thanks jc

They are quite nice but have few mistakes - I'll post my corrected version when I'll get home later this evening :)

But thanks anyway :)

Thanks.

I have a feeling these are going to be very pretty lyrics~

all I know from those lyrics is that she sings about "white snow" in a couple lines hahaha ::flexes Japanese skills::

It would be beautiful, but sad i guess... :(

My version:

Hajimete atta hi wo
Ima mo oboeteiru
Tereta you ni kimi wa utsumuite
Me wo sorashite bakari datta ne

Sono shigusa wo totemo itoshiku omou you ni natta no wa
Itsu no koro datta ka na
Nandaka natsukashii ne

Yagate ikutsu mo no kisetsu ga bokutachi no mae wo ashibaya ni toorinuketa

Shiroi yuki ga machi wo someru koro ni mo kimi no sobani isasete
Watashi korekara mou komarasete bakari kamo shirenai kedo

Yodooshi hanashiteta
Mirai dato ka ima ga
Amarini watashi ni wa mabushiku te
Toutoku kanjiteita

Itsuka kako wo yuruseru hi ga kuru to ii no ni to omottara namida afureta

Shiroi yuki ga tokete machi ga azayaka ni idotowareru koro mo
Koushite kimi no koto ga daiji de shikata nai watashi de itai

Wakariaenai mama surechigatte hi mo
Namida no hi soshite
Egao afureru hi mo
Sou donna toki datte
Donna kimi daette mo
Itsumo uketomeru yo

Shiroi yuki ga machi wo someru koro ni mo kimi no sobani isasete
Watashi korekara mou komarasete bakari kamo shirenai kedo

Shiroi yuki ga tokete machi ga azayaka ni idotowareru koro mo
Koushite kimi no koto ga daiji de shikata nai watashi de itai

Plus quick translation of the first refrain! IT MAY CONTAIN MISTAKES!! I DO NOT KNOW JAPANESE WELL!!

When the white snow covers the city I want to be by your side
And maybe this time I won't be troubled by questions

This song seems so sad...

Thanks!

Thank you.

Thanks guys... Shiso's version sounds more correct.

I liek this song a whole lot. I just listened to it.

Maybe sad... but also has "positive part" later:

Wakariaenai mama surechigatte hi mo
Namida no hi soshite
Egao afureru hi mo
Sou donna toki datte
Donna kimi daette mo
Itsumo uketomeru yo

which I translate as:

The days that we don't understand pass by
The days of tears
And days filled with laughter
No matter what times,
No matter which "you" I'll meet
I'll always accept it

Here's the first verse.

Hajimete atta hi wo
Ima mo oboeteiru
Tereta you ni kimi wa utsumuite
Me wo sorashite bakari datta ne

I remember the day we first met
Even now
Bashfully, you hung your head
And just averted your eyes.

Sono shigusa wo totemo itoshiku omou you ni natta no wa
Itsu no koro datta ka na
Nandaka natsukashii ne

I wonder when I came to adore
That behavior?
It's sort of familiar.

Yagate ikutsu mo no kisetsu ga bokutachi no mae wo ashibaya ni toorinuketa

Before long, more seasons quickly blew through before us.

I'd translated the first chorus as:

When the white snow colors the city, I'll make myself be by your side.
Maybe I'll just trouble you * from now on.

And the second verse.

Yodooshi hanashiteta
Mirai dato ka ima ga
Amarini watashi ni wa mabushikute
Toutoku kanjiteita

We were up all night talking
About the future and things.
"Now" is too radiant to me.
It felt priceless.

Itsuka kako wo yuruseru hi ga kuru to ii no ni to omottara namida afureta

If I thought that it would be nice for the day to come when I could forgive the past, tears would overflow.

I'm not totally sure about the 2nd chorus, because I can't seem to find the meaning of the verb "idotou" (although she does appear to sing "idotowareru").

* EDIT: Made a mistake! "Komarareru" is to be troubled. "Komaraseru" is to make troubled.

Hye Cheon! THANK YOU for this translation!

But really... I can't wait for oficial lyrics and masa-san's translation

These lovely lyrics make me like the song even more.

i'm at work right now, but since everyone is posting random parts. the first line of the last verse starts off "the white snow has melted" or something along those lines.

Wow, thanks for all the translating work guys!!! :)

Such pritty lyrics. ;_;

I think people need to focus on more pressing issues. Like translating the hi-chew cms...WHAT DO THEY SAY!?

^ LOL, I wanna know what's being said in the beginning of 'girlish'... It sounds like something fresh is going on... o_o

I wanna know what it says in the still cm... Is it something along the lines of "ayumi doesn't want to do this commercial?" (as a joke of course)

sankyou SHISO

yay!! now i finally understand what this songs all about ^^ and me likes!! lol

=D *bows* thank you so much! i can't wait for MASA's official ones...But now I get a GOOD idea. =) THe song is really sweet...and the lyrics..X3

all ya K-singers (chilling feeling rush upon me hehehe) start your orgies now

thx a lot

wow i really like these lyrics. thanks for sharing.

very koos thanks alot

Exactly! Something like:

Shiroi yuki ga tokete machi ga azayaka ni idotowareru koro mo
Koushite kimi no koto ga daiji de shikata nai watashi de itai

TRANSLATION: (big chance of mistakes)

When the white snow melts down illuminating the city
I want to remain myself who treassures you so much

so nice!!

Thanks Prime! It's quite interesting but I'll wait for the kanji version to better understand the lyrics

Here you go:

CAROLS
浜崎あゆみ

作詞：ayumi hamasaki／作曲：Tomoya Kinoshita／編曲：CMJK

初めて会った日を　今も覚えている？
照れたように君はうつむいて
目を反らしてばかりだったね

その仕草をとても　愛しく思うように
なったのはいつの頃だったかな
なんだか懐かしいね

やがていくつもの季節が
僕達の前を足早に通り抜けた

白い雪が街を染める頃にも
君の側にいさせて
私これからも
困らせてばかりかもしれないけど

夜通し話してた　未来だとか今が
あまりに私には眩しくて
尊く感じていた

いつか過去を許せる日が
来るといいのにと思ったら涙溢れた

白い雪が溶けて街が
鮮やかに彩られる頃も
こうして君の事が
大事で仕方ない私でいたい


わかり合えないまま　すれ違った日も
涙の日　そして笑顔溢れる日も
そうどんな時だって
どんな君であっても
いつも受け止めるよ

白い雪が街を染める頃にも
君の側にいさせて
私これからも
困らせてばかりかもしれないけど

白い雪が溶けて街が
鮮やかに彩られる頃も
こうして君の事が
大事で仕方ない私でいたい

From Usen and AyuConnected

Yuppers. Here's a revised, complete translation.

Hajimete atta hi wo ima mo oboeteiru?
Tereta you ni kimi wa utsumuite
Me wo sorashite bakari datta ne

Even now, do you remember the first day we met?
Bashfully, you hung your head
And just averted your eyes.

Sono shigusa wo totemo itoshiku omou you ni natta no wa
Itsu no koro datta ka na
Nandaka natsukashii ne

I wonder when I came to adore
That behavior so much.
It's sort of familiar.

Yagate ikutsu mo no kisetsu ga
Bokutachi no mae wo ashibaya ni toorinuketa

Before long, more seasons
Quickly blew through before us.

Shiroi yuki ga machi wo someru koro ni mo
Kimi no soba ni isasete
Watashi kore kara mo
Komarasete bakari kamo shirenai kedo

Even when the white snow dyes the city,
I'll make myself be by your side.
But maybe I'll just trouble you
From now on.

Yodooshi hanashiteta mirai da to ka ima ga
Amari ni watashi ni wa mabushikute
Toutoku kanjiteita

We were up all night talking about the future and now.
But it's too radiant to me.
It felt priceless.

Itsuka kako wo yuruseru hi ga
Kuru to ii no ni to omottara namida afureta

If I thought "It will be nice when the day comes
that I can forgive the past, though...," tears overflowed.

Shiroi yuki ga tokete machi ga
Azayaka ni irodorareru koro mo
Kou shite kimi ni koto ga
Daiji de shikata nai watashi de itai

Even when the snow melts
And the city is colored vividly,
I will want to be me,
Who can't help but treasure you.

Wakariaenai mama surechigatta hi mo
Namida no hi soshite egao afureru hi mo
Sou donna toki datte
Donna kimi de atte mo
Itsumo uketomeru yo

The days when we disagree because we can't understand eachother,
The days of tears and also the days overflowing with smiling faces,
Yes, whatever the times may be,
However you may be,
I will always accept it.

Shiroi yuki ga machi wo someru koro ni mo
Kimi no soba ni isasete
Watashi kore kara mo
Komarasete bakari kamo shirenai kedo

Even when the white snow dyes the city,
I'll make myself be by your side.
But maybe I'll just trouble you
From now on.

Shiroi yuki ga tokete machi ga
Azayaka ni irodorareru koro mo
Kou shite kimi ni koto ga
Daiji de shikata nai watashi de itai

Even when the snow melts
And the city is colored vividly,
I will want to be me,
Who can't help but treasure you.
