Arigatoo gozaimasu minna-san. I will further investigate this stuff and together with the corrections noted will attempt my own translation.
This is usually not my type of music. But I stumbled upon it when checking out the page for the Boredoms. But I must admit it is catchy and the video is bizarrely good.

Hello guys can anyone please helps me 
: I want to translate this letter from English into Japanese (hiragana)
Baby, I'm sorry !
My beautiful Daria,
Let me begin by saying that I know this letter will not excuse what I've done. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness.
I love you and I can't hide that. I never meant to hurt you and I cannot express enough how awful I feel .
I am sorry for pushing you to be with me even though you asked me not to do so. Please know that my utter lack of judgment and immense stupidity are by no means a reflection of my feelings for you.
It is my hope that you will find this letter to be a reassurance of my respect and admiration, which grow more and more every day we are together.
Most of all, I'm sorry for how this has made you feel.
You are my star. I'll be lost without you.
I cannot imagine my life without you.
I hope you can find it in your heart to try to forgive me. I miss you and want nothing more than to make this right.
With deepest regret,
Kais

Oh, now I see!
You want to impress her with what a genuine and sincere guy you are by giving her the letter in Japanese so it looks like you really toiled over it....while in actuality you just go online and have others do the work for you, showing that you probably really are the devious and untrustworthy snake-in-the-weeds she discovered you to be when you "pushed her to be with you" even though she said "no". (Isn't that usually just a nice way of saying "rape" or "sexual assault"?)
You're a very clever fellow!
Go ahead and send her a written admission of the crime so she'll have something concrete to show the judge and you can be sent to a PMITA prison and afterwards spend the rest of your life on the sexual offenders registry and have a sign in your front yard.
My, what a clever fellow.
I am muslim, pushing her was just because I asked her to be my Girlfriend even though I know she broke up with an other guy just before I met her. I was trying to make her take the decision quickly

I edited my post to use your actual words, but your reply came prior to finishing the edit. "Pushed you to be with me" despite being told "no" sounds like date rape instead of asking someone to be your girlfriend. I strongly suggest rewording that part.
At any rate, do you plan to tell her the Japanese letter you want is entirely the work of other people? Or do you wish us to be a party to deceiving her?

此が我が為した事の弁明たり得ぬの明白なる事、我が重々認識せし事より先ずは文を始めねばならぬ。
汝が許しを得る為ならば我は如何なることをも為す所存なり。
秘匿し得ぬほど我は汝を愛すなり。
汝を損なうこと、我、如何様にも意図せず。我が如何に畏怖したるか言う能わざるなり。
汝が固辞にも拘らず汝を我に追随せしむること、我は深謝するなり。
完璧なる見識の欠如と途方も無き愚鈍は熟慮の果てでは有り得ぬ事、汝に知らしめたし。
相伴する毎、日々募り行く我が尊崇と賞賛を此の文より再認せらるることを我は希望するなり。
そも、此文汝の如何に想うや。
汝は我が星なり。汝無くば我は存在し得ず。
汝無き人生は想定し得ぬ。
汝が内に我への寛容の萌芽が見出されんことを請い願う。
汝無きて寂寞たり。此を正さざる外欲せざるなり。
深き悔恨の念と共に
If she is a Japanese teacher, she would be able to understand this letter.

What difference does being Muslim have on the situation? Somehow that implies to me at least that it forgives you your indiscretions when dealing with a female?!?! You knew she had just broken up with someone and you admit you were trying to force her to make her decision about you "quickly" as well.
To me at least that sounds like you were forcing yourself on her.
Try backing up a bit and try to understand that you really didn't come off too well here and maybe you should try over, with the details, before you ask someone to do you a favor.
Thank you so much for the advice

Either way, good luck, just keep in mind that honesty in a relationship is number 1, let her know that you had someone translate that letter for you. Give her both the English and Japanese copies when you do and let her make her mind up on what she wants.
Do yourself another favor as well, give her time, don't push it. If you do you just might end up being disappointed.

I hope this is not an irony.
@ The OP, I ensure my translation is quite correct. But the sentence style is a BIT old, probably a hundred years or so ago. That's why I wrote "if she is a Japanese teacher", i.e., non-advanced learners who don't know classical Japanese might not be able to understand my translation.

I thought it was an absolutely brilliant piece of work.

Oh no, not by any means. Your translation posted while I was in the middle of my reply. I was hoping that he would have come back and rephrased his request but you beat me to the punch! Good show!
Hello
I am back
I had to go offline because it was 3 Am so I had to get some rest to be able to wake up around 8 I'm stuck on the following sentence:
ジャックとの約束は寝ていようが食っていようがいつバトルを仕掛けてもいいってことだからね
I've tried looking around for what "いいってことだからね" means, but I can't find anything, so I'm not sure what's it's trying tosay overall.
I originally got "I made a promise with Jack because I wanted to challenge him to a battle, whether I was sleeping or eating" which is completely off.

Isn't it more like "My and Jack's promise was that it's alright to start a battle, even should the other be found asleep or eating"? My English is probably a bit off there, but you get the point. In my opinion the nuance is more that they promise each other that it's alright to start a battle whenever, than promising to start a battle whenever.
I know, it's a subtle difference, but in the former case there necessarily doesn't need to be battles, even though it's allowed, whereas in the latter case there will definitely be battles. I confirmed this nuance from a native speaker, just in case, and he agreed.
Also, BigBoss4, The "いい" in your "いいってことだからね" is actually a part of "仕掛けてもいい", so you should think about it this way: "仕掛けてもいい" plus "ってことだからね" (ということだからね). That said, the "ってことだからね" is kind of just affirming that "that's the promise we had you know".
