Namamekashiki [Subbed ENG/KANJI/ROM]

Warcon's official Marrow of a Bone lyric translations are a mess. Whole words have been left out, kanji misread... I've retranslated Namamekashiki Ansoku, Tamerai ni Hohoemi from the Japanese kanji provided. Of course, I am by no means mandating my translation as absolute, but, I hope that this makes more sense than the English translation provided with the American/European MoaB CD. If something is unclear, an image pack is available for download. // I feel illiterate, I can't believe some of the typos I made...please disregard them.

holy hell, thank you for posting this!

my band has been looking to do a cover of this song, (i do vocals) and needless to say we want to do it in english, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out hte vocal pattern due to the translation... The vid makes it so much easier!

[Mousoukyou]

:) Hehe, no problem at all. I'm glad it was of some use -- even though this first translation has a few mistakes.

[Guardian016]

Who made this translation? It was difficult, wasn't it?

It may be useful for many people even though I can see some mistakes.

[Mousoukyou]

I translated it, actually. And yeah, it was pretty difficult, seeing as Kyo uses about one pronoun in the entire song (I have a feeling that he enjoys being vague). I apologize for the mitakes -- I'm not sure what I was thinking when I was revising the video. An update version of the translation/video is available in my profile (though, due to sunkrad's evil diminion, it has no sound) -- with less mistakes, hopefully.

[Guardian016]

That's cool.

Once I tried translating this song too! My problem was how to put the words into English. I can understand the lyrics because I'm Japanese, but I realised how vague they were as I was thinking of translation for each sentence.

Please don't worry about mistakes :D

I could send you my version of translation if you want.

[Mousoukyou]

OMG... *mistakes (I'm usually so anal retentive when it comes to grammar and spelling -_-)

Sure, that'd be awesome! :D

[FF7Freak92]

Thank you very much for the english translations! I was going to sing this song for my schools talent show next year but in english lol

[masamune413]

Wow! this is beyond excellent!

I really like your translation, please do more!

Is it just me or Is the text not showing up in this video?

Also the text is fine on the other video, but there is no sound?

[0b5cur3N3k0T3r0r]

Is it just me or are the lyrics and translation not showing up on this video, and the sound is not showing up on the other video?

[Symerel]

^o^ i love this song *3* diruuu (^o^)/

[Mousoukyou]

Also, some common phrases like "Iki wo koroshi" were misinterpreted. This phrase was said to mean "Kill my breath" when it actually means 'bated breath...'

There's quite a few common errors. And yeah, you would like to think Kyo might look over the translation, but I sincerely doubt that he would care enough to. You might notice that the translations, in contrast to Kyo's english lyrics, really don't make much of any sense.
