Less literal, but definitely more lyrical. I like it.I would go for "This Life for You"
I would translate it myself that but I have but I have maybe two Kanji technically memorized and thats about it....for my extent of Japanese..for the moment I never expected to get this translated right away I fully expected it to take a while I just wanted a little assistance...really.I'd translate it either as "this/my life is for you" or "this life that is for you"
As for the lyrics. We help those that help themselves. Give it a shot before you ask us to do the work for you. Also, translating stuff in romaji is like hopping backwards on one foot; it's much easier to translate stuff that's actually written in Japanese.
yeah I do get what you mean i think I will take off the lyrics...and just leave it as finding out the title...like I orginally thought...like I said I would have tried to translate it myself...but I am very,very new to Japanese and don't know the first thing about simple translation apart from how its suppoused to work but I saved the lyrics to a file on my computer.......so I guess when i get better at my Japanese skills sorry for coming off rude didn't mean to do that I will go back and edit the post nowI would translate the title similarly to Nice Gaijin. I would go for "This Life for You".
And I second his comment about making an effort yourself before asking for help. Otherwise it sounds too much like you want us to do it for you rather than with you. As has been stated before, this is not a translation service, after all!
Good luck!
I have to respectfully disagree. I think the title is actually pretty cut and dry.I think its overly vague, in that the title could read something what 'how your life has been going.'
Just speaking personally, if all I knew was the title "This life is for you" in English, without appreciating the subtle limitations of "inochi" in Japanese, it would conjure a variety of meanings largely related to "your" present social/physical life/environment being a good fit, as a call to make "your" life as meaningful as possible and perhaps lastly as a statement of feeling from another person.Further, I think it's best to try to preserve the original text in terms of meaning and nuance when translating, because most people wouldn't understand the original text even if they did see it (otherwise what would the use of translating it be?) and so the translation becomes the closest thing that most people have to the original text. When the text is altered (even just stylistically), it alters the perception of it that the reader has. I think that is bad, as it leads to misunderstanding down the road.
I think I agree with you on this one i just recently found a clip on Youtube of this PV that actually has subtitles and from what the subs are translating to its about a guy that is obsessed with peeping at a girl across from his apartment through his window...and apparently he lives entirely out of apartment and wants to meet this girl but because of his obsession he can't....and apparently he films this girl on video and and takes pictures of the girl.My vote for most moving translation goes to "My Life is for you."
In any case, for anyone not familiar with the Japanese word "Inochi" (life) it is definitely another human life being offered, not way of living or lifestyle or a person talking to themselves.
Hi everybody!
One of my favorite karaoke songs is Inochi Kurenai. I guess that translates as, "You won't give me your love"?
Inochi means a human life, kurenai however is a more casual form of kudasai. So its something like "Won't you give me your life".
Thats also true, I didnt really think of it like that lol. I dont really know that song ^^
