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.

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*

That's very clear. Thank you. I'll change this part.

Perhaps Mata me is Me to me.
Because Mata me isn't natural to the next sentence.
But the meaning doesn't change much.

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.

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?

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.

"Because of You" Translation

This is the translation of Because of You, I hope you like it as much as I do!!!!



"Because of You"


*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 gotten cold
Laughing voices fill the air with white breath
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
