Thank you so much for posting this song. I love you so hard. >.>

You're welcome! X3 Shizuru is v. cool & I'm a huge Shiznat fan now. Ah, I can't wait to find out what Tomoe decides to do with Shizuru. Hopefully she won't go too far... =1

Wow, is that a JADE icon? *boggles*

jyuufish February 28 2006, 03:31:07 UTC

And sorry.. got off the subject.. but the song is awesome. I am definitely a Shiznat fan too *came here from that community* And the lyrics so totally represent Shizuru's feelings for Natsuki.

lol yeah, same VA..

have you seen the suigintou/lacus one?

eruantale001 February 28 2006, 05:21:53 UTC

Ohh, I haven't! *_* (Lacus is from Gundam Seed, right?)
Ah, I knew about Suzuki b/c also voices my favorite character (Platina) from Apocripha/0. XD

Hiya. I was wondering, with your permission could I post this translation (with credits of course) on the Shizuru fanlisting (http://ikezu.parazonium.net) by chance. I've been looking everywhere for a translation but this is the first I've found. Thanks so much for translating.

eruantale001 February 28 2006, 16:52:27 UTC

Ah, if this translation is fine with you then yes, definitely!
...I feel so honored to have it posted on Ikezu. *^_^* Thank you so much!!

This is very late coming, but, well, I've read a Chinese translation for this song which I believe to be accurate, so I'd like to ask: would you like questions/critique for your translation? or are you already sure of its accuracy?

glazzal March 9 2006, 14:27:16 UTC

Oh crap, just looked at it, and I decided that yours is better. ;) Some things I would still like to ask, though, if you want. (The above comment was worded very poorly, sorry.)

eruantale001 March 9 2006, 15:39:42 UTC

Ahh, someone translated it into Chinese?? Yes - I'd love to hear every question/critique!! X3 Since I'm still learning Japanese & I think accuracy is most important, it's always good to have something to compare to & know where I'm wrong. ^O^ If you don't mind telling me those parts I'd really appreciate it!! =D

glazzal March 9 2006, 17:42:52 UTC

Thanks for caring!

Okay, what I discovered belatedly was that the Chinese translator relied too much on the Chinese meanings of the kanji, hence the mistranslations of lines like "will not let you escape". I lost faith in it halfway, so my issues are instead points that they did differently which I thought was also feasible. Mainly the first stanza, because I am lazy, sorry. :p

Said stanza:
濡れた髪にそっと　唇よせて目を閉じて
涙ぐんだらあかん？

You said:
I gently lay my lips on
your moist hair and close my eyes
May I not wallow in my sorrow? [1]

My literal trans of said Chinese translationHair that is gradually getting wet, lips close, eyes that are shut ( ... )
