Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. I just need someone to translate the title. Thanks.

http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/arianatural/euforia.jis While trying to translate the above lyrics casually, I have problem with understanding a particular line in the verse 生まれては消えてく そう　変わりゆくものだけど かけがえのない この思いは 変わらない＜いつまでも＞変わらない＜いつまでも＞ きっと…

「横顔-acoustic version-」 "Yokogao (Side Profile)" どこまでも続くこの空　眺めてる横顔 頬に触れる長い髪が　揺れている Your side profile gazing at the endless sky Your hair swaying gently as it caresses your cheeks 切なさは　言葉にならないけど

While it's still up, you can listen to the song on Soundcloud here. 静かな青 遥か消える雲に 願うの 二人の朝 さあ出発しましょう 旅立ちの刻(とき) I make a wish to the clouds fading into the distant blue The two of us in the morning - come, it's time to set off さあ ともに 漕ぎ出すの 少しずつ 少しずつ 行きましょう

Hi all! I just recently took the Japanese test and was accepted to be a contributor for AL, so I've been working on some songs I wanted to see translated, one of which is 硝子の瞳 by シド. My Japanese is fairly good, but there were still a few sections, namely the chorus, where I ran into trouble --...

Hi everyone, Having started the Mitsumete Knight lyrics section, I plan to fill it as much as possible (love this sadly obscure, yet great Konami game I discovered during my study trip in Japan, and it has superb songs). I did a translation of this game's main Ending, "Mitsumete" (=...

Hi everyone, I just finished translated the opening of the PS1 video game Lightning Legend: Daigo no Daibouken, "Shinkirou" (Mirage) by Yurica Nagasawa. The song's energic BGM is pretty fitting for this Fighting game, but as I translated the song, seems like the lyrics absolutely aren't. So...

Hi everyone. I've completed the translation of the Ending Song of the Playstation 1 game Sampaguita (3rd game of the Yarudora series), "Hold on", by Marlene Pena Lim. It's a frikkin' awesome song, fitting for that great game, and I had tons of fun translating it. But there's a single line I'm...

After studying my kanji for a while, I finally reached a level where I could read all but one word of the Japanese test, and I submitted my romaji and translation of it. It's been nearly a week now since I submitted, and I wanted to confirm some sort of timeframe for when it would be graded, and if...

So, I've been trying to translate Blindfold Code, since I myself would like to know what it means, but the chorus has me stumped because of these two things: 生涯不安症な君と明日へ先に行けそうかもね。 I get the "I might be able to move on to tomorrow," but it's the "lifetime of an anxiety disorder" as an adjective,...

In seeing multiple translations of the Bump of Chicken song Hello, world!, including the commercial one by Funimation, the phrase ご自分だけがヒーロー is translated as "I am the only hero" (Funimation) or "myself is the only hero" (here on AL), and I've yet to see a translation which doesn't reference...

Hey. I have a few minor questions about this one before submitting it. Orz But in the beginning, I'd like the word "kibau" in 6th stanza 3rd line in the romaji to be corrected. It should be "kibou". Link. And please change the footnote to '* written in the booklet as "kawaii ko", but sung as...

Hi. This is one of the easier songs, but I have a couple questions, and I need feedback on my translation style. あなたは誰なのだろう　こんなに揺れているの アタシは何故　眠れないのか教えて anata wa dare nano darou konna ni yurete iru no atashi wa naze nemurenai no ka oshiete I wonder who you are, as I'm trembling like this

Hi! ^^ I'm transliterating this song, and I got a few problems. First, the title. I'm not exactly sure how to read (and transliterate) this "word". 月輝希譚... From the first look, seems like four, or three separate words: "Tsuki Kagayaki Mare(or Gi?)-Hanashi" (or -banashi?). Also, what's the...

Hi! I need help with this. ^^ Tell me that meaning of the song Beautiful story that you know It looks like her story I can't never think of you (Delightful English Stanza)

aka Bawww song =P. Although I'm not a big fan of Visual Kei, but I used to love this song (despite its annoying riffage... Those VK bands don't even know what "harmony" means!! *shakes fist*) It's a bit old, but it's one of the rare songs that make me cry easily. Thus a "bawww song" XD *ehm* ...

So, I'm translating this song. Help and C&C (Command & Conquer) needed, appreciated and rewarded with real imaginary cookies. =] 見上げた空が闇へと誘われ 今宵また　月の光　閉ざされた The sky to which I raised my eyes was trapped in the darkness Tonight again, the moonlight has been sealed away 誰かが願う　祈りの言葉さえも

This time my problems are mostly with English vocabulary. If anything isn't right, please inform this poor soul. (Romaji here.) 「夢ならよかった」と 悔やんだ言葉を 夢へと返して "It's alright as long as it was a dream..." these words I mourned, send them back to the dream

If -霊- chan doesn't mind, I'd like to reformat the romaji to fit the translation since some lines are overly long in the translation. New formatting in spoiler. Note: I replaced double spaces with " " to preserve them here, but I'm not sure if this is going to work on your end. ...

So here is my problem. I used to listen to a song that was tied to a youtube video (a darksouls video from sansviedotcom, to be precise ),however, due to shenanigans that video has been deleted and ever since I have tried to find that song. There isn't much I can offer for clues. It is...

Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZwc21uNDxA&feature=youtube_gdata_player Kanji: 名前ひとつ持ってます　門の前で大公開 ここまで来た貴女方　聞いてください 現実問題どんなモン？知ってるくせに門違えて 呼んでくれてありがとう　でも違う　そうじゃない 初めてはあなたがいいわ　お慕い申します 抱いて抱いていい漢字

I think I was able to translate it okay on Babel Fish. Here's what I have on it: Mind… Even when Find… It seeks Shine… Very love Believe… Truth In order sad thing gets off and continuously for no one (one person) to do the appearance lonely and to pray if the sky is looked up, the dear smiling...

I was wondering if someone could help me review/proofread these translations? I love this series, but I was having trouble translating these two songs. Moreover, my Japanese is still at beginner level... I was having a lot of trouble with the bolded lyrics... Thank you so much! Midnight...
