君がいたから ~Eight Melodies~ （Motherより) [ENG subs]

I did not make this video, nor did I translate it. Credit goes to whomever posted it on nicovideo ( http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5487331 ) and Cafechan for the translation (found in the comments of the original video). I just assembled the thing, because it really would be a shame not to have this subtitled.

So, I had posted this before on an alt account (except the subs were worse.) Somebody commented on it, according to my email, so I went to go check that out... only to find my account no longer existed. Lovely. Well, it's not like I actually used that account, and this was the only video uploaded, so it's not too much of a loss. It just baffles me that someone would even bother hacking and terminating it. Anyway, as an apology, I resubbed it with better quality. Forgive me?

The mp3 can be found in the link posted in the description of the original nico broadcast of this video ( http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/Ne/so/41360.zip ). The password is "snatch", as given in the aforementioned description.

Lyrics:

When I become an adult, I might not remember.
But I absolutely do not want to forget... these memories...
I realize now that I am small in a very big world.
In front of the tracks, I look at what I've yet to travel.
I mustn't turn back, but there's no way I can make it that far.
I think this is some sort of trivial mistake,
but if I try to understand it, I'll learn to like it.
I began to think like this
Because you were there.
During my travels, I met my very treasured friends.
The shy Loid, and Ana, who is braver than she looks.
I can't trust what people say, they'll just laugh secretly at me, right?
There's something about awesome power that I don't understand.
There's no way something like it would be hiding in this place.
It's something without a form, but I'm sure it's here somewhere,
could it be my courage?
I realized this kind of thing
Because you were there.
I don't trust others or any of their true feelings and motives.
The things they say, they're all fake.
Because of this, I was hiding in my room.
The power to pass others' barriers is kindness and warmth.
I learned the meaning of being with others
Because you were there.
Many friends,
many worlds,
many moods,
many recollections.
A broken melody became one.
Now, let's sing. This is your song.
After returning from the end of our journey,
all we have is fun memories.
We passed some hard times,
but I'm sure that our hearts will be dreaming of the next adventure.
In this way, when I become older,
everyone, papa, mama, and me,
We can all be grateful for everything now
Because you were there.

Now i undestand this song.... because you were there...

[TheEpicWerehog620]

@themangOMEGA Actually, I believe it's Queen Mary singing in Giegue's memory, then he starts singing.

@TheNessEB You indeed are Ness, you just read my mind.

Mother: A game that makes you want to befriend everyone you see.

CoD: A game that makes you want to kill everyone you see.

[mariomo2000]

I think the end is ninten singing the song and then when he is an adult he sings again, meaning he still remembers his adventure.

[1CoolDudeMe]

I like the pictures. =)

I'm so glad this is a song, I love it so much. I have it on my iPod, and some girl was "borrowing" (I got it back) it, she heard this song, and was humming the melody for the rest of the day. I showed her this video, and fell in love with the whole MOTHER games... Because you were there.

[HereWithoutYou0]

the translation for Loid's part is a bit wrong...it's more like...

i can't believe people's words, cuz secretly they're just laughing at me right?

awesome powers, they're so hard to understand,

if I had something like that I wouldn't have been hiding like this.

sorry, i know im being picky, it just bothered me.

@thomas1999 correct it said the offcially Ness is 12-15 years of age meaning at most about 1993

[thomas1999]

@ElecManX

I hope he is.

I don't support the Ninten+Ana = Ness, I mean considering that Mother 1 took place in 1989 (or around then) and Mother 2 is in 1995, (I assume) and Ness is 13 meaning he was born in 1982....

@AnzuAngel You're joking, right?

Please be joking.
