Ringing evil phone (full ver.) translation

Japanese lyrics at the very end, taken from this post from an official enstars account. Feel free to let me know about any mistakes or ask any questions about the translation

English

Ringing evil phone Hello Fingers coming and going, linger over the secret dial The borderline of reason, a perilous borderline The moment where anticipation surpasses unease is soon Steping over the borderline, a line connecting worlds The mood on the other side of the receiver makes your breath stop Without thinking a smile slips out Slips out Still can’t break the ice with that trembling voice? Don that mismatched courage Who’s calling please? Shall I hear you out? Now Ringing evil phone The unspoken wishes held hidden in your heart Aah, such delicious looking soul isn’t it? Calling-Calling your request as precisely as possible… Is what you want me to fulfill right? Compensation is that all-time fare, I couldn’t possibly deceive you Let me hear it once you’re ready Voice sounding YES to the contract Shame, if you had left it up to a deity there would have been no cost Resemblance becomes the mistaken secret line, destined secret line Succumbing to temptation is taboo right? Make sure to note down your responsibility Selected secret line, welcome, you’re out of luck Your voice becomes a bit less reserved Dangerously cute Cute Don’t pretend to be a good kid until it’s impossible Let’s enjoy the trickery alright? Whose fault is it? Let’s get to business then Now Ringing evil phone The wishes you can’t give up on held hidden in your heart Aah, such lonesome looking soul isn’t it? Calling-Calling leave it to me, everything just as you desire Because I’ll make sure to make it come true Let’s keep negotiations verbal and come to an accord Let me hear it from your very own lips Ringing evil phone… Voice sounding YES to the contract, Voice sounding YES to the contract Ringing evil phone… Hey, it doesn’t matter the excuse Pick them all up and come to accept it Hey, that sort of patience Both your heart And body Are not made for it You’ve realized already right? Ringing evil phone The unspoken wishes held hidden in your heart Aah, such delicious looking soul isn’t it? (Now) Calling-Calling leave it to me, everything just as you desire Because I’ll make sure to make it come true Let’s keep negotiations verbal And come to an accord Let me hear it from your very own lips Voice sounding YES to the contract Ringing evil phone

Looking at Saiyuki made me remember that I want to repost my Saiyuki songs cover after I accidentally delete my blog. Translating Saiyuki songs are something I like to do in my free time. My Japanese is not that good but I did my best. Sorry if sometimes the translations aren't that accurate. Had to adjust things to match the song too. But all in all, I hope you can enjoy them!

Let's start with this song.

Alone by Mikuni Shimokawa

Gensomaden Saiyuki, 2nd Ending theme

youtube

日本語

乾いた風が吹く

街は凍えている

いくつの季節がそっと音もなく

過ぎ去ったのだろう

行き交う人は皆

重い荷物背負って

遠くに揺れるかげろうの中に

明日を見つける

この手をこぼれ落ちる

砂のような感情

あの時胸に刺さった

言葉がふいに疼くけど

果てない夜を数えながら

自分の破片(かけら)探していた

失う程にこの思いが

確かになってく

今ならきっと歩いていけるどこまでも

どうしてこの空は

こんなに広いのだろう

叫んでみても声にならなくて

涙があふれた

自由に風切って

鳥たちは何処へ行くの？

過ごした時間のように

同じ場所に戻れない

このまま夢をあきらめても

高鳴る鼓動おさえきれない

いつかはきっと近付きたい

あの雲の高さ

もう一度心に翼広げ旅立とう

必ずたどりつけるはず

果てない夜を数えながら

自分の破片(かけら)探していた

失う程にこの思いが確かになってく

今ならきっと歩いていけるどこまでも

English Translation

The city is getting colder

The dry breeze is coming through

Seasons passing by without even a single sound

I wonder how long has it been?

The people coming and going

Bearing the burdens on their own

Walking under the heat, their eyes set far into the distance

Still searching for a tomorrow

This life, it feels like sand in my hands

Spilling through my fingers and fall

Things from the past that pierced my heart

Starting to throb with pain again, but now…

I’m finding the broken pieces of myself

I’ve lost count of the never ending nights all the way

And as I go, these feelings became so certain

I feel like losing myself

I’m sure, I know, I’ll go on forward however far it takes me

As I look up, I wonder

If there is an end to the sky

My heart cries out loud, but nothing came out of my voice

Coming down is only tears

The birds are free, they fly with the wind

I wonder where their wings will bring them to?

Cause like the time that has gone by

They cannot return to the place they once were

So even if I give up all my dreams like this

The soaring of my heartbeat continues on

I wanna fly and someday be able to reach

As high as the clouds

So once again, I’ll spread the wings of my heart wide and fly high to the sky

I’m sure, I know I will be able to reach

I’m finding the broken pieces of myself

I’ve lost count of the never ending nights all the way

And as I go, these feelings became so certain

I feel like losing myself

I’m sure, I know, I’ll go on forward however far it takes me

Hello, all

I've opened up a blog dedicated to Japanese lyric translations! Although I studied Japanese in university, my degree program was quite limited so I've only done song translations for fun/practice. There were times where I posted my translations in the comments of music videos but I thought I'd finally try sharing them in one place. After all, being able to read other people's translations of Japanese music helped me understand and appreciate songs much more and even inspired to me to start learning Japanese.

That being said, I'm not quite fluent in the language so there are bound to be mistakes. I'm open to constructive critiques and will happily review my translations and correct them accordingly.

I will do my best to fulfill any requests that I receive, but due to the lyrical and often vague nature of Japanese songs there may be instances where I cannot complete a translation.

Note: this is a side blog; main blog is @the-write-to-cry, a sort of writeblr/bookblr hybrid.

翻译歌词 / Song translations #1

求救讯号 / I’m Not OK - VH (Vast & Hazy)

(song title literally translates to “distress signal” or “S.O.S.”)

小小的那个我不太懂诉说

My younger self, didn’t really know how to say it

老躲在泡泡中静静看世界日升花落

Always hiding in the bubbles, quietly watching the world rise and fall

想找个柔软的地方栖留

Wanting to find a soft place to stay

海洋云朵或整个宇宙

The ocean, the clouds, or the entire cosmos

噩梦又来过害怕梗在喉头

The nightmare comes again, fear stuck in my throat

谁来接住我否则我将无止尽坠落

Will someone catch me, or will I fall endlessly?

所有景象中都在寻求

In all of my sights, I’ve been looking for it

渴望的温暖在谁的怀中

The love I want, whose arms will I find it in?

拥抱我告诉我我没有错

Hug me, tell me I’m not wrong

我值得占有你的爱你的痛

I deserve it, your love, your pain

放开我让我想笑就笑想哭就哭个够

Let go of me, if I laugh let me laugh, if I cry let me cry

请你爱我

Please love me

拥抱我告诉我我没有错

Hug me, tell me I’m not wrong

我值得占有你的爱你的痛

I deserve it, your love, your pain

放开我让我想笑就笑想哭就哭个够

Let go of me, if I laugh let me laugh, if I cry let me cry

我会等候

I will wait

#took some liberties with this #some phrases/words i had to google translate but a lot of it is from my understanding #温暖 literally translates to ‘warmth’ but i think love more accurately captures the meaning of the song #also it’s originally in traditional Chinese so i had to first translate that lol #also the music video for this is pretty awesome highly recommend :)#翻译歌词 #中文 #*#song translations #vast & hazy

黄砂に吹かれて [kousa ni fukarete | Blown With the Yellow Sand] by Umehara Yuuichirou, originally performed by Kudou Shizuka

黄砂, known in English by such names as Asian Dust, yellow sand, and yellow wind, are dust storms originating in China and blowing over much of East Asia. They occur year-round, but more often in the spring.

黄砂に吹かれて　きこえる歌は The song that blows in with the yellow sand to reach my ears— 忘れたくて　忘れた I wanted to forget you, and I did; なくしたくて　なくした　つらい恋の歌 I wanted to be rid of you, and I was— A bitter song of love.

眠りを破って　きこえる歌は The song that disrupts my sleep to reach my ears— わかってる　つもりの I had meant to understand it; 紛らせてる　つもりの　ひとつだけの歌 It was meant to be a distraction— That single song.

もう蜃気楼なのかもしれない Ah, it may just be a mirage— 片思いかもしれない A one-sided love.

あなたに似てる人もいるのに Though there are other people who are like you, あなたより　やさしい男も And men who are kinder than you; 砂の数より　いるのにね Though they number more than all the grains of sand— 旅人 I am a traveler.

黄砂に吹かれて　さまよう旅は The wandering journey that blows with the yellow sand— 地下を深く流れる　澄んだ水に似ている Like the crystalline water flowing deeply beneath the earth— 終わりのない旅 A never-ending journey.

微笑ずくで　終わらせた恋が That love that had been ended with nothing more than a smile 夢の中　悲鳴あげる Lets out its dying wail within my dreams.

あなたに似てる人もいるのに Though there are other people who are like you, あなたより　やさしい男も And men who are kinder than you; 砂の数より　いるのにね Though they number more than all the grains of sand— 旅人 I am a traveler.

「うそつき」「うそつき」「うそつき」「うそつき」こみあげる Liar, liar, liar, liar! —That word wells up, nauseous, within my heart.

（答えて）もらえばよかったのに Though I wish I could have heard your answer, きくのが恐かった名前 I know it was a name that I was afraid to hear: 私じゃない　名前だもの A name that wasn’t mine. 笑顔で終わった　あの日から Ever since the day that it all ended with a smile— 旅人 I am a traveler.

#song translations #umehara yuuichirou #kudou shizuka #i'm no poet but i had fun w this one lol #(as probably evidenced by the number of em dashes; i do so love them)#and it should hopefully be close to the feeling of the original song

"Bouquet for an angel" by Amatsuki Feat. Honeyworks English Lyrics ♡

"Hundreds and thousands of angels, and your gaze is what I'm dying for"

Notice my I LOVE YOUs!

Hundreds and thousands of angels,

And your gaze is what I'm dying for

You definitely looked at me

Peace!

=====

Got the double-digit ticket numbers, best moment of my life

Thank you, thank you, thank you God

Got the worst digit ticket numbers, but still going

I'll get through this month if I work harder in my part-time jobs

=====

Hey... Me...

Umm... This is what they call "impossible love"...

That's the truth...

But... but... but...

I really like her...

=====

Notice my I LOVE YOUs!

Hundreds and thousands of angels,

And your gaze is what I'm dying for

You definitely looked at me Peace!

=====

My I LOVE YOUs didn't reach you

It's true that there are tens of thousands of angels

S-s-splash you with all the colors of

My favorite bouquet of flowers

=====

Bouquet for an angel

=====

Release of new songs, tour announcements

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the staffs

=====

Hey... Me...

Umm... I'm definitely not an old-timer...

And yet...

More than anyone... more than anyone... more than anyone...

I love her...

=====

Are my I LOVE YOUs getting annoying?

Hundreds and thousands of angels

I don't want you to be sad

Please be absolutely happy Peace!

My I LOVE YOUs finally reached you

The best smiling angel in a field of flowers

S-s-splash you with all the colors of

My favorite bouquet of flowers

=====

I could always go and meet you but

Ah Concerts (right now) are temporary (only lasts a moment)

=====

Notice my I LOVE YOUs!

That's unfair, my angel

Ah Your gaze is what I'm always dying for

You definitely looked at me Peace!

My I LOVE YOUs failed to reach you

It's true that there are tens of thousands of angels

S-s-splash you with all the colors of

My favorite bouquet of flowers

=====

Bouquet for an angel

Translation for Hongmao Lantu Qi Xia Chuan’s ending song! And it should also be mostly singable too.

I still haven’t added the karaoke effects yet but once I do that’d likely be the version I use for the actual fansub project.

On an semirelated note, I hate translating songs...

Dreaming Architecture (夢見るアーキテクチャ) - Mika solo translation

Japanese lyrics used are at the very end. Feel free to let me know about any mistakes or ask any questions about the translation

English

… Avec amour, pour toi Hugh tightly in the deepest part of your chest, the furthest confines of this world Dig up the light reflected in from the outside and look up at the sky The guidance has no form, it is a string that only the soul feels As it pulls and attracts each other Eventually it even strings together the distance between fate Continue carving the life that fills with color even the tips of your fingers Emotions are a tender pain Depict and build, while modeling this body of mine A warped architecture that keeps on dreaming forever The craved instinct and the desired joy Or could it be the all we can call the meaning of being alive, to know oneself Born ambiguously to this world, it took on a vivid purpose Accept it completely, now as always Beyond the endless model, burn your admiration If prayers are love then screams become love as well Emotions are the hope of bright daylight Offer it, mark it, the crude beats pile up For now to everyone looking, it is an incomplete architecture Existence is an invisible vessel, where light and shadow reflect diffusely With pride at having been chosen, let us raise our hands towards destiny Continue carving the life that fills with color even the tips of your fingers Emotions are a tender pain Depict and build, while modeling this body of mine A warped architecture that keeps on dreaming forever Dreaming architecture

Japanese

… Avec amour, pour toi この世の最果てを胸の奥に抱き締め映り込んだ光を掬い上げて空を仰ぐ導きは形のない　魂が感じる糸手繰り寄せあいやがて結ぶ運命までの道のりを指の先まで色づく命で刻み続ける想いは柔らかな痛み描いて築いてこの身を象りながら永遠を夢見る歪なアーキテクチャ欲しがる本能と求められる喜び或いは生きる意味と言える全て、自分を知る漠然と生まれ落ちた　鮮明に意思を持った受け入れて尚尽きない造形の彼方に憧れを燃やす祈りが愛なら叫びもまた愛なれと想いは白日の希望捧げて印して拙く鼓動重ねる今は誰の目にも未完のアーキテクチャ存在は透明な器　乱反射する光と影選ばれた誇らしさで　運命へ手を伸ばそう指の先まで色づく命で刻み続ける想いは柔らかな痛み描いて築いてこの身を象りながら永遠を夢見る歪なアーキテクチャ夢見るアーキテクチャ

“

love me in the snow, love me in the sun, love me, the beige skin among the flowers of red" ∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄∾⋄

Inspired in part by beloved Gravity, by @katnissmellarkkk and by Roi, by Videoclub! The song doesn't have the everlark vibes per se but the lyrics are so cute and very snapshot like. The fic is perfect, very natural paced and full of longing, 100% recommend!!! Please do zoom in for hi-res, gave my life and tears for this one 💖
