Obligatory moderator note - as much as it is nice to debate and discuss lyrics, questioning a translator's work is different. Tenshi does a very dedicated job voluntarily and keeping respectful of both the studies and experience she brings is the least anyone can do to thank her for her time. There is a way to suggest changes or discuss why a decision has been made in particular for a translation in a way that does not undermine her efforts.
Also, translation of art, like lyrics - especially for languages without a shared root, like English and Japanese - will always be something that can change from person to person, with valid reasons for each different choice. That's why you will always see some variation between the different translations posted to AHS. Tenshi has always welcomed different interpretations of lyrics to be posted so there is no need to begin challenging how knowledgeable she is of that fact.
Let's keep the rest of the thread civil. Thanks all!
