and i am a native english speaker so i can do my best to attempt a good english translation 
glad you are somewhat(!) happy with the shikai translation anyway  |
ah, I see. I agree with you.
I thought it was needless to say that I care about the quality of my English as an end product of my translation.
What I repeatedly said was I'm not sure about how good my english is, and maybe I sounded too irresponsible. In that case, sorry for that. You taught me some of my words and expressions sound not natural, and I appreciate it because that's exactly what I want to know.
And I'm happy to hear that you're planning to make more translations of ayu's lyrics. In general, it's obvious that a better translation can be made by a native speaker of the language to which texts are translated. Good luck
