~What it would be in your language?~
One day I started to think about what Ayu's album and song names would be in Finnish. That was quite nice, and I thought why not make a thread about it? :3 And because I love to know about other languages, this is going to be fun!
[Sadly English speakers can't participate, but you guys can make some comments and stuff~] So the rules are simple: 1. List Ayu's album names/singles/songs in your language, with the original English name. 2. There isn't any limit. You can list as much/little the names you want. 3. It must not be word to word translation. If there are some words or pun that can't be translated, or it would sound funny in your language, it's okay to use creativity!~ 4. However try to keep the original meaning as much as possible. 5. You can also tell some extra information about some words/meanings etc. used in your language if you wanna! ^__^ So, let's start to learn different languages with Ayu!~ Albums: Laulu tuntemattomalle* [A Song For XX] * laulu = song//tuntemattomalle = to the unknown person I'm not using "xx" in this because it would look like this: xx:lle and that isn't very pretty, is it? Finnish uses a lot of case suffixes, that's why it's used like that~ RAKKAUSmestyy* [LOVEppears] * rakkaus = love/(il)mestyy = appears well this sounds pretty stupid in Finnish : P Työ/Velvollisuus* [Duty] * It depends which one is the meaning. Työ is more like in the case of working and velvollisuus is more like responsibility for something. (Minä) olen...* [I am...] * I = minä/olen = am In Finnish you can leave "I" out of the whole sentence if you want. "olen" tells that it's the singular 1st person. I can't explain this very well..^^; SATEENKAARI* [RAINBOW] * Sateen= rain(s)** kaari = bow **"sateen" is actually possessive suffix form of "sade" = rain Muistettava osoite/ Muistoaddressi/kirjoitus [Memorial Address] * Muistettava = Memorial// address = osoite** **First ones meaning is like "an address I must remember" Second is an address you send to a person who's died. I'm again confused with the meaning. Does she mean like and address that she must to remember or that kind of "address" you send to a died person? (MINUN) TARINANI* [MY STORY] * Again, it's the same phenomenon as in "I am..." You can leave "minun" off if you want to. (Väärin)ymmärretty [(Miss)understood] * Väärin** = miss//ymmärretty = understood ** can also mean "wrong" I'm really happy that this pun works in Finnish~ At least partly : P Salaisuus [Secret] This sounds so pretty in Finnish I think~ SYYLLINEN* [GUILTY] Interestingly this is a derivative from Finnish word for reason, syy SEURAAVA TASO (UUSI TASO)* [NEXT LEVEL] * seuraava = next/level = taso ** Uusi = new I Included alternative, because if you say in Finnish that "Someone take x thing in to whole next level" we actually say "Someone take x thing in to whole new level" it's just more common~ Rakkauslauluja [Love Songs] Lol, in Finnish this sounds like Jari Sillanpää album X,D Songs: Luottamus [Trust] TULLA* [TO BE] * "tulla" can also mean "come"] Trauma [Trauma] Haha, fooled you! : P Peilillinen Maailma [Mirrorcle World] peilillinen = mirrorcle (try to say that one!) maailma = world ** Interestingly, maailma has two Finnish words comibined into one = maa = ground and ilma = air kohtalo [fated] kimmellys [glitter] Yhdessä kun... [Together when...] Together = yhdessä// when = kun uudelleenSYNTYMÄ [reBIRTH] uudelleen = re/again// syntymä = birth Rakkauden merkitys [meaning of Love] rakkaus = love /merkitys = meaning** **"merkitys" is derivative from merkki = mark Älä katso taaksesi [Don't look back] Älä = don't // katso = look// taaksesi = at your back Hyppää! [Jump!] KUU [MOON] Yeah, I know what some Kuu fans are thinking :D anteeksianto [forgiveness] anteeksi = forgive anto = to give, to let ILOTULITUS* ~episodi II~ [HANABI ~episode II~] *Interestingly the word to word translation for Finnish term of fireworks is "Happy fireshooting" :D Silta taivaalle [Bridge to the sky] Silta = bridge// taivaalle = to the sky kaikkialla ei missään [Everywhere nowhere] kaikkialla = everywhere// ei missään= nowhere Hyräillen 7/4 [Humming 7/4] hyräillen = to hum this is pretty cute in Finnish~ Sieppaaja valossa [Catcher in the light] catcher = sieppaaja// valossa = in the light JALOKIVI* [JEWEL] * Literal translation would be "fine stone" ASKELLUS sinuun* [STEP you] * we thought this a long time with my sis, and this was best one we could come with. Since it's completely Engrish, it is quite funny in it's own right but well~ This isn't accurate translation. It means Step into you accurate would be "ASKEL sinä" but that's just stupid XD Kukkatarha [Flower garden] kukka = flower tarha = garden So pretty~<3 TAIVAS [HEAVEN] Ylpeys [Pride] Nuket [Dolls] rikollinen [criminal] a derivative from rikkoa "to break something" Maailmanloppu [End of the World] Maailman = world's// loppu =end sanaakaan sanomatta* [no more words] * This is more like "without saying any words" ei enää sanoja is more accurate one. aamunkoitto/sarastus [Daybreak] both mean the same thing. literal translation for aamunkoitto is morning's coming. EI ENÄÄN KOSKAAN [NEVER EVER] Rakkain [Dearest] Loppumaton uni* [Neverending dream] Ikusuuden* uni* [Everlasting dream] * ikuisuus= everlasting * loppumaton= neverending// dream= uni Neitsytmatka [Voyage] Literal translation would be "Virgin travel" |
^I have to say, "Laulu tuntemattomalle" is an interesting translation, I wouldn't have come up with that first. It's a good one too, though I might rather go with "Laulu hänelle", because I think it implies more clearly that the song is targeted at someone. But there's nothing wrong with your translation, I think it depends on how one interprets the lyrics. :)
But now that I started writing here, I guess I'll have to throw in a couple of translations of my own. :P Here goes nothing... (neiti)ymmärretty (miss)understood Sounds a bit dumb, doesn't it? I think this is the best translation Finnish language can offer, it's just too bad that the sort-of pun of miss understood/misunderstood can't really be translated into Finnish. SEURAAVA TASO NEXT LEVEL I think this sounds pretty. Keinumis- ja pyörimissirkus / Kivi- ja pyörimissirkus (rock=keinua/kivi, roll=pyöriä) Rock'n'Roll Circus As literal as a translation can possibly be. XD Maybe I'm the only one who finds it funny that "rock'n'roll" can easily be interpreted as something completely other than the music genre. :P If you want a less literal translation, it'd be "Rock'n'Roll-Sirkus". But isn't that a lot more boring. ;) Sinun takiasi Because of You Neitsyttie Virgin Road Finns LOVE combining words, we have tons of words that are written together whereas in other languages they would be separate. Silta taivaaseen (silta=bridge, taivas=sky) Bridge to the Sky I think it's funny that the title has only two words in Finnish while it's four in English. It's because 'taivaaseen' (to the sky) has the ending '-seen' (the basic form of the word sky would be 'taivas') which implies heading for somewhere. In English this is done with prepositions, but in Finnish it's slapped at the end of the world. |
It's interesting, but honestly, i don't want to translate titles in French, it would sound soooo stupid and fugly >_< And since some Ayu's titles are pure Engurish, it doesn't mean anything :roflmao
For example, Memorial address, doesn't mean anything in French, with a word-to-word translation, it would be "Adresse Commémorative" ... really ugly... sounds better in english XD BUT some titles (meaningfull) are quite "normal" : RAINBOW = Arc-en-ciel (yeah, like the visual-kei band XD) I am... = Je suis... (miss)understood = (in)comprise [the pun with "miss" and "mis-" can't be translated] GUILTY = coupable Virgin Road = route vierge Because of You = À cause de toi HEAVEN = Paradis Endless sorrow = Chagrin Infini is this LOVE? = Est-ce de l'amour ? ourselves = Nous-mêmes etc... And some words are almost or exactly the same in French XD : evolution = évolution independant = indépendant Voyage = voyage Moments = moments INSPIRE = inspire (from "inspirer" ... ) Marionette = marionnette (yeah don't know why only 1 "n" ... ) Microphone BALLAD = Ballade montage LABYRINTH = labyrinthe Secret criminal = criminel vogue SURREAL = surréaliste Prologue SIGNAL Present = Présent (it means the same ... the gift or the tense) Voilà ^^ |
Lol! Some interesting names so far, and Laulu tuntemattomalle is such an epic name.
I'm so crap at languages but here goes my epic fail chinese : pu ke lian - poker face fei gao - fly high huo hua - sparkle zhen wo - real me i guess i listed all the easy ones cas i'm just not good at translating all the hard ones :3 |

LOL at your demostration of RNC X,D |
Quote:
I think it's fun to think rock'n'roll more literally when you're listening to the album. ;3 I'd sure like to see how it would literally be in other languages. Heavenly: I have no idea why you're saying French makes the titles sound fugly. I think some of them sound cooler in French! For example, "surréaliste" sounds great (if my inner voice is pronouncing it correctly... I've never studied French)! |
Here's my try at it in Japanese
A Song for xx [xxへの歌] RAINBOW [虹] GUILTY [罪って] Because Of You [あなたのせいで] I am... [私は。。。] Last angel [ラストの天使] sweet season [甘い季節] my name's WOMEN [私の名前はオンナー] Secret [秘密] Sparkle [キラキラ] HEAVEN [天国] Love songs [愛の歌] (I think that's all I have! :laugh) |
A Song for XX: Una canción para XX
LOVEppears: AMORaparece Duty:¿Destino? I am...:Yo soy... RAINBOW:ARCO IRIS Memorial Adress:¿Dirección memorial? MY STORY:MI HISTORIA (miss) understood:(mal) entendidos Secret: Secreto GUILTY: CULPABLE NEXT LEVEL:SIGUIENTE NIVEL Rock'n'Roll Circus: Circo Rock and Roll Love Songs: Canciones de amor |
Wow, cool thread :D I'll go to translate her album titles into italian language.
A Song for XX: Una canzone per XX / Una canzone per uno sconosciuto Literaly means A Song for XX. Una (A) canzone (song) per (for) XX. But it doesn't sound that good, so it would sound more nicer Una canzone per uno sconosciuto (A song for a stranger). LOVEppears: AMOREappare AMORE (love) appare (appears). Lol it sounds so lame and funny in italian language. Duty: Dovere Nothing strange here. I am...: Io sono... Io (I) am (sono). RAINBOW: Arcobaleno Aww it is adorable even in italian lol. Memorial Address: Discorso commemorativo This is hard to translate, but overall would be Discorso (Address) Commemorativo (Memorial). And it sounds better in english. MY STORY: La mia storia. La mia (MY) storia (story). Storia can be used as story and history both in italian. (miss)understood: Signorina Incompresa / (in)compresa If you count the word jokes with miss + misunderstood, would be Signorina (Miss) Incompresa (misunderstood). A really cute title imo, really 50s (during '50s/60s we used to call every famous girl, Signorina + what she's famous for. For example, the woman who announce tv programs during evening was called 'Signorina Buonasera' (Miss Good-evening). And we still use it, but not so often). But if you translate without the joke it's just incompresa (feminine for misunderstood). Secret: Segreto. It sounds nice :D GUILTY: Colpevole Another nice title :yes NEXT LEVEL: Prossimo Livello / Livello Superiore. It means Prossimo (Next) Livello (Level). But it's used for videogames most, if you reach a new level. So Livello Superiore sounds better and it means what Ayu want to express with NL album. It means something new, something different and maybe better than before. Rock 'n' Roll Circus: Circo Rock 'n' Roll. Lol well, nothing changes from english version. Just the word Circus -> Circo. Love songs: Canzoni (songs) d'amore (of love) _________ The songs that sounds more nice in italian, for me: HOPE or PAIN: Speranza (Hope) o (or) Dolore (Pain). blossom: bocciolo MOON: Luna Bridge to the Sky: Ponte (Bridge) verso (to) il (the) Cielo (Sky). HEAVEN: Paradiso JEWEL: Gioiello Pride: Orgoglio HONEY: Miele Dolls: Bambole Flower Garden: Giardino (Garden) Fiorito (Flower, but we use Fiore for flower itself) lol sorry for the very long post :roflmao |

NEXT LEVEL should be NÄCHSTES LEVEL, shouldn't it? It's das Level so it should be nächstes? :) Just wondering, since it looks weird :laugh oh and (miss)understood could also be (miss)verstanden, since some people might say Miss, instead of fräulein ^^ |
I ever make a translation of ayu's title in my language in my blog, so I think I just copy-paste here :p It's Indonesian :innocent

And "Monochrome" also can be "schwarz-weiß". |

あなたと言って means like.. "when talking about you", or "about you", but I'm not sure if "because of you" has a perfect translation without any context. Perhaps simply あなたから. But without context it's pretty fail. 甘いの頃, you can leave out the の because 甘い is an i-adjective, therefor links directly to the noun without a の. Also perhaps 季節 (きせつ) is a better word for "season" since Ayu uses it in her lyrics all the time. Sorry for this :laugh but I just hope it'll help you! :yes |
Well... My Mother language is Spanish but it's already been done, so I am doing the Catalan translations instead because I speak it very fluently (or at least this is what -almost- everybody says... :innocent). So, here I go~!

Will = Voluntat WONDERLAND = País de les maravelles You were... = Vas ser... YOU = Tu (Almost) same in English and Catalan titles criminal immature = immatura independent Interlude = Interludi Introduction = Introducció Moments part of Me = part de mi Prologue = Pròleg SURREAL Trauma ~~~~~~~ @YuriChan: I hope you don't mind some corrections... But I think "Sweet Season" in Japanese would be 甘い季節 "amai kisetsu", "A Song for xx" would be XXへの歌 "XX he no uta" and "Because of You" should be あなたのせいで "anata no sei de". The rest I'd say are okay :) And... that's all. Sorry for the long post!! :laugh :laugh :laugh |

The ~for TA~ part for RED LINE would be TAのため "TA no tame", I think.

But I'm always impressed when I read poems by Goethe, Schiller and other German poets, because they were able to handle the language so well and create beautiful works with it. I tried to write a German poem once and failed completely. I prefer to write my poems (and short stories) in English, because it's such a beautiful language, in my eyes! :heart |
don't think like this!! if i have to choose one language that makes literature deeper, stronger , more interesting it's surely German. It's an amazing language.

Wow, that's the first time that a non-German speaking person told me that. I mostly only get things like "German is such a rigorous language." and "German words sound so chopped off!" :D But that's very nice of you to say. It's not that I reli hate my language, it's just that I think that there are more beautiful languages out there - like English, Italy, Japanese, French. @xLuna&1LOVE: Wow, I would have never thought that Dutch and German have so many things in common. I'm quite sure that I mispronounce most of the titles ;) but I can understand a lot of them, when I just read them!! :yes |

And if you reli want to translate all the titles into your own language, then you have to do it with all the words! We do say "Level" in German, but it's still an English word. But I don't want to start arguing here because of something like that. I guess, both words are okay! ;) |

Second one: will look in a dictionairy, I think you are right. Midori-chan Haha, I have got a Japanese friend who tried to say 'Scheveningen' (that's just a town in the Netherlands) .... he couldn't. Yes, it cool, eh? That german and dutch have lots in common. Allthough we can easily read our languages, somehow: speaking and understanding it could be a problem. |

So, if you want, i make it in French : Spoiler:
Some words are really difficult to translate, so if someone want to correct what I wrote, or add something, just do it ^^ PS: "(e)" means the adjective or noun is FEMININE "(s)" means the adjective or noun is PLURAL |
^I was going to translate some into French, but I wouldn't be able to help myself to cheat off of you. xD French is so pretty. :heart
|
Oh my god. The french titles just sound lovely! ... I know how to pronounce it, so :)
|
haha the dutch 'mevrouw dynamiet' sounds hilarious! xD
|
I really hate the finnish translations for those names. They never sound as cool as the english ones. :D
But I really want to translate every single one lol: Spoiler:
I didn't translate the titles for Love songs yet. I want the official track listing to be revealed before I do so but as soon as possible that happens (and it'll be soon) I will come visit this thread again and translate those :3 |

for example french sounds like a "sweet" language but in literature german is surely sweeter than french. It depends on the contest too. |

Oh wow, I thought about trying to translate some more titles to Finnish but it seems everyone beat me to the punch. :P I'd really like to throw in tons of comments but 'cause I'm pretty tired (and don't want to seem like a horrible, mean nitpicker), I'll just say that I love most of drdolce's translations (you've come up with some brilliant and poetic ones! Not that the others wouldn't have, you just had a notable amount of them :)).
@Eewyi: Lol'd @ pokka. XD That's a great one! Reminds me of Irina but I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. :D |

I had really little to do this evening...

I've been thinking about ayu titles in Japanese, and I found something really cool. Lots of her recent titles, when put into Japanese, are actually the original English titles. :D Hard to explain in words, maybe the examples below will help. I did RnRC album~
Readings of the Japanese are given in (brackets) Spoiler:
It's really cool, it's like she's becoming international with these titles that are identical in both Japanese and English! :D That was fun, will do more if I'm bored later lol!! :P |

here's Hmong. it'll look so weird to me though, but sound pretty cool... my language is quite... odd, that's why i have english titles for my hmong songs, LOL.

Oh, and I checked that too. It seems that at least when searching the word "puuterilumi" Google gives a lot more searchs than word "pulverilumi" [puuterilumi gives 17 600 and pulverilumi just 977] Also, I checked my English dictionary, and powder snow's official translation is puuterilumi, it doesn't even mention such word as "pulverilumi". However, when searching [from dictionary] word "powder" it gives the following words: jauhe, pulveri, puuteri, ruuti, puuterilumi It might be some slang term then? For my point of view puuterilumi is much more common and also officially used one [and also more beautiful, pulveri remainds me of those washing powders : D] Sorry if I sounded harsh, but I just wanted to point out : P |

Wishing - Życzenie / Pragnienie As if... - Tak jakby... / Jak gdyby.... Poker Face - Twarz Pokerzysty (mamy takie wyrażenie, czyli twarz nie zdradzająca żadnych emocji), ewentualnie Kamienna twarz POWDER SNOW - Sypki śnieg (o dziwo Suchy śnieg, definicja słownikowa Oxford PWN) Depend on you - Polegając na tobie End Roll - Nie wydaje mi sie by chodziło o zwój, zawsze mi sie zdawało, że to są 'napisy końcowe', takie co jadą w filmie z góry na dół, ale ani słownik ani google tego nie potwierdzają, cała piosenka jest o końcu i rozstaniu, więc by pasowało, ale nie wiem. Duty - zawsze sobie tłumaczyłam jako Powinność, ładnie brzmi ;) - opening Run - nie wiem, ale początkowy bieg brzmi dziwnie, run jako rzeczownik ma 13 znaczeń, np w teatrze, to have a long run znaczy być długo granym, więc może coś w tą stronę bardziej, ale nie mam konkretnego pomysłu Connected - Połączeni (jeśli nie po(d)łączeni) - Endless Sorrow ~gone with the wind ver.~ - Niekończący się Smutek ~przemineło z wiatrem~ (skoro tak film przetłumaczyli ;) ) - walking proud - chodząc dumnie (musiałoby być chyba walking proudly), raczej chodząca duma - wonderland - cudowna kraina / kraina cudów - fairyland - baśniowa kraina (nie to samo co wonderland ^^) In The Corner - w narożniku - kiss o' kill - o' podejrzewam jest skrótem od "or" więc raczej pocałuj albo zabij - Bold & Delicious - Zuchwała i wyborna - STEP you - n/a but literally it would be NADEPNĄĆ cię - this one made me laugh ^^ but I don't know myself how to translate it - my name's WOMEN - moje imie KOBIETY (or KOBIETA if "E" it's literal mistake) Ayu stated in interview that it's not a mistake, but maybe "Mam na imie KOBIETY". Kiedyś rozważaliśmy czy ten apostrof s ('s) nie określa przynależności, ale wyszło nam coś w stylu "Kobiety moich imion", haha :D Btw, zsubowałam kilka piosenek Ayu, po polsku, może ktoś chciałby rzucić okiem, ocenić, czy brzmi to dobrze. These are just polish subbed Ayu videos for polish people to check if they are interested ;) Don't look back Alterna You were Glitter Fated Dearest Endless Sorrow Winding Road Namie Amuro - Full Moon |
I'll continue my translation business~
RAKKAUDEN näyttämö* [LOVEppears] Spoiler:
So, what you think my Finnish friends? : P I will translate more in this same post when I have time~ |
I don't know if there's any translation in Portuguese in this thread so I'll share some ^_^.
MOON = Lua blossom = flor Virgin Road = Estrada Virgem Sweet Season = Doce Estação Last Angel = Último Anjo NEXT LEVEL = Próximo Nível GUILTY = Culpada Secret = Segredo (miss)understood= (mal)entendido My Story = Minha História Memorial Adress = Endereço Memorial Rainbow = Arco-íris I am.. = Eu sou .. Duty= Dever Loveppears = O amor apareceu or O amor surgiu A song for XX = Uma música para XX or Uma canção para XX |
LËTZEBUERGESCH - LUXEMBOURGISH
A Song for XX -> E Lidd fir XX FRIEND -> Frênd YOU -> DU Fly high -> héich fléien And then -> an dann Boys & Girls -> Jongen & Meedercher Far away -> wäit fort I am... -> ech sin...

Actually when reading them.. I kinda like them! At first I was very skeptical but now I really like it in Swedish. ^^ @Benikari47 It's funny how Swedish & Danish is so similar! Also. I don't think I realized that there were a lot of finnish fans here until just now XD |

It seems in a lot of languages moon is more like lunar. Interesting. ^_^ Makes me wonder why in English, it's the word "moon". :/
