Okay, all of these lyrics are the property of Shiina Ringo and Toshiba and all that good stuff. I hear Toshiba is pretty protective of their material, but I don't guess I should care since this is just some crappy geocities site that might get 4 hits per year.
The translations are by me, Jerry Neighbors. I'm more of a literal translator, and try to leave some things closer to the original meaning rather than assign my own arbitrary interpretation. This is especially a problem with lyrics that don’t consist solely of “I love you, let’s have sex”, but I hope you can give me your honorable forgiveness concerning the pieces of English that seem practically meaningless. That having been said, nobody’s perfect, and there are surely instances in which I am not portraying as perfectly as ideal what Ringo is trying to say.. So if you happen to be a better translator than I am, please go ahead and email me to tell me how stupid I am. |
