Laughing voices fill the air whitely

It's a direct translation.
On a cold winter day, the air people breathe out looks white. She combined "Laghing breaths fill the air" and "Their breaths look white" in one line. Such expression is not only acceptable but also excellent in Japanese lyrics. Isn't it acceptable as a poetical expression in English? Or, is there some other expression more appropriate?

Perhaps "Laughing voices fill the air with white breath" is better? The meaning of "fill the air whitely" is not obvious in english.

Thank you again and again for the translations and discussions masa.

those lyrics kinda left me a little :X lol thanks for the translation tho! ^_^ i like the words. :)

mrdeus 13th December 2003 04:24 PM

To me "Laughing voices fill the air whitely" sounded good poetically. But I'm not a native English speaker.
Maybe "Laughing white breaths fill the air"? Maybe that's worse *blush*

>Perhaps "Laughing voices fill the air with white breath" is better?

That's very clear. Thank you. I'll change this part.

ayumin 13th December 2003 06:46 PM

Perhaps Mata me is Me to me.
Because Mata me isn't natural to the next sentence.
But the meaning doesn't change much.

*目と目?ってそして言葉を交わした
胸が?鳴って笑顔で隠した
君を知らなかったともに戻れな�_なりそうで

?がもう冷た�_なったね笑い声が?�_道に
訳もな�_?けて?るのは冬のせいかもしれない

出会った夜を今でも覚えてる?

*印?ピート

柔しずつ知ってい�_のに急に全?分からな�_なる

叫んでもいい伝わるまで伝えて!

会えない?間に想いが募った
届かない声に心が痛んだ
君を知らなかったともに戻れな�_なっていた

どうかそんな?に悲しげな瞳で壊れそうに消えそうには� ネらないでねぇ?僕には何ができる?

会えない?間に想いが募った
届かない声に心が痛んだ
君を知らなかったともに戻れな�_なっている

どうして?々素直に言えない?
どうして?々優し�_なれない?
どうして?々?つけ?ってる?
どうして?々確かめ?ってる?
どうして?々…こんなに苦しい?
どうして何?でも…こんなに愛しい?
君じゃなきゃ駄目で…
君じゃなきゃ駄目で…

thanks for contributing

I bought the mini-album and found there were two mistakes in my romaji.
(the first stanza) Mata me ---> Me to me (This is what ayumin pointed out already.)
(the second stanza) shiroku michiru ---> shiroku nijimu (I don't admire this way of writing personally.)
And I change my translation as below. Thank you.

*My eyes met yours, we talked a little
My heart throbbed and I hid my feelings behind a smile
As I was afraid I might not be able to go back to the times
When I had not known you

The wind has already become cold
Laughing voices make the air white
It may be because of the winter
That I feel like crying for nothing

I remember that night when we first met even now

* (repeat)

We have come to know each other little by little
But suddenly I find I know nothing about you
Please tell me what you feel by the time I understand it
You can even shout

My love grew when we couldn't meet
My heart ached because my voice didn't reach you
I found I couldn't go back to the times
When I had not known you

Please don't smile with such sorrowful eyes
As if you were about to be broken and disappear
What can I do, my dear?

My love grew when we couldn't meet
My heart ached because my voice didn't reach you
I find I can't go back to the times
When I didn't know you

Why can't I sometimes say honestly?
Why can't I sometimes be tender?
Why do we sometimes hurt each other?
Why do we sometimes check each other?
Why does my heart sometimes ache so much?
Why does my heart always go out to you?
I can't think of anyone but you
I can't think of anyone but you

Yea,thanks masa san,perfect translation.
I listened this song again.
But,I can't know clearly whether Ayu says michiru or nijimu.
It is faint difference of pronunciation.
I don't admire this way of writing,too.
Michiru is cooler and smoother.

Ryoko 24th December 2003 11:48 PM

I thought that after looking at the kanji that it couldn't be "mata me". Thanks again. I think Ayu says nijimu. What do you mean that you don't admire that way of writing?

ayumi1121 25th December 2003 04:12 PM

wow everyone's doing a great job translating! thanks everyone

masa 25th December 2003 05:52 PM

To Ryoko
Because "nijimu" means "blur". I can't have a clear image from the Japanese lyric, "Waraigoe ga (laughter voices) shiroku (whitely) nijimu (blur)". I don't think it's a good usage.

Ryoko 25th December 2003 08:21 PM

Ah, I see.

vanilla 26th December 2003 06:38 AM

this song totally rawks big time !

"Because of You"
