I would like to start this entry by stating that I am rather VERY MUCH into Macross Frontier. So great is my love for Macross F that I even attempted to translate the 2nd ending song of the show -Diamond Crevasse- (TV Cut) despite the fact that I am lacking in proficiency for the language because my weaboo journey in taking japanese classes had only began 5 months ago.
I am now going to attempt to figure out the lyrics by listening to the song so let’s see how far can a noob advance with only love and courage.
The Sojourner’s Attempt
kami sama ni koi o shiteta koro wa
konna wakare ga kuru towa omottenakatta yo
it’s long long good bye <—- The easiest part
sayonara sayonara… nando datte
jibun ni *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* kikasete
*BEEP* *BEEP* *desu desu desu!!!*
*BEEP* ga hoshii
anata ni deai, *BEEP* *Shinkuuuuuu miissiillllleeeee!!!111*
ai sureba koso, ai areba koso
*fumofu!* *fumofu!* *fumofu!*
hitori jya nai to *BEEP* planet.
So basically it is translated like this according to my 1337 skills
When I was so in love with god,
this seperation was never expected.
It’s long long good bye.
Over and over again, I say my farewells. (But I do not understand the datte part)
I tell myself *BEEP*
*gero gero gero gero gero gero*
I desire for *melonpan*
My encounter with you… *leeeeroooooyyyy*
If there is love, *urgh I just realised how illogical this next part was so it failed too*
*BEEP*
Not alone? *mikuru beam!* planet….
Oh for Frodo’s sake! I had spent 3 hours acting like an idiot by constantly rewinding the youtube video which I was using as reference to figure out the lyrics. So yes, go ahead. LAUGH at me. Also as you can see, I am pretty weak at ‘deciphering’ colloquial stuff and my vocabulary is far from being reasonable.
The Pre-Order for Sheryl Nome starring May’n-Don’t Be Late is out now, so grab them before they are gone.
And if you want REAL translations instead of the Fumblings of Sojourner™, refer to Atashi’s post on Diamond Crevasse.
This has been a rather pointless post and speaking of the Japanese language, I have to meet a few Japanese businessmen for lunch tomorrow. This sucks and I suck too.
