Wo De Airen (My Beloved) - Ranma AMV - Eng Sub

Wo De Airen (My Beloved) is essentially Shampoo's Image song.

I just took the film and added subtitles.

Translation Notes: It is not word for word.

I started with the translation at Anime Lyrics and then modified them. I tried to stay close to the spirit.

For example, both "Suki" and "Wo ai ni" mean I love you. But instead of putting: "I love you, I love you... I love you". I subbed it as "Love you, Love you... I do indeed!" as I felt this captured the intended emphasis better.

My other concern was trying to fit the English lyrics to the music. So for example, I used "beautiful girl" instead of "cute girl" for the word Kawaii. Not only did beautiful have the right number of syllables, but in English beautiful probably better captures the emotional intent of Kawaii in this instance then the literal translation "cute".

Additionally, instead of "My beloved" for Wo de Airen, I made it just "Beloved" only drawn out "Be-ee-love-ed" because it fit the song's rhythm better.

Hopefully these changes (and the others I made) will be acceptable, and people will enjoy singing along to this song in English

Where is this song from?

[1madmartagan1]

@Nejn34 The anime/manga is called Ranma 1/2.

There was a special release called the Hot Springs Contest, which consisted of music videos that supposedly where part of some music singing contest which the entire cast signed up for. (Based on it's name I'd assume the prize was a trip to the Hot Spring of your choice- something that was very valuable to Ranma and others so they could get rid of their curse).

This video is the song sung by Shampoo the Chinese Amazon who insists Ramna marry her.

Welcome to Chinese 101- Today's Chinese term, "Wo Ai Ni." This means, "I Love You." Go to time 1:53, and you will see the minor mistake.

Other than that, you've done a great job!

I know, as I pointed out in the "More Info" section and in the first comment I made on this video.

However, it comes in a sentence of: "Suki yo, Suki yo Anata dake, Wo ai ni" Which is literally something like "I love you, I love you, dear one, I love you".

However, the use of Wo ai ni instead of Suki yo is obviously supposed to emphasize the sincerity of the emotion. The literal translation in English would not have expressed that nuance in my opinion. So I gave it as "I do indeed" instead.

i enjoyed this very much but i like to make a helpfull sugestion. when you replaced "my beloved" with just "beloved" there really was no need. you could still say..."My be-love-ed" it it would have sounded fine.still loved it though!!!

[1madmartagan1]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I have to disagree though, I listened to it again, and I still think "Be-ee-love-ed" fits the rhythm better than "My Be-love-ed" or even "My-hi Be-loved". Just my opinion of course. You are entitled to your own.

@XRanmaFan4EverX I'm a ranmaXakane and ranmaXryoga fan so you can see why... I'm quite happy with the current state of affairs though. It's just so cute seeing Shampoo trying to get rid of Mousse or brainwashing Ranma.

[XRanmaFan4EverX]

@KeiraKoresh well i guess your a shampooXmousse fan, but u know we all have different opinion, i'm a shampooXranma fan.

[KeiraKoresh]

@XRanmaFan4EverX  Ranma didn't want Shampoo in the first place, Mousse :P

[XRanmaFan4EverX]

Ranma doesn't deserve Shampoo.
