sure this happens to anyone else, but I often run into songs which I just can't translate one or two lines in and it completely bins the whole translation. I have decided to compile these sections together in hopes that someone can help me out on a couple. Things get a bit lengthy...

歌:徒花ネクロマンシ― 歌手:フランシュシュ 作詞:古屋　真 作曲・編曲:山下洋介: 加藤裕介 Song: Adabana Necroman'shii / Fruitless Flower Necromancy Singer(s): Franchouchou Lyrics: Shin Furuya Composition and Arangement: Yousuke Yamashita and Yuusuke Katou

I'd like some help understand this song released by BIGHEAD to commemorate the 10th Kagamine anniversary: https://youtu.be/bqecQge4Hao The words themselves seem relatively straightforward but so much depend on how you interpret them so I'd like to give an interpretation of the lyrics as I go....

Anime: "Tensei Shitara Suraimu Datta Ken"/ "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" Song: Another Colony Singer/Band: True Lyrics: 唐沢美帆 / Miho Karasawa Composition: 中野領太/ Riyouta Nakano Arrangement: BBC Kanji lyrics source: https://www.lyrical-nonsense.com/lyrics/true/another-colony/

I translated this song a long time ago, way before joining this forum. In fact, this is actually the very first song I attempted to translate once I learned the Jouyou Kanji. So, while adding some songs to my songbox I was surprised to see there wasn't a translation for it here! Given that,...

The official English name of the Group is Franchouchou, however their actual name in Japanese is Franshushu. I hope I got the names right ^_^" I tried looking the names up on Google and putting them into Jisho. I think these are right but I am not certain. I think the と here is quote...

Okay this is an attempt to translate "Nameless Story," the OP to the new Anime Tensei Shitara Suraimu Datta Ken (That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime). I am horrible at transliterating Japanese names so these I plugged into Jisho.org and Google to get an idea on the proper...

Since there isn't a translation up, I thought I'd do one. But I can't post it since...I can't read Japanese...though the song is in Italian...so it shouldn't matter but... Even though it's sort of dated, it's always bugged me that there wasn't a good translation for it so I did it myself. Some...

Okay another translation in progress. This is from the ending of Fairy tail season nine this time. EDIT: I went ahead and rearranged this translation based on feedback from other songs. I also checked the Kanji with https://www.uta-net.com/song/256506/ EDIT 2: Put in corrections in teal...

This is my attempt to translate "Right Light Rise" I am sure there are a ton of errors but making errors is the best way to learn. This is a video with lyrics to compare to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd77HhDnkec Here is the transliteration on this site:...

With a new season of Fairy tail out I thought I would see if there was a translation for the song. I did find a transliteration at lyrical nonsense but didn't find any translations with a quick google check. So I thought I would take a crack at it. THAT said, I haven't passed the test here...

I'm translating 僕が天文学者だった頃: video (Niconico) Lyrics I'm puzzled by the second last verse天文台で君が去り際に 見せた涙の意味も 分からないまま星空は巡り いつしか大人になっていた I'm wondering what 君が could be the subject of. If it's the subject of 見せた then it would mean that the speaker "僕" didn't understand the meaning behind the...

Video links, lyrics and translation so far. (You'll need to click on "English" to see translation.) The song is about the narrator and a childhood friend."He supposed that the oath he exchanged as children with a friend closer than a brother would be an eternal bond. But his friend betrayed...

Full lyrics and provisional translation: http://lenslyrics.ml/angelheart.html I've just submitted the romaji but I'm uncertain about the meaning in a couple of places. verse 1 もう　イヤという言葉が / 疲れてきたと　イイワケにするの To say I've had enough, / I make the excuse that I'm getting tired. The problem...

I'll have to admit that I am not really good at translating. This is something I have started just recently as a hobby. And English is my third language. I am not sure where I have made mistakes in this translation and I'll be glad if someone could point them out. I want to improve my translations...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZQepm9GqTA I'd like my translation to be reviewed and I need some help with a few trouble spots. First the raw lyrics: Wake up 修行が始まる 覚悟決めてよ Wake up 覚めるのよ ここからマジで地獄 Stretching 体が硬いわ なんて硬いの (ああ〜ん…いた〜い…) Stretching もっと曲げなよ アゴがつくまで
