Voyage lyrics help

jon_the_d · #1 28th December 2007, 05:34 PM

Hi, I'm trying to get my head round the lyrics to voyage, but I need help!

my japanese is poor, although I know chinese well so know many of the kanji, but still I need you to help me understand which line is saying what.

If it doesn't make sense as a sentence don;t worry, I'll work it out, but I would like to know what the japanese on each line "means" exactly, word for word.

this is the part:

何度道に迷ったのだろう
その度にあたたかい手を

差しのべてくれたのも
あなたでした

僕達はこの長い旅路の
果てに何を想う
誰も皆愛求め彷徨う
旅人なんだろう
共に行こう飽きる程に

Nando michi ni mayotta no darou
Sono tabi ni atatakai te wo

Sashi nobete kureta no mo
Anata deshita

Bokutachi wa kono nagai tabiji no
Hate ni nani wo omou
Dare mo minna ai motome samayou
Tabibito nan darou
Tomo ni ikou akiru hodo ni

Thanks for your help!

Sorry I didn't make it word for word,but I think it's something like this,
sorry if I made mistakes XD

How many -nando
times have I gotten lost? -michi ni mayotta no darou
Every time, the one who extended his -sono tabi ni atatakai te wo

warm helping hand was you. - sashi nobete kureta no mo anata deshita.

*At the end of this long path, what will we think? - Bokutachi wa kono nagai tabiji no
Hate ni nani wo omou

Everyone is a traveler, wandering about in search of love. - Dare mo minna ai motome samayou.

Let's go together until we tire of it. -Tabibito nan darou,Tomo ni ikou akiru hodo ni.

hmmmm.

thanks for your efforts, but i really need it word for word...can anyone else help?

what do these words mean? [EDIT:] We have worked out most of them, now the ones in bold are the only ones we need help with, thanks!

mayotta.........to become lost
tabi...............trip/journey
atatakai..........warm/genial
sashinobete.....to hold out/reach out
kureta............gave (?)
nagai.............long
tabiji.............journey
hate..............the end/the result
motome..........search for/pursue
samayou.........wander/roam
tabibito...........traveller
tomoni.............together
ikou................go? (is the romaji wrong?)
akiru...............tire of
hodo..............degree/limit

hm, sorry, there's actually quite a few there isn't there. If anyone can help with these words I'd be relaly really grateful!!!

[EDIT:] I just tried to find out myself using an online dictionary (which used romaji interestingly enough) although some had a couple of meanings so I'm guessing I picked the right one, some i had no clue so left with a "?", and some I wasn;t sure of so have put what I though but also a "(?)".

can someone help me figure these out please?!?!

Thanks!

what is 'nobete' i don't know, may be 'nobe te'??

see the changes I made in the above post, the words with a ? or (?) I think i still need halp with, cos sandbanks and futures/credit can't be right?

[EDIT]: just found out that sashi and nobete should be one word - from sashiboberu!

mayotta is form of this word

i think sashi is a form of this

jon_the_d · #9 29th December 2007, 10:49 AM

no sashinobete is a form of sasahinoberu. the two words are actually one! see my above post! I keep editing it.

Ayumi_lover · #10 29th December 2007, 10:51 AM

jon_the_d · #19 29th December 2007, 11:35 AM

can someone please explain to me this line:

旅人なんだろう

what does なんだろう mean?

come to think of it, what does だろう mean too?

旅人 = traveller, I got that, what does 旅人なんだろう mean together?

Ayumi_lover · #20 29th December 2007, 11:43 AM

"~ darou" is a plain form of "~ deshou," and means "will probably."
