Translated Lyrics

by Kari Avalon | February 3rd, 2010

… since I have a feeling that I’ll be doing this for a while.. it might be wiser to set aside a anchor page for my lyric translations.

The lyrics I translate are not entirely accurate for I am an amateur, but they should be better than auto-translators.

Moreover, other than translating songs I like (often from a particular series or something), this is a way for me to continue “studying” Japanese and to understand for myself what the song is saying.

Lastly, because my work clearly shows indications of my amateurism, I suggest that you only use them as aids than to use them beyond its purpose. If you do insist on using the translation beyond its purpose, then I suggest cross-referencing other existing translations if possible and reinterpret the lines to flow accordingly because many of my lines are pretty shaky and likely to be pretty inaccurate (and for that, I apologize ;; ).

Anyway… I hope these translated lyrics help contribute further to the enjoyment, interest, or curiosity of whatever song you seek~

They’re sorted by “series” by the way. Some songs crossover due to shared origins.

Umineko no Naku Koro Ni – うみね このなく頃に

Umineko no Naku Koro Ni – うみね このなく頃に: Rokkenjima in Love

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni – ひぐらしのなく頃に

Vocaloid:

Looking for Japanese Lyrics:

These songs are related to the series above.. but there’s hardly any lyrics I can find on my own. If you can salvage the lyrics and share them with me, it’d be wonderful (and an honor) to translate~
