I did a rough Kagome translation back in September...

There's no going back anymore. You can't escape from here.

Living in a cage made of woven bamboo,
If I only cry on moonlit nights, will you forgive me?
Despite surviving in this bamboo cage,
When the night of the dawn comes, I'm still waiting for something

You're so gentle, so gentle to me
I don't know the real you

Again, little by little, the commotion disappears
There's no need to continue shielding your eyes as you have

Living in a cage made of woven bamboo,
You'll surely fly again. Believe in that day
Looking up at the stained sky, thinking of the Mountain of the Gods,
Waiting for a new eastern wind to blow
I'm still praying

I'm on spring break this week, so I'll work on the others as a little side project.

The OBI contains the Chinese translation of her Japanese song titles

[GRACE]

that's true , I didn't expect it's the whole OBI strip , I thought it might be a tiny one but definitely wasn't expecting this at all

[chocopockymaster]

pom- sure sure, go ahead and post the translation. Maybe I'll have a couple more up today...

Falling in love, crying,
There are endless paths to take
But living is the one choice
We continue to make

As long as there's love, it'll be okay
Everything else will set you free
With a smile, we'll go out
and face that shapeless tomorrow

The rules that govern this world
Are the result of someone's decisions
Would I follow only the rules
that teach us to be better?

Stars and the moon, night and dawn
If you can feel everything,
You can believe in what you can't see
And move forward

Embrace the tenderness,
For there is nothing that binds your spirit
Your future is surely sleeping
Somewhere deep within your own heart

As long as there's love, it'll be okay
For there is nothing that binds your spirit
Your future is surely sleeping
Somewhere deep within your own heart

As long as there's love, it'll be okay
Everything else will set you free
With a smile, we'll go out
and face that shapeless tomorrow

I think the lyrics made me appreciate the song a little more...

"I'm here, just turn around"
That voice spoke to me

The buds that earnestly bloomed
showed their faces there, and seemed to smile
Somehow, they reminded me of myself
Beautifully wavering

The seed of green in the forest of the city-
its gentleness helped me remember
the love and dreams I'd given up on
and they began to breathe again

Since then, a feeling sprouted within me
That I should maybe wake up early
I want to see you...and my heart sprung to life
My own little happiness

The petals that bloomed in the brilliance
are destined to scatter and fall
But you taught me that the strength of life
Is eternal

Over and over, the days repeat themselves
I can't go at my own pace
I wonder if someday, a flower will bloom inside me too
From my heart that holds a seed of green

Have translations been posted for the album tracks, as well? I could do those too.

Those letters I stopped writing
Sleeping inside my drawer
I wonder if I should write again, if you're well

There's a place I can go back to
There's people I can see
The support of my friends held me up

I turn through my memories like a book,
but you, my friend, are irreplaceable
I wonder if I've changed after relying solely on you

I'm so glad to have met you
I am truly glad
I await the day we can meet again

Laughing openly at foolish things
And just one nod from you after a fall
Would save me-- thank you.

No matter how much distance separates us
Our connection will never be broken
Because we are living in the same age, under the same sky

I turn through my memories like a book
You're important to me, my friend
Don't worry, I have no complaints

I won't ever lose
The parts of me that shape who I am
Even if tomorrow comes, I'll walk on

I turn through my memories like a book,
but you, my friend, are irreplaceable
I wonder if I've changed after relying solely on you

I'm so glad to have met you
I am truly glad
I await the day we can meet again

...sorry for the triple post! O_O

[PoetGirl]

chocopockymaster you are seriously wonderful :O thanks a lot

[pommy48]

omg !!!! chocopockymaster, you are amazing!!! thank you so much for all the translations! it's much easier to appreciate more of alan's songs now that we know the meaning

and i don't think anyone translated the album tracks yet, except for Together, but Yume no Garden, Tsuki ga Watashi, BRAVE need translations

[Ashiya]

Omg, Kuon no Kawa is sung in a lower key than the Mandarin version. For some reason it really grates on my nerves...@_@

[mcken200]

thanks for translations pockymaster,

i love kuon no kawa it does sound different to mandarian version, seems to have lost a bit of its soul and heart that alan put in Chi Bi. But its still a nice alternative even though it became slightly lost in translation.

[chocopockymaster]

Hehe, you guys are welcome! I'm still plodding along...hopefully I'll be able to finish them all before spring break ends. (What about her earlier b-sides? Are there translations of those?)

I fell head over heels in love with Chi Bi when I heard it, but whoever said that Kuon no Kawa grates on their nerves...I agree completely. It lost a lot of it's epic-ness.

[pommy48]

my stage
東京未明
君想フ空

don't have translations, i think the wailing in kuon no kawa kinda makes up for it, though i really wanted to hear her be all opera like in it >_>

[mcluva420]

i actually like her opera-ness xD

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

^ Same here.

@pommy, unless chocopockymaster knows Tibetian, she (he?) won't be able to translate.
Sorry choco, I don't know what gender you are.
