I would actually love to sing this song in Japanese.

It's called Adam's song. (Not trying to post non Japanese music here. Asking for the translation to a good song. [looking at you, grandpa frank])

Okay here's lyrics.


I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known
I trace the cord back to the wall, no wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed, to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

I never conquered rarely came
Sixteen just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, I'd survived
I couldn't wait, till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone.
I never thought, I'd die alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things, too all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilt the cup
Of apple juice, in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault

I never conquered rarely came
Sixteen just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, I'd survived
I couldn't wait, till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone.
[Bridge]

I never conquered rarely came
Sixteen just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, I'd survived
I couldn't wait, till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone.

Please translate into Romaji (transliteration into the English language)
 
Way too much to ask of someone , but someone may give you a link to something that will do it. I have a feeling that when it's translated like that , word for word , it won't make a lot of sense in Japanese (but I'm no expert).

I found the kanji for it, I just need the romaji.
 
I never thought I'd die alone
一人で死ぬとは思わなかった
I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
一番笑い声が大きかったのは僕なのに
I trace the cord back to the wall
コードを壁までたどったけど
No wonder, it was never plugged in at all
接続されてなくても驚かないね
I took my time, I hurried up
時間をかけて、急いだんだ
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
選択は僕のものだったけどもっと考えればよかった
I'm too depressed to go on
生き抜くには悲しすぎるんだ
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
僕がいなくなれば後悔するよ

chorus

I never conquered, rarely came
成功なんてほとんどしなかった
16 just held such better days
16はとても良い日々を過ごしました
Days when I still felt alive
もっと生きてる心地がした日々
We couldn't wait to get outside
外に出るのが待ちきれなかった
The world was wide, too late to try
世界は広くて、試すには遅すぎる
The tour was over, we'd survived
旅は終わり、生き残った
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
家に帰るのが待ち遠しかった
To pass the time in my room alone
部屋で一人きりで時間をつぶすのを

verse

I never thought I'd die alone
一人で死ぬとは思わなかった
Another six months, I'll be unknown
あと6ヶ月もすればきっとぼくは忘れられる
Give all my things to all my friends
僕のものは友達にあげて
You'll never step foot in my room again
きっとだれも僕の部屋に足を踏み入れない
You'll close it off, board it up
監禁して、板を張って
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
りんごジュースを廊下で
Of apple juice in the hall
こぼしたのを思い出す
Please tell Mom this is not her fault
母さんに彼女のせいじゃないと伝えて

chorus

I never conquered, rarely came
成功なんてほとんどしなかった

家に帰るのが待ち遠しかった
To pass the time in my room alone
部屋で一人きりで時間をつぶすのを

chorus

I never conquered, rarely came
成功なんてほとんどしなかった
Tomorrow holds such better days
明日はとても良い日が待っています
Days when I can still feel alive
もっと生きてる心地がした日々
When I can't wait to get outside
外に出るのが待ちきれないとき
The world is wide, the time goes by
世界は広い、時間は過ぎていく
The tour is over, I'll survive
ツアーは終わった、私は生き残るだろう
And I can't wait 'til I get home
そして家に帰るまで待ちきれません
To pass the time in my room alone
部屋で一人きりで時間をつぶすのを
 
While I do have the skills to do this, you're not paying me so... I plugged it into AI and spotchecked a handful and it seems correct.

I never thought I'd die alone
Hitori de shinu to wa omowanakatta

I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
Ichiban waraigoe ga ookikatta no wa boku na no ni

I trace the cord back to the wall
Koodo wo kabe made tadotta kedo

No wonder, it was never plugged in at all
Setsuzoku sarete nakutemo odorokanai ne

I took my time, I hurried up
Jikan wo kakete, isoidan da

The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
Sentaku wa boku no mono datta kedo motto kangaereba yokatta

I'm too depressed to go on
Ikinuku ni wa kanashisugiru n da

You'll be sorry when I'm gone
Boku ga inakunareba koukai suru yo

chorus
I never conquered, rarely came
Seikou nante hotondo shinakatta

16 just held such better days
Juuroku wa totemo yoi hibi wo sugoshimashita

Days when I still felt alive
Motto ikiteru kokochi ga shita hibi

We couldn't wait to get outside
Soto ni deru no ga machikirenakatta

The world was wide, too late to try
Sekai wa hiroku te, tamesu ni wa osugiru

The tour was over, we'd survived
Tabi wa owari, ikinokotta

I couldn't wait 'til I got home
Ie ni kaeru no ga machidooshikatta

To pass the time in my room alone
Heya de hitorikiri de jikan wo tsubusu no wo

verse
I never thought I'd die alone
Hitori de shinu to wa omowanakatta

Another six months, I'll be unknown
Ato rokkagetsu mo sureba kitto boku wa wasurerareru

Give all my things to all my friends
Boku no mono wa tomodachi ni agete

You'll never step foot in my room again
Kitto dare mo boku no heya ni ashi wo fumiirenaI

You'll close it off, board it up
Kankin shite, ita wo hatte

Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Ringo juusu wo rouka de

Of apple juice in the hall
Koboshita no wo omoidasu

Please tell Mom this is not her fault
Kaasan ni kanojo no sei ja nai to tsutaete

chorus
I never conquered, rarely came
Seikou nante hotondo shinakatta

16 just held such better days
Juuroku wa totemo yoi hibi wo sugoshimashita

Days when I still felt alive

Ie ni kaeru no ga machidooshikatta

To pass the time in my room alone
Heya de hitorikiri de jikan wo tsubusu no wo

chorus
I never conquered, rarely came
Seikou nante hotondo shinakatta

Tomorrow holds such better days
Ashita wa totemo yoi hi ga matteimasu

Days when I can still feel alive
Motto ikiteru kokochi ga shita hibi

When I can't wait to get outside
Soto ni deru no ga machikirenai toki

The world is wide, the time goes by
Sekai wa hiroi, jikan wa sugiteiku

The tour is over, I'll survive
Tsua wa owatta, watashi wa ikinokoru darou

And I can't wait 'til I get home
Soshite ie ni kaeru made machikirenai

To pass the time in my room alone
Heya de hitorikiri de jikan wo tsubusu no wo
