A Lyric Translation

Hello, everyone.

I started translating a song called "Where Is The Love" by Black Eyed Peas. I heard this song is great from my friend and was introduced to the lyric of this song. This lyric looks great, but I can't understand the song, so I decided to translate the lyric. I wanna translate this, because I wanna know the song well. I think it is so difficult to translate English lyrics to Japanese ones. I hope someone help me to translate this lyric or correct my translations for the lyric...

Where Is The Love Lyrics - The Black Eyed Peas

I have translated the lyric simply for the meanwhile.

Hmm, It is so difficult... (^^;

I hope someone corrects these lyrics, if possible...

It is a very interesting song and I think you understand it at a very deep level. I wish someone would give some feedback, though, too....

I've never heard it obviously, but it sounds almost like some parts should be spoken and not sung -- it is very grammatically normal (sound) for song lyrics. Is it the same in Japanese ? :?

Father father father help usﾂ ﾂ神窶堙ｦﾂ ﾂ神窶堙ｦﾂ ﾂ神窶堙ｦﾂ ﾅｽ窶樞?傳窶堙ｰ窶堋ｨ窶ｹ~窶堋｢窶ｰﾂｺ窶堋ｳ窶堋｢
- Father in this usage translates as chichi. If father is to be converted to God, given that the succeeding lyrics form a prayer, father is in the vocative case (direct address). The correct honorific therefore is needed - thus, "kamisama." The overall tone of the song is both informal and plainitive, so I believe the best translation (if there can be a single "best") for this line would probably be
"chichi chichi nee chichi."
"watashtachi wo" deleted: seems to be an over-translation.
"tasukete"

ACK! I didn't notice that Mac was a student of the English language.

Gomen, Macsan.

This song is classified as rap - and it uses a lot of dialect (hogen). Mama, drama and trauma do not rhyme in standard English, but they are pronounced as rhyming words in this song.

A simpler text would probably serve better as a translation exercise ... Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice," for example. Joudan yo.

Learning songs is a very good aid in learning a language. However, it would be better to start with songs that are closer to standard English.

Hello, Kaminari-san.

Thank you so much for you opinion. I am glad.

Maybe, the word "father" means "chichi",
but even so, I think I should have translated like that,
because "chichi chichi chichi" or "otosan otosan otosan" sound very weird for us.

"watashitachi wo osukui-kudasai"
Yes, I think it is an over-translation.
But most of Japanese Christians often say like that,
so I translated like that.

I have re-translated the lyrics of this song recently.
Here are the new translations. I think the new translations are about 75% correct. Hehe.

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all? (I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all? (I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?

[*Repeat]

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

Actually, I have not re-translated the sentences yet.

I also have no confidence in these translations.

But most of Japanese would not know the meaning.
So I need to make the translation easier.
I am also not good at Japanese.
So I can't think up the translation for the sentence for now that everyone can understand.

Liternal translations always sound weird.
This is why translating lyrics is hard.

I will re-taranslate the rest of them again later.

In standard English "Too many people are living (behaving) as if they do not have mothers" (in short, people behaving like 窶堙｢窶堙ｫ)

This is a big help to me, Mac. Self study suffers from the lack of opportunity to practice - and you seem to be much farther advanced in English than I am in Japanese.

I would like to revisit that line "father, father, father help us" :- have you ever watched Nadesico?
