About Song Lyrics

[Hydroman]

Hello, everyone.

This time I post corrections to song lyrics.
When I correct a word, I attach a number(#) after the line.
My explanation to corrections is written at the bottom of this message with the number.

I was surprised the accuracy of the translation.
I hope that it will help you when you sing the songs in Japanese.

Kaze [w]o Tsukinukete
(Rockman.exe Opening)

* Mirai e to nabi [w]o tore! --- #1, #2
Taemanai hikari de kotae sagashi tsuzukeyo[u] --- #3
Kasokusuru supiido de
Doko made mo yukeruyo kaze [w]o tsukinukete kimi to (kimi to) --- #2

* Take your Navi toward the future!
With its unending light let's keep searching for the answer
With accelerating speed, we can go wherever!
We'll break through the wind, you and me (you and me)

Machijuu ni habikoru misuterii
Genjitsu no hazama ni hisomu tegakari

The mystery spreading through the streets
Its clues hidden in the valleys of reality

Jittoshite rarenai tatta ima shiritai
Yuuki no puraguin tobi konde

I can't sit patiently--I want to know now!
With a courageous plugin, let's dive in

** Semarikuru nazo [w]o toke! --- #2
Oh rokkuman futari de kotae mitsukedasu nosa --- #4
Girigiri no batoru demo
Akiramezu tatakau kimi ga iru kagiri tsuyoku!

** We'll solve the pressing puzzle!
Oh Rockman, the two of us will search for the answer
Even though the battle's difficult,
Without giving up we'll fight on strongly, as long as you're here!

Dokoka ni kakureta pasuwaado
Randamuna kotoba ja tadoritsukenai

The password concealed somewhere
We won't find it with random words

Motto fukai basho de kitto wakariaeru
Bokura no kokoro wa nettoshiteru

We'll surely find it in an even deeper place
As our hearts will network

Chizu no nai sekai demo
Oh rokkuman shinjiteru kimochi sore sae areba
me no mae ni michi wa aru
kono mune ni kagayaku yume wo tsukamu made hashire!

This world may be unmapped, but
Oh Rockman, as long as we believe
Before our eyes will be our course
Until we catch the dream shining in our hearts, run on!

Itsuka kanaetemiseru
Arasoi [w]o nori koeta sono hi wa kuru nosa --- #2

Someday we'll make it come true
The day when we rise above the conflict will come!

* repeat

** repeat


-----
#1: I corrected "he" into "e".
This Japanese character is written as "he" in the Roman alphabet, but the Japanese never read it "he" when it is used as a particle, and we read it "e".

#2: I omitted "w" from "wo".
This Japanese character is written as "wo" in the Roman alphabet, but the Japanese read it "o" simply.
However some Japanese musician read (or sing) it "wo" because of their unusual way to sing.

#3: I omitted "u" from "-you".
This line has the character "u" at the end.
When a word ends in "-ou", the Japanese read it "-o" simply.
If you know a Japanese baseball player Ichiro(u) Suzuki of Seattle Mariners, you find that his name is read as not "Ichirou" but "Ichiro".
It is followed by the rule.
It is good that you read it "-oh" or "-oo" rather than "-ou".

#4: I corrected "mitsuketedasu" into "mitsukedasu".
It is just an error. I deleted "te".

Piece of Peace
(Rockman.exe Ending #1)

Hitogomi [w]o kugurinuketa
Kaze no oto ni mimi [w]o sumaseba --- #1
Iradachi wo togaraseteru --- #2, #3
Kotoba dake ga MERODII ni naruyo

Moving through the crowd of people
Listening carefully to the wind
The words sharpens my irritation
Just it becomes a melody when I depend on you

Nee, utatte kimi no tokuina egao de yasashisa [w]o
Iki ga tsumaru jikan no nami ni kokoro [w]o
Sarawareru mae ni

Hey, can you sing your kindness with your unique smile
Before the heart drowns in the waves of time
Let me see you smile once more

Kono hoshi no daremo ga ai [w]o sagashiteiru
Mo[u] kizutsukeau arasoi wa shinai de --- #4
Kimi ga nigirishimeru hon'no kakera de ii --- #5
PEACE tsunagiawase yume [w]o egako[u]

Everyone on this star is searching for love
Don't make fights that hurt anymore
Only a little piece of what you hold is all right
Tie it with peace, let's draw a dream

-----
#1: I corrected "yume" into "mimi".
It is an error. "Yume" means dream, but there is not the word in the line.
"Mimi" means ears, and "mimi o sumas-u" means listening carefully.
I deleted the phrase "the dream will end", because it does not match the meaning of the Japanese line.

#2: I corrected "Imadachi" into "Iradachi".
We the Japanese do not have the word "imadachi".
"Iradachi" means irritation.

#3: I corrected "kugaraseteru" into "togaraseteru".
We the Japanese do not have the verb "kugarase-ru".
"Togarase-ru" means sharpenning.
Actually, the line does not have a phrase which can be translated into "when I depend on you" but I kept it because the line becomes too short if I delete it.

#4: I corrected "arasou ii" into "arasoi".
It is an error. "Arasoi" is a noun of the verb "arasou".

#5: I corrected "wa" into "ga".
"Wa" and "ga" are particles.
Both of them used just after the subject of a sentence, but the usage is different.

I was surprised at the accuracy of transcription of "Begin the Try".
So I corrected few lines.


-----
Begin the Try
(Rockman.exe Ending #2)

Daremo ga matteru tsugi no yume
Jidai wa yosoku o tobikoeru
Kanarazu mirai wa kuru keredo
Ima wa kono toki dake

Everyone is waiting for the next dream
The period outdo the assumptions
The future will always come but
The present won't come again --- #1

Aoi sora o miageta ra
Kaze ga nagarete iru
Kitto utatte iru
Kimochi no muku mama aruke to

When I look up at the blue sky
The wind blows by
Probably singing
To walk towards the way I feel

Genki dase yo
Itsumomitai ni
Hajimari wa mada korekara sa
Dame na toki wa
Warai tobashite
Demo wasurezu
Kujikezu
Nanika ga mieru

Cheer up
Like always
The beginning is only about to start
When it doesn't go right
Just laugh
But don't forget
Don't give up
And something can be seen

Juuman bariki ni akogareta
Kodomo tachi ga otona ni natte
Hikari wo sekai ni hashiraseru
Sore mo mukashi banashi

I adored becoming ten times better
Children become adults and
Runs light into the world
Even that's an old tale now

Yume wa todokanai you na
Tooi tokoro ga ii
Sukoshi chikazuku tame
Omoi mo chikara mo ookii

A dream should be
Something unreachable
Just getting a little near
Requires lots of feeling and strength

Yuuki nante
Tsuitekuru mono
Muchuu ni nareba afuredasu
Dame na toki ga
Taisetsu na toki
Ki ga tsuitara
Ashita ga
Rekishi ga kawaru

Such things like courage
Will follow along
Being engrossed will overflow it
Times when it doesn't go right --- #2
Are the most important
When you notice
Tomorrow and --- #3
History will change

Genki dase yo
Itsumomitai ni
Hajimari wa mada korekara sa
Yuuki nante
Tsuitekuru mono
Muchuu ni nareba afuredasu
Dame na toki ga
Taisetsu na toki
Ki ga tsuitara
Ashita ga
Rekishi ga kawaru...

Cheer up
Like always
The beginning is only about to start
Such things like courage
Will follow along
Being engrossed will overflow it
Times when it doesn't go right
Are the most important
When you notice
Tomorrow and ---#3
History will change


-----
#1: I suggest to change "Right now, it's only this instant" into "The present won't come again".
According to the Japanese line, it means that the present will come again.

#2: I corrected "Yimes" into "Times".
It is just a misspelling.

#3: I suggest to add "and" after "tomorrow".
"Ashita ga, rekishi ga kawaru" means "Tomorrow will change and history will change", not "History will change tomorrow".
"Ashita" and "rekishi" stand at the same level because the particle "ga" is used after both of them.
"Tommorow" is used as a noun, not an adverb.

I'm sorry.
I could not complete correction Aki-chan's song because I do not know where I can hear the full version of this song.
This time I wrote the part which I could hear in Rockman.exe Season 2, Episode 27.


-----
Anata no Haato ni Insutooru (Install Your Heart)
(Aki-chan's Song)

Anata no HAATO ni INSUTOORU!
Watashi no HAATO [w]o INSUTOORU!
Koi no APURI ima --- #1
Ugokidashita no
Hayaku kizuite ne!
Anata ga suki yo!

Install in your heart!
Install my heart!
Love's application has
Just started moving
Please notice it quickly!
I love you!


-----
#1: I corrected "apurike wa" into "APURI ima".
It was difficult even for me to transcribe in Japanese.
"APURI" is an abbriviated form of "APURIKEESHON" which means application.
"Ima" means just now.

There was no error about the transcription of this song lyric.
On the other hand, I felt some unnaturalness on the translation, thinking about the meaning of the Japanese song lyric.
However, it is just my opinion.


-----
Futatsu no Mirai
(Rockman.exe Axess Opening)

Hajimari o tsugeru kane no koe
Toki ga kawari
Kinou uchikeshi narihibiku yo

The bell echos that let you know the beginning
The times have been changed
They denied yesterday and are resounding

Daijoubu kimi ga koko ni ireba
Hitorijanai sore ga yuuki okosaseru

It's all right, since you're here next to me
I'm not alone, and that's what'll awaken my courage

Fukigenna sora mabushii hodo
Terashi daseru taiyou ni nareru

This sullen sky dazzles so
I can become the sun that makes you brilliant

Kimi to wakachiau kibou to yorokobi
Kurosu suru sono tabi fukamaru kizuna

I'll share this with you, the joy of my hopes
The more we cross, the deeper our bond becomes

Mirai to genzai pazuru o awasete
Kokoro tsunagaru bokura no yume
Akashi ni naru

The future and the present join together with this puzzle
Our hearts are connected and our dream
Becomes the proof

I will not be able to reply for those three days.

Hikari Todoku Basho de
(Rockman.exe Axess Ending)

Wasurenai yo kyou mo ashita mo hikari todoku basho no naka ---#1
Don't forget, today and tomorrow, while in the place filled with light

Shiranakatta koto o ima hitotsu hitotsu oboeteyukou yo
Isshonara sou

Now remember the things we didn't know, one-by-one
Since we're together

Mitakotononai basho kirihiraite yuku
Chiisana bouken mitai

We're clearing places we haven't seen before
Like small adventure

Hora, soko ni mo yume ga ochiteru
Kimi no tonari ni
Niji no mukou ni

Look, there are dreams that are falling
Beside me
Beyond the rainbow

Wasurenai yo kyou mo ashita mo hikari todoku basho de ---#1
Itsudemo mata soba ni iru kara
Kokoro ga tsuyoku nareru yo

Don't forget, today and tomorrow, while in the place filled with light
Forever and ever, we'll always be together
And our hearts will grow stronger


-----
#1: I corrected "bashou" into "basho."
It is just an error of transcription.
"Bashou" is a famous composer of a Japanese poem.
"Basho" means "place."

-----
#1: I corrected "iro wa uta" into "iroha uta."
In the phrase “iroha uta” there is a play on words.
They mean both "Colors become songs" and "The song becomes iroha song (poem)."
"Iroha uta" is an old Japanese poem to remember all hiragana, the rounded Japanese phonetic syllabary.

#2: I corrected "wo" into "mo."
It is an error in transcribing.
I also revised the translation according to the difference.

#3: I revised the translation.
I devised to put "Music" in the end of the line.

#4: I revised the translation of the line and two lines after that.
The sentence structure of those lines is a little complicated even for us because of lack of particles.

#5: I revised the translation.
I devised to put "Music" in the end of the line.

There is no error in the transcription and translation of "Hikari Todoku Bashou De - Yuujou no Shirushi."

This time I skip it, and try to revise "Shouri no Uta."


-----
Ole~! Ole~!

Saa tachiagare
Shouri no hana wo mune ni kazashite

Now stand
Adorn your chest with the flower of victory

Dare ni mo mane wa sasenai sa

We won't let nobody intimidate us
With only this as our style
If this song reaches your heart
The victory is already in our hand

Only in order to fight for the sake of freedom
Now we raise our fist to the sky

We sing in order to sparkle on the earth

In order that we can sparkle on the earth

Ashiato
(Rockman.exe Beast Ending)

Hirogaru kono michi
Hitori mitsumeteiru
Kono saki no mukou

Spread out this road
Watching it alone
In this destination's direction
What is waiting?

Tatoe tsurai koto mo
Tachi mukaeba
Itsuka tadoritsuku hi ga kuru hazu

Even painful experiences
If you confront them
The day when you reach the end should come

Yasashiku mau kaze ni

Asu kuru yume ni nosete todokeyou

Into the wind dancing gently
Memories won't vanish
I'll deliver them through the dream that will come tommorow

Kokoro hareta mama de
Ima koko ni iru ashiato wo nokosou

Under the truly high sky
It will be sunny in your heart
Now leave your footprints behind you here

[tuxdev]

Hydroman, if you have the time, please evaluate and correct my translation of the full Shouri no Uta at
http://www.kishuku.com/reo/viewtopic.php?t=6676

The two parts of the translation I'm most uncertain about are "aoi kara" which I interpreted as "empty inexperience" instead of "blue void", and "shouri no fuu" which I interpreted as "way of victory" instead of "wind of victory" or "storm of victory". The more literal interpretations didn't make sense in the context to me, but I might be having problems iterpreting the context properly. Might have been problematic to use the lyrics on the main site too.

[tuxdev]

Ah, now I see that. Neither "ao" nor "kara" can be a direct object cause they aren't nouns. I also switched them, cause "kara aoi" is more like "empty inexperience", if that even worked. I'm still not sure how to connect that with "to border" that makes any sense.

Now that the actual audio for the full song is available, I corrected my transcription and associated translation. The rough grammer still remains, though.

Good catch! I had assumed that the end of the song matched what we already knew. It is actually
