Lyrics through Babelfish

Post by JonPorobil »

Okay, so I rarely listen to music sung in a language I can't understand, but I was quite enamored of the ending theme to a video game I finished playing last week, and then found out that it was the instrumental version of a song that was actually released as a single in Japan. I got a hold of the lyrics in Japanese and Romanized Japanese, but I can't find them translated anywhere.

Does anyone here know Japanese?

Japanese

あなたの方が知っていた 私が大事にしてたもの
また会えることを信じて 約束もせずに手を振った

車窓は 流れ出す景色の フレーム
そっとそっと 始まりを映し出し始める

二人で生きる理由を 貫くような眼差しで確かめ合った
今でも息衝く痛みは 記憶 それ以上の何か 誓いそのもの

あなたが置いた約束 そのままずっとかばってる
もう会えないと しても いつも 私の箱にしまっていく

それぞれの想いで 同じ唄を愛した
過ぎ行く時の 彼方に 響くメロディ

違う景色の中にも 同じ色が輝いてる ことを知ったの
背中合わせの間に ある 温もりをきっと感じていける

「失わずには前に進めない」 そんな想いも
手品みたいに 種を明かされることを待ってる

鉄路の先を辿って フレームは新しい 街を宿した
サヨナラを唄に出来たら また あなたに出会える どこにいても

違う景色の中にも 同じ色が輝いてる ことを知ったの
背中合わせの間に ある 温もりをずっと感じていける

Romanized Japanese

Anata no hou ga shitteita watashi ga daiji ni shitetamono
Mata aerukoto wo shinjite yakusoku mo sezu ni te wo futta

Shasou wa* nagaredasu keshiki no fureemu
Sotto sotto hajimari wo utsushidashi hajimeru

Futari de ikiru riyuu wo tsuranuku you na manazashi de tashikameatta
Imademo ikizuku itami wa* kioku sore ijou no nani ka chikai sono mono

Anata ga oita yakusoku sono mama zutto kabatteru
Mou aenai to shitemo itsumo watashi no hako ni shimatteiku

Sore zore no omoi de onaji uta wo aishita
Sugi yuku toki no kanata ni hibiku merodi

Chigau keshiki no naka ni mo onaji iro ga kagayaiteru koto wo shitta no
Senaka awase no aida ni aru nukumori wo kitto kanjiteikeru

"Ushinawazu ni wa* mae ni susumenai" sonna omoi mo
Tejina mitai ni tane wo akasarerukoto wo matteru

Tetsuro no saki wo tadotte fureemu wa* atarashii machi wo yadoshita
Sayonara wo uta ni dekitara mata anata ni deaeru doko ni ite mo

Chigau keishiki no naka ni mo onaji iro ga kagayaiteru koto wo shitta no
Senaka awase no aida ni aru nukumori wo zutto kanjiteikeru

* It's actually written "ha" but said "wa"

Using Babelfish:

I where your one has known have made important the thing
In addition believing that it can meet, either promise do, it shook the hand

As for the car window the frame of the view which flows out
It starts to start projecting start quietly quietly

To verify with the kind of look which carries out the reason which lives with two people
As for the pain which even now breathes something above that of memory you swear, the very thing

The promise which you put protecting that way directly, the [ru]
Assuming, that it cannot meet anymore, always, it keeps putting away in my box

The same 唄 was loved in thinking each one
When passing, the melody which echoes on the far side

The same color also in the view which is different shining, [ru] thing was known
It is between back to back, certainly it can keep warm feeling the [ri]

“Without losing, such it does not advance before” thinking
Waiting for the fact that kind is revealed the magic trick likely, the [ru]

Tracing ahead the railroad, the frame had new town
When [sayonara] it can make the 唄 and being wherever it can encounter you

The same color also in the view which is different shining, [ru] thing was known
It is between back to back, it can keep warm feeling the [ri] directly

It can be a fun game to use Babelfish to translate the lyrics of a popular song through several languages - then try to guess the original song.

What are these lyrics from: (English to Japanese to English)


there' If; Noise and don' of s.a of your both applying; As for t, It' Now you are surprised; Exactly general cleaning for the s May queen. It is, 2 these roads which you can go after all certain There' s still road you' Time is measured in order to change; Rhenium. And that does wonder in me.


Or this one (English - Chinese- English):

Mother, is killed a person, invests the gun to oppose that his head, fires at me, now hes dies, life mother, started, but the present goes and is thrown its Ive completely Aunt ooo, does not have meaning to make your cry, if Im will not have to support this time to continue again tomorrow, will continue, probably anything truly not critical time

Bohemian Rhapsody. Can't figure out the other one though.

That first one is Stairway to Heaven, isn't it? Hard to sneak "May Queen" through... though I think you lost some words due to apostrophes being treated as quote marks somewhere in the stream.

I used one of those internet translators for part of my lyric this week (the translation of the title into Latin) and just kept going back and forth with it until the English translation of the Latin phrase seemed to be what I was trying to say. And then I think I accidentally mis-copied one of the words onto the sheet music paper where I was working out the music...

Those were fun, C-Ray!

I'll go ahead and change the thread title if people want to post more of those... or maybe it should be a different thread in Monkey Business? I guess the mods will move it if it needs to be moved.

Here's one that no one will get:

You've got
A fucking cleft palette
And hair just like Gene Shallit
Wanna hit you with a mallet

Your teeth
Are parted to the side
You've got a lazy eye
Why don't you fucking die?

You're bow-legged
And walk around like Ray
With skin just like M.J.
And you're so fucking gay

You hang
Around at Farqua's Spa
With a nose like Jamie Farr
Wanna hit you with my car

You fucking freak.

I want the animal which likes me with your sexual intercourse wanting to feel you
from me to want with your sexual intercourse to like the animal my whole existence
having flaw inside you to obtain me
