'criminal' romaji and translation

[masa]

I'm tired after translating three songs in a day. Good night.
----------------------------------------
Kimi no chinmoku ga nagaku tsuzuke ba tsuzuku hodo ni
Koe ni naranai sakebi ga kikoeru you de
Mune ga harisake sou

Doushite konna ni watashi wa hidoku muryoku de oroka de
Tsunaida hazu no te sae mo mamoru koto ga dekinai

Nee itsuka yurushite hoshii to wa iwanai
Sou kimi ga ima hitori tatakau no nara
Sore koso ga watashi e no aizu tashikana

Tsuyoku aritai to negau amari ni kimi wa namida to
Tomo ni nanika o kakushita watashi dake no tame ni

* Nee itsuka tadoritsuku darou ano basho e
Sou kimi ni tobikiri no keshiki misetai
Sore koso ga ashita e no aizu mirai e

* (repeat)
----------------------------------------
As your silence continues longer
I feel as if I heard your voiceless cry
And my heart would break

Why am I so powerless and stupid?
I can't even protect the hand I surely held

I don't ask you to forgive me some day
If you are fighting alone now
That's the definite sign for me

You wished to be strong so much
That you hid something with tears just for me

* You see? We will get to that place some day
I want to show you a superb view
That's the sign for tomorrow, our future

* (repeat)

sign for what? why's it so sad? i'm not quite getting what ayu means, lol.

[Sylphiel]

Also, a suggestion... I am pretty sure that "superfine" is not a word, and it sounds awkward.

[love_destiny_J]

thanks for the translation, masa. really lyk the lyrics.

[Yarumi]

wow such nice lyrics...

thanks for all your hard work masa... get a good nighte sleep... we all appreciate your kindness!


Yeah I think Ayu means she is the criminal for letting someone dear down... it is a sad song... before I saw the lyrics I know it was sad because of the infliction in Ayu's voice... this song is so wonderful!

What she's getting at is that if her lover is 'fighting' by himself, he no longer needs her, which means she's become more or less pointless :\

[truehappiness]

Yeah.. the CD DATA thingie said that Ayu meant for this song to be about being a criminal to yourself, rather than a criminal that steals little elephant toys <3 lol

[Peachilicious]

Thank you so much for the translation!

Although I agree with Sylphiel that "superfine" sounds very awkward. Perhaps "extraordinary" would be a better translation of "tobikiri"?
