Translation practice: Akiba KICK - Here We Go (feat. 鏡音リン)
This is just a random song I heard on Vocaloid Radio and decided to try to translate.
As far as I can tell, the track was released on VOCALO.ID 4, a compilation of Vocaloid music by Indonesian artists. The CD is available on Amazon Japan and a few other places. There doesn't appear to be any other place to listen to it in full.
The romaji lyrics I'm using come from VocaDB, which cites the album liner notes as the source.
Bear in mind that my Japanese comprehension is still pretty terrible, so I might be getting things completely wrong in here.
Romaji lyrics from VocaDB | Best guess kana/kanji interpretation | English translation attempt |
---|---|---|
Itami wo iyashi nagara susunde yuku ima anata to unmei wo kanjite mitaiyo | 痛みを癒しながら進んで行く 今あなたと運命を感じて見たいよ | I keep moving forward while my pain heals. Now, I want to try to experience a destiny with you. |
Muri wo shinnaide sono mama de ite Watashi tachi no chikara Gogatsu no hizashi no you ni Futari naraba | 無理をしないでそのままでいて 私たちの力 5月の日差しのように 二人ならば | We won't push too hard; we'll stay just like this. Our strength Will be like the sunshine in May If we can be together. |
Jikan wo tomete moshi yurusareru nara Watashi wa modotte mi mo sezu ni arukitaikara Iku shite ikimasu | 時間を止めて もし許されるなら 私は戻って見もせずに歩きたいから 畏懼していきます | I'd stop time, if it would make you forgive. I return, because I want to walk without even looking. I'm afraid. |
Ikite iku yuuki misete Warai toki mo Kimim no tame ni chikara ni naru hito de yo Ima o ikiteru | 生きて行く勇気見せて 笑い時も 君のために力になる人でよ 今を生きてる | I'll show the courage to continue living. Even when I laugh, I'll be someone strong for you. I'll keep on living this present. |
Notes:
- I'm guessing "shinnaide" is a typo for しないで (shinai de). Similarly, I'm pretty sure "kimim" is a typo for きみ (kimi).
- I'm not entirely sure that the み in "mi mo sezu" is actually 見, or that いくして is actually 畏懼して. Those are the meanings from the dictionary that made the most sense to me at a glance, but there might be better ones.
