thanks masa!

one thing:

'Onegai soba ni ite'

you've translated as:

"I beg you, please stay by me"

but this looks like you've translated 'onegai' twice. also, and more importantly, this line is already translated in the PV!! It's on the note, and is translated as:

"Please stay with me"

so I think you should just use this 'official' line too.

again, thanks very much!

Thanks Masa!

So this single is a fully broken-hearted single :dead2

You don't have to be a chode about it.

these are great lyrics! thanks!

beautiful but typical lyrics.. :) the PV saved it all!

Shut up, seriously. Either contribute in a respectful manner or don't post at all. There's no use being a jerk about it. Masa is a native Japanese speaker, ergo I would happen to think that he would understand the lyrics a lot better than YOU would.

Thanks for the lyrics, masa. ^^

BALLAD is sure another Love Poem.
Fits perfectly with the PV~

Thanks masa! :D

Thank you for your translation Masa.

thanks masa...
another sad lyric T___T

I love the lyrics... even more than You Were... they were... so much more indepth. So much more creative -- I don't know -- that's just what I feel at least. I love them...

thank youuuu! i've been waiting for this..i just love the lyric and it really fit with the PV! ayuuu i love u!

Thanks for the translation. Lovely lyrics. Definitely one of her better ballads in the recent years imo ^^

thanks masa !!! :D

You are welcome. I changed two parts, thanks to your suggestions.

I can no more hold on --> I can no longer hold on
please stay by me --> please stay with me

I translated the lyrics without watching the PV. I've seen it just now and confirmed that "soba ni ite" is translated into "please stay with me" in it. But where is "Onegai"? I was going to translate "Onegai" into "I beg you".

thank you for the translation

BALLAD has so beautiful lyrics

Hi masa,

please forgive my poor japanese, but does "soba ni ite" actually include a 'please'?
You've said that they translated it into "please stay with me", but I thought the 'please' was the translation of 'onegai'.

am I wrong?

does "soba ni ite" contain a 'please'? as well as the one from 'onegai?

Well, I'm thinking now that "soba ni ite" corresponds to "stay with me" more than "please stay with me", as you say. So I can change like this.

Onegai soba ni ite -- Please stay with me
Soba ni ite -- Stay with me

But one problem is that "Soba ni ite" is clearly translated into "Please stay with me" in the PV, as you see. How do you think?

^ or maybe it's just Ayu's engrish again ?

thx ^^

Thank you masa!
the lyrics are really beautifull :cry :luv2
