Kajiurago transliteration by Kowz
Translation by ninetales, corrected by yuki.n
May I start doing corrections here? 🙂
Romaji correction: Wakakusa means young herb, iro means color, I woulsn’t split it at “wakaku sairo”, I’d wrote “wakakusairo” (which risks being tl;dr), or “wakakusa iro”
As a result of the above, I think you’d better translate it as “color of young herbs” (fixing up the syntax)… it stands for the sadness of a young child (“young herb”), as it comes up in memories, and “bright green” doesn’t make that connection. 🙂
“Nanimo owaru koto no nai eien wo shitteita” – “I knew an eternity where nothing would ever end”. Shitteita = I knew, translating that as “I had known there’d be” is a bit overkill, and loses the meaning of the young child’s innocence and eternity…
“Zutto tooku he aruiteku natsukashii omokage”, I understand it as meaning “your dear face is walking so far away”, so then “tadoritsuke wa shinai” should be “you can’t struggle your way towards it” – the whole song talks about the other person leaving, not the singer… so it makes less sense to talk about following the other person.
Then you leave “mama de” untranslated (hon-yaku shinai mama de! :p) I’d translate it as “with the eternity we dreamed of still locked away, with our faults still deeply hidden”
Then it might be simpler to separate the two following phrases: “the road back home is vanishing, you’re already invisible”
Then the last part, I’d rephrase it a bit with a slightly different grammar:
“Now that I came to like you, the eternity is over, the joy and pain of staying alive begin now” (another reference to that lost innocence)
…okay, back to work… trying to fight my headache 🙁
Oops, I missed one…
“Mou daremo kataranai futari no monogatari”, I’d write that as “nobody tells the story of the two of us anymore”
Sorry for the long corrections again m(_ _)m , but I have to admit that most of them are just minor fixes and nothing that really changes the meaning!
I am actually thankful to the holder of this site who has shared this impressive paragraph at here.
Someone necessarily assist to make critically posts I might state. That is the very first time I frequented your web page and so far? I surprised with the analysis you made to create this particular put up amazing. Great task!
Wakakusairo means “bright green” 🙂
Shouldn’t the TYPE-MOON concert that was released as bluray/dvd be listed in “Appearances”?
i always play this song and i always hear the kajiurago”santida” as “santima” and when i watch the pv, Hikaru said “santiMa” not “santiDa”…or maybe it’s only my imagination? i don’t know….
I love when Keiko sang the Kajiurago bits…she should sing in kajiurago more often
