"we unlinked hands" is fine too....but it depends on the meaning of the japanese original.

"we unlinked hands and walked", implies a seperation and then going on alone
"we walked without holding hands", implies that they walked without holding hands....nothing more....and sounds like a child's sentence. put that one back too.

please listen to me, I am English, English was one of my best Subjects at school, and I am an English teacher, and a writer.

I got my own lyrics site, and I use your translations masa, but I do change the odd word sometimes....I'd just prefer that everyone who reads a translation of ayu's lyrics gets the best version possible.

thanks for your efforts!

I'm American and understood what the word "trifles" meant perfectly. Just because you are English does not mean you have more of a grasp on the language. Your entire post sounds very elitist to me. Britain and America's English quite obviously possess many differences, but that doesn't make one or the other correct.
