{NOT OFFICIAL!!} Because of You lyrics
 
OK, I romajized it WHILE ONLY HEARING to the mp3 provided by Unimatrix Prime-san. There are mistakes in the text and I canclearly hear them, but I can think of any other way of typing them! So if You know japanese - please don't hate me for this. If You don't and want to sing it.... enjoy!

Because of You

Mata waratte soshite
Kotoba o kawashite
Mune ga tagararete
Egao de kakushite
Kimi o shiranakatta koro ni modore naku narisoude

Kaze ga mou tsumetaku natta ne
Waraigoe ga shiroku michi ni
Wakemonaku tabidakuru no wa
Fuyu rusei kanoshimenai

Deatta yoru o imademo koboeteru

Mata waratte soshite
Kotoba o kawashite
Mune ga tagararete
Egao de kakushite
Kimi o shiranakatta koro ni modore naku narisoude

Sukoshi zutsu shitei kuru ni
Kyuu ni zenbu wakattaku naru

Sakendemo ii tsutawaru made tsutaete

Aenai jikan ni
Omoi ga tsunouda
Todokanai koe ni
Kokoro ga itanda
Kimi o shiranakatta koro ni modore naku naratteita

Douka sonna fuu ni
Kanashi ga na hitomi de
Kowaresouni kiesoni warawanaide
Nee boku ni wa nani ga dekiru

Aenai jikan ni
Omoi ga tsunouda
Todokanai koe ni
Kokoro ga itanda
Kimi o shiranakatta koro ni modore naku naratteiru

Doushite tokidoki sunaoni ienai?
Doushite tokidoki yasashiku narenai?
Doushite tokidoki kizutsuke aeteru?
Doushite tokidoki tashikame aeteru?

Doushite tokidoki... konnani kurushii?!
Doushite itsudemo... konnani itoshii?!
Kimi ja nakya dame de...
Kimi ja nakya dame de!!


I love this song....

Unimatrix Prime™ 8th December 2003 09:38 PM

I was thinking of making some unofficial lyrics too! Well..the lyrics you posted look fine to me...then again, my knowledge of Japanese is quite limited :roflmao !

Thanks for the lyrics ^^

tl1029530921 8th December 2003 09:42 PM

Yvette 8th December 2003 09:44 PM

That's if masa has the chance ^^; thanks tho shiso!!! :D:D

the3ye 8th December 2003 09:45 PM

ayumi_pukka89 8th December 2003 09:48 PM

I do understand some parts of it, but.... I don't want to commit any more heresies here on the forum (like with the "No way to say" song), so I'll keep quiet, wait for the official lyrics and thaen I;m sure masa-san will translate it :)

Ryoko 8th December 2003 10:54 PM

When I hear it I'll see if any parts seem unusual, but thanks! It'll help me with the romanization when I do get the kanji lyrics.

narusegawa 8th December 2003 11:14 PM

thanx anyways shiso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

voltron 9th December 2003 04:06 AM

i started to translate, but didn't get far. i think the first verse is wrong, romanized. should be something like:
mata waratte soshite
kotoba wo kara shita
mune ga takanatte
egao de kakushita
kimi wo shiranakatta koko ni mo dore nakunaru soude

in very bad english, that would be like (the subject is unclear, so that'd help it to make more sense):
Once more to be smiling, and
words from the tongue
chest beats quickly
hide with smiles
feeling strange, here too all disappear together

MTRLevolution 9th December 2003 06:41 AM

thanks everybody!

Kaiousei 9th December 2003 11:47 AM

TRANSLATION PLEASE!!!!

one suggestion: on the bottom of the second paragraph, im pretty sure that it's "kamo shirenai"

Larisa-chan 9th December 2003 02:05 PM

Doushite tokidoki... konnani kurushii?!
Doushite itsudemo... konnani itoshii?!
Kimi ja nakya dame de...
Kimi ja nakya dame de!!

Okay Larisa-chan does not speak Japanese whatsoever. She put these words in a japanese dictionary and formed sentences from the translated words. So the last verse translates into:

"Why does it have to be painful like this sometimes?
Why can't it be lovely like this all the time?
I want to think about anyone but you...
I want to think about anyone but you"

the last two lines are probably very wrong ^.^*

Yarumi 9th December 2003 05:57 PM

actually that meakes since Larisa-chan XD

I wonder what is happening in Ayu's love life to make her so warry of someone... she must have really been in love :( Poor ayu...

masa 9th December 2003 06:21 PM

Here is my romanization. But I'm not sure if the two underlined words are correct or not. So I'm going to translate it after the official lyrics are out.

*Me ga atte soshite kotoba o kawashita
Mune ga takanatte egao de kakushita
Kimi o shiranakatta koro ni
Modorenaku narisou de

Kaze ga mou tsumetaku natta ne
Waraigoe ga shiroku michiru
Wake mo naku nakete kuru no wa
Fuyu no sei kamo shirenai

* (repeat)

Sukoshi zutsu shitte yuku noni

MTRLevolution 9th December 2003 06:35 PM

masa is awesome. thanks to shiso again too!

Shiso 9th December 2003 10:38 PM

Thank You masa-san! Finally some sense this song has :)

jerms 10th December 2003 12:11 AM

thanks larisa chan! those lines maek a lot of sense for the pv!

and thank you so much masa, for once again, translating more for us..:laugh :D YAYYY

Kaiousei 10th December 2003 12:36 AM

Where it says "Kyuu ni zenbu wakatta totan", I think the last word is "kureru" not "totan"

And the underlined "tashika" sounds like "kanashii"

Piccolo 10th December 2003 12:40 AM

Thank you for the lyrics !! Greatly appreciated :)

Monana 10th December 2003 12:52 AM

I'm just wondering...the first sentence, should there be some words b4 "me ga atte"? i heard "mata"..not sure thou

mrdeus 10th December 2003 01:04 AM

Thanks masa and everyone!

masa:
where you underlined "tashika" I heard "kara shike" or something like that, if it helps.
OK. Last edit (I'll be back when I've picked up some language skills :rolleyes) the underlined "tashika na" could be "kanashi kana"

I agree with Y2KSPHINX about "kureru"

"Me ga atte" at the very beginning sounds somewhat like this to me: "matome atte" or "mahou me atte" or something.
I don't even know if it's a real word. It's just the sounds that I picked up.

edit: the more I listen, the more I head "mahou me" or maybe "me hou me"
edit: no, definitely "mahou me atte..." :D
edit (again :)): now I hear "mata wo me atte" (i need better audio, hehe)

disclaimer: I hardly know any japanese at all, so don't take my suggestions too seriously.

ayufanbase 10th December 2003 02:44 AM

The first line that starts Doushite tokidoki, I think the verb at the end should be "ienai"

I think that "tashika" is actually "kanashika"

I'm not sure about "Me ga atte" though, I don't think that's it though.

edit: okay, I hear "Mata me atta soshite" for the first line there...
but I'm not sure that makes any sense.

Shiso 10th December 2003 09:02 AM

So maybe little of Shiso's translating heresies? :P

Mata me ga atte soshite kotoba o kawashita
Mune ga takanatte egao de kakushita
Kimi o shiranakatta koro ni
Modorenaku narisou de


I open my eyes again and say few words
My throbbing heart I hide behind a smile
Have you learned that there is no way back
To the times that you don't know?


Aenai jikan ni omoi ga tsunotta
Todokanai koe ni kokoro ga itanda
Kimi o shiranakatta koro ni
Modorenaku natte iru

Doushite tokidoki sunao ni narenai
Doushite tokidoki yasashiku narenai
Doushite tokidoki kizutsuke atteru
Doushite tokidoki tashikame atteru
Doushite tokidoki konnani kurushii
Doushite itsudemo konnani itoshii
Kimi ja nakya dame de
Kimi ja nakya dame de


In this tragic time feelings are connecting
The voice that won't reach breakes the heart
You learned that there is no way back
To the times that you don't know

Why do we sometimes can't say it honestly?
Why do we sometimes can't be gentle?
Why do we sometimes hurt others?
Why do we sometimes want to make sure?
Why do we sometimes hurt so much?
Why do we always love so much?
Without you, there's no sense
Without you, there's no sense...


and some other lines I'm not so sure about:

Deatta yoru o ima demo oboeteru
Even now I remember the night we met

Sakende mo ii tsutawaru made tsutaete
It's ok to scream... convey until it'll reach

Don't know if any of this is OK, but..... :p

ayumin 10th December 2003 09:32 AM

mrdeus 10th December 2003 10:34 AM

Thanks ayumin!
That sounds about right. As for the meaning, I leave that to the professionals ;)

Larisa-chan 10th December 2003 10:55 AM

thanks so much for translating the lyrics~~ haha I was so off...

hmm.. as for the lyrics themselves, I think they're boring..

Shiso 10th December 2003 11:08 AM

Larisa-chan! I'mnot saying Your translation is wrong! Hahaha! This is my "heresy" :) it may be very wrong :)

PS. And I think the lyrics aren't boring, they're quite cool :p

ayumin 10th December 2003 11:16 AM

I think the melody dresses the lyrics up.
My favorite part

Kaze ga mou tsumetaku natta ne
Waraigoe ga shiroku michiru

Wind has already become cold?
Laughing voice fills whitely.

masa 10th December 2003 05:33 PM

I've downloaded the HQ PV, and now I can catch every word almost clearly. I've found my first romanization had many mistakes (the underlined words), though some of you pointed some already.

My romaji-based translation
 
I tried my best to express the meanings. This is probably full of errors, but Jose made me try it. Thanks to Masa for the roomaji. ^^


Song Title: Because of You
Artist: Hamasaki Ayumi
Lyrics: Hamasaki Ayumi
Music: ?
Arrangement: ?
Album: Memorial Address

*Again I raised my eyes and avoided it with words.
With a smile, I concealed the struggle in my heart.
It looks as though I can't go back to the way things were before I met you.

The wind has already become cold, hasn't it.
My laughing voice has been filled with whiteness.
Perhaps it is the fault of the winter, which comes without reason.

Even now, I still remember the night on which we met.

* (repeat)

Little by little, I became aquainted with it;
Suddenly, I understood all of my distress
Is it okay to keep shouting it? Communicating it until it is transmitted to you?

When we couldn't meet, my memories helped me.
In my heart, there was a voice that had failed to reach its destination.
It looks as though I can't go back to the way things were before I met you.

Somehow or other, with that sort of sad eyes,
As though I would shatter, as though I would disappear, without being able to smile,
What could I do?

When we couldn't meet, my memories helped me.
In my heart, there was a voice that had failed to reach its destination.
It looks as though I can't go back to the way things were before I met you.

Why is it that sometimes I can't speak honestly?
Why is it that sometimes I can't be gentle?
Why is it that I sometimes wound others?
Why is it that sometimes, things are so definite?
Why is it that sometimes it's this painful?
Why is it that you're always so beloved?
If it's not you, it's useless.
If it's not you, it's useless.

Unimatrix Prime™ 10th December 2003 06:43 PM

Excellent translation ;) !! While I'm still not sure how "transmitted" fits into the translation of yours (I think "told" or "yelled" seem to make more sense, but you said that's how it's said), the rest of it sounds great :D !

MTRLevolution 10th December 2003 08:09 PM

the lyrics are so good. much better then some of her other works..and for once, this pv can really relate to the lyrics..i like it a lot..thanks thanks thanks again!

Ryoko 10th December 2003 09:42 PM

arigato masa-san!!!

Larisa-chan 10th December 2003 11:20 PM

ahhhh this is a more fluid translation thanks hanabiwings!

but what is the message Ayu is trying to convey???

Nu-NRG 11th December 2003 12:28 AM

O_O wow thanks so much for those lyrics...i was so off =\ but o wellz heres my attepts...is prolly full of error anyways

*Four eyes linking then exchanges languages
The chest is spirited but laughter lays inside
I certainly did not know you but as if I already cannot be able to stop all these

On a Snowy white street wind has already getting colder
does not have the reason to cry maybe is because the shivering evils
that unexpectedly night which we meet now I remember it once again

*Repeats

I actually gradually understood a little by little
this craziness had already made me unable to understand
even if is a yell is fine but that needs to transmit to transmits up to now


the times that can't be meet I will accumulate those memories
in the heart will need to approve to hug tightly
I certainly did not know you but as if I already cannot be able to stop all these

even if such a matter occured eyes can also maintain shyly
we cannot tell the fear but what can be done


the times that can't be meet I will accumulate those memories
in the heart will need to approve to hug tightly
I certainly did not know you but as if I already cannot be able to stop all these

Why is the heartbeats increasing but unable to honestly to say
Why is the heartbeats increasing but unable gently to wait for
Why is the heartbeats increasing in this season which you and me meets
Why is the heartbeats increasing we did see each other faces
Why is the heartbeats increasing but still so many pain
Why is that no matter when (I am a treasurer "not so sure bout this one")

all is because of you all are because of you

Yea...the verb used it tsutaete, which I'm pretty sure is just the "te" form of tsutaeru which means "to communicate" or "to tell." So I think the line would be better as:
"Is it ok for me to shout until it is communicated to you?"

Or possibly "conveyed" would work even better, though it wouldn't be an exact translation.

The verb at the end is tsutaete. The word used before that is tsutawaru, which means "to transmit." She says, "tsutawaru made" which means "until it's transmitted," which is where I got that specific phrase from. However, I guess you could say, "until it is communicated to you." The use of the word "tsutaete" is related to "shout it to you". I'll fix it.

er.. I think you might've gotten tokidoki and dokidoki confused... tokidoki = sometimes, dokidoki = heartbeats..

Kaiousei 11th December 2003 10:07 AM

i just have a few more suggestions: koro=tomo and hitomi=hitori

masa 11th December 2003 03:39 PM

I've found another mistake. Please correct the line "Kyuu ni zenbu wakatta futari" to "Kyuu ni zenbu wakaranaku naru". (But I notice Ayumin had already corrected it in fact.) And here is my translation.


*My eyes met yours again, 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 got cold
Laughing voices fills the air whitely
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 sometimes I can't say honestly?
Why sometimes I can't be tender?
Why sometimes we hurt each other?
Why sometimes we check each other?
Why sometimes my heart aches so much
Why always my heart goes out to you?
I can't think of anyone but you
I can't think of anyone but you

tl1029530921 11th December 2003 03:47 PM

THANX U MASA!!^^

voltron 11th December 2003 05:30 PM

few suggestions:

The wind has already got cold -->> the wind has already gotten cold

Laughing voices fills the air whitely -->> laughing voices fill the air whitely (it's just a matter of agreement)

and the last part is a bit awkward, maybe something along the lines of:
Why sometimes can't I speak honestly?
Why sometimes can't I be tender?
Why sometimes do we hurt each other?
Why sometimes do we check each other?
Why sometimes does my heart ache so much
Why always does my heart go out to you?
I can't think of anyone but you
I can't think of anyone but you

OR

Why can't I sometimes speak 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

THANK YOU. I agree with this comment very much. ^^



(Totally off-topic. I think Gackt's Chinese is clearer than his English. But not being fluent in Chinese, I can't say much. But seriously, listening to this version of 12gatsu no Love Song, it sounds much clearer than the English version from last year.)

Shiso 12th December 2003 11:43 AM

Masa-san! Domo arigatou gozaimasu! That is so cool!

masa 12th December 2003 02:40 PM

To Ayuspeed
Thank you. But it seems you are overestimating me. I'm a Japanese and can understand Japanese completely of course, but I'm not fluent in speaking and writing English. So there may be some mistakes in my English. Any suggestions are welcome.

To voltron
1. Don't you use "has got"? I learned at school that either "got" or "gotten" is OK.
2. "fills" ---> "fill" It's my simple mistake.
3. As for the last part, I'd like to write as "Why sometimes ..." if possible, because Ayumi repeats "Doushite tokidoki ..." quite conciously in this part. But if such order of words looks very strange to English-speaking people, I'll take one of your suggestions. Thank you.

mrdeus 12th December 2003 05:00 PM

Masa: first let me say that I appreciate your translations very much. Doumo arigatou gozaimasu!

"has already gotten" is very American. I've learned British English, so for me "has already become" is more natural. But I guess it's just a matter of preference :P

I think (as I said on ayumi-sg) it would sound more natural if "Why sometimes..." were replaced with "Why is it that sometimes...". The "is it that" doesn't really have any meaning, it just ties it together.

Another way to write it would be "Why ... sometimes?", but I think that it changes the meaning a little.

Larisa-chan 13th December 2003 12:20 AM

ahhh thank you so much masa ;.;!!! I really like the lines

"It may be because of the winter
That I feel like crying for nothing"

wow awesome thanks

HanabiChick 13th December 2003 03:16 PM

Thanks for the romaji and translation :thumbsup

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.

Yvette 13th December 2003 04:19 PM

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*

masa 13th December 2003 04:50 PM

>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.

Wow you guys are amazing. Me dunno anything bout japanese but i'm learnig now thx 2 u guys. I think ayu have some trouble of saying her feelings (wether she'll break up or no) just like in no way to say. That's IMO thou

BlackCat83 16th December 2003 06:46 AM

thanks for contributing

masa 19th December 2003 04:18 PM

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"
