Shinkai Summit/Heartbreak Summit

English lyrics have wrong parts.

Definitely, falling into pieces.

Definitely, looking through the sky.
"There, there."

If I were to look at you forever,
These feelings, for sure, would fade away.
But definitely, they would drown deep, deep in the ocean of my heart.
"What to do?"

I watched you grab my hands and run away,
But since I'm bored of it, I trampled that back of yours with my heavy feet.

That face distorted with pain is lovely, lovely.
I've already hurt you so many times.
"Please don't stop."

Is it because there's a reason that it became like this?
"Cut it out."
Shut up, whatever you say,
Just be quiet and follow me. Since you are me, right?

You were the one to break me down,
You then held my hands and raised them up.
"Say, you love me, right?"

Tidying things up one by one,
Let's pull away my hands that wait for you.
I killed the me that can exist only by himself.

Pulling your hands, we run away as there are many me's.
Even as a survivor, I'm not cool. Just stupid,
But being able to survive was a posibilityー No, absoluteness.
Thanks to you, I'm your shadow, always by your side.


"Say, you love me, right?" part has iu/iimasu which means to say, ie is say
since the japanese lyrics say boku, herself parts should be himself
almost all the time the kimi's and boku's were translated wrong (as in kimi parts were me/I and boku parts were you
eg: Just be quiet and follow me, since I am you right? should be Just be quiet and follow me. Since you are me, right?)

"Say, you love me, right?" part has iu/iimasu which means to say, ie is say

You're right about this and I'll fix it, though "Say" followed by a comma at the beginning of a sentence is usually just an interjection (it's a common translation of ねえ, if that helps explain it), so I would go with "Tell me" instead here.

since the japanese lyrics say boku, herself parts should be himself

Not necessarily. Plenty of female singers use "boku" and in the absence of any other evidence that the song is intended to be from a male POV, I would go with the assumption that the gender of the singer is the gender of the character in the song. I know it's a Vocaloid in this case, but Deco*27 could have written this song for Len or someone and he didn't, you know?

almost all the time the kimi's and boku's were translated wrong (as in kimi parts were me/I and boku parts were you

This doesn't appear to be true. The only place I notice an actual mistake with regard to who is the subject and/or who is the object of a particular sentence is in the line 何度も君を傷付ける, currently translated as "You already hurt it so many times" but more correctly "I've already hurt you so many times." I'll fix that. If occasionally the song says "kimi to boku" but the translation says "me and you," I really don't care.
