STEP you/is this LOVE? Translations

[voltron]

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I don't remember Masa making his normal post about these translations, nor are they on his website. However, I stumbled upon them while looking at Divine Ayu today.

STEP you


Talking about nothing at all,
We acted in a moment and displayed our habits.
Though I don't have to remind myself not to forget,
From somewhere within me, fully...
wow oh oh oh oh no no no no
I remember YOU and ME

SO 1.2.3.4, one by one
1.2 STEP you, in this way
I want to know you well

SO 1.2.3.4, one by one
1.2. STEP you, in this way
No one can stop me now

wow wow so wow wow
oh wow wow so wow wow

1.2.3.4 YOU and ME?

"Where are you, what are you doing around this time?"
Right after I thought such things,
Even for just a moment,
I wanted you to remember me.
wow oh oh oh oh no no no no
I wished for YOU and ME

SO 1.2.3.4, for a while
1.2 STEP you, sometime soon
I am becoming greedy

1.2.3.4, for a while
1.2 STEP you, sometime soon
Will I begin to want only your smile?

wow wow so wow wow
oh wow wow so wow wow

The gap between idealism and reality
Is so very cutting
And as we cannot cut them off, they are opening up.
oh yeah yeah yeah

In this place, will we give up?
Or will we persevere and do our very best?
oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah

SO 1.2.3.4 YOU and ME?

SO 1.2.3.4, one by one
1.2 STEP you, in this way
I want to know you well

SO 1.2.3.4, one by one
1.2. STEP you, in this way
No one can stop me now

SO 1.2.3.4, for a while
1.2 STEP you, sometime soon
I am becoming greedy

1.2.3.4, for a while
1.2 STEP you, sometime soon
Will I begin to want only your smile?

wow wow so wow wow
oh wow wow so wow wow
wow wow so wow wow
oh wow wow so wow wow

1.2.3.4 YOU and ME?


is this LOVE


Whoa whoa yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Lalalala la-i
Lalalala la-i
Yeah yeah yeah...

Your gaze is so very tender as you stare at me
Over there, on that little flimsy chair.
With a gentle, happy face,
She agreed, smiling

While some kind of loud noise was building,
In my mind, it was as though it was collapsing
Unable to move, I just kept standing there

"Why isn't it me?" I asked, but
It's not some kind of foolish example.
You were there as I had never seen you before.
As I can only, only feel from far away,
How on earth can I express this emotion?

From time to time, the sorrow in your eyes
Would show me the reason, so...

That which can be given to you --
I can't give it; no one can.
Is it only that one person who is so understanding that can?

When do you first miss her?
About that time, I realized the truth.
I saw through the lies, and even if I pretend they are truth
It's just, just so excessively empty.
This feeling.... Is this known as "love"?

"Why isn't it me?" I asked, but
It's not some kind of foolish example.
You were there as I had never seen you before.
Did you feel it from far away?

When do you first miss her?
About that time, I realized the truth.
I saw through the lies, and even if I pretend they are truth
It's just, just so excessively empty.
This feeling is certainly known as "love", isn't it?

Whoa whoa yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Lalalala la-i
Lalalala la-i
Yeah yeah yeah...

this translation is really different to the another one posted few ago....

[lolo66]

hmmm....

who's right who's wrong?

[~Matt~]

i think the version posted before was right because it was translated by a japanese guy...

[stardusties]

I think divine ayu has interpretations, not that direct of translation..

All the translation on Divine Ayu (with the exception of this, I suppose) are either from wataru or masa. Wataru no longer translates Ayu songs, but his are excellent and far more clear/well translated than Masa's. Masa, on the other hand, is the one who has translated everything since Rainbow came out, and always puts a post with new lyrics. I don't know who translated these, maybe tomorrow I'll check them with the Japanese and see if they look like they're right. But I would think that these are closer to correct than what was previously posted...if I remember correctly the previous weren't even the full songs. They could have been on the "rumored" lyrics.

[lolo66]

okay

but on the other hand, there is only so much you can directly translate

[nmskalmn]

Just to clarify, those translations of STEP you and is this LOVE? are by someone named "Sakura Rain", not by masa.

i really don't like them... i prefer the other ones, sorry
