[ruth~route]

anyone knows L'arc's "good morning hide" ? e album wrote dat e lyrics was written by sakura dat x-drummer. does it means he wrote them in english by himself, or some1 elses translated wat he wrote in jap? ☝

If the lyrics are in English, that means he wrote them in English.

but the problem is the album have both jap and eng lyrics.

Well... is it Japanese/English for all of the songs? If THAT is so, then he probably didn't write the English ones. Look among the credits, it might have something for a translator or something.

He may not have written them himself, but as it is if they are a direct translation, they may be a bit confusing. Sometimes albums will come with translated lyrics which are usually direnct translations and dont make much sense in english. If the song is sung in english, then he probably wrote the english lyrics. ^-^

It's been a while since I've listened to this song, but I remember it pretty well. Yes, the English lyrics are pretty horrible. If I recall, Sakura wrote it in Japanese and it was "translated" into English by someone else (not a member of the band -- I think it was a female name, maybe a manager or staff person?) who is obviously not a professional translator of any sort. In fact, it almost sounds like a machine translation (like Babelfish or something).

If you have the original CD with liner notes, you can see the original Japanese version of the lyrics, which (needless to say) make a whole lot more sense. It's kind of unfortunate that they didn't get a better translation, or didn't just sing it in Japanese, because the bizarre English really ruins what is otherwise a decent enough song.

I mean, I know that their target audience isn't native English speakers, but even for a Japanese listener who has a relatively good command of English, those lyrics must sound pretty embarrassing.
