'alterna' romaji and translation

[masa]

Thanks for your comments, volton and ChildOfXX. How about this?

There were
Only a few things
Truly important and necessary
And the rest were mainly decorations

And I change "syukumei" to "shukumei".

And I feel like changing the phrase "That's all" to "That's what I say", because the Japanese phrase "Sore dake nano" is not so strong. How do you think about it?

[masa]

To Evolusean

It seems "comfort" is more suitable than "the peace of mind" as you say.

>I just couldn't quite wrap my brain around "Mou naite mo shukumei demo / Kaette'te miseyou ja nai." "Even if I still cry, even if it's fate / I'll show you that I changed it, won't I?" ?? Just sounds kinda funny, I'm sure I'm missing something.

I didn't translate the part "Mou naite mo", because this is just the part I couldn't catch clearly. And "--te miseru" is very difficult phrase to translate. This add the nuance of "I'll show you the result" to the whole sentence, but it's not so strong assertion. I think there is no such phrase in English. So I didn't translate this.

Thanks masa, you totally rock. What an amazing song!!! I really wish it was August 3 right now...

[herumesu]

Hey かおをそめるのなら (hey kao wo someru no nara)

this is what i hear.......

[black*cherry]

You're right, i hear the Hey, and then a "c ..." too, but still not the "come on"...

[sakamoko]

Totally! "--te miseru" always makes me sweat a little bit. It's simple enough to understand in Japanese, but it's so difficult to express in English. Maybe when the official lyrics come out, it will be a little more clear for us. Still, your romaji seem flawless to me, so maybe the official lyrics will be just as complex.

I think Masa's got it. I'm hearing an "H" sound and a distinct "ei" as opposed to "e", which would make "hey". You might be hearing "egao" because: the hard "C" sound and hard "G" sound are related, so sometimes they can be blurred; also, often when Ayu pronounces English words ending in "N," the "N" disappears a little bit. Listen very closely, I think you'll hear "hey come on", which does fit the lyrics.

"Egao" would make for an interesting lyric, though. "If your smiling face is going to blush...". But I'm not sure if the person she's singing to would be smiling, so much as scowling.
