You need to learn Japanese grammar to understand these words or to look them up in the dictionary.
Or, at least, you should provide the whole lyrics of "BESIDE YOU -僕を呼ぶ声-" instead of the list of short segments of words.

you are right, because i am learning Japanese I need to know the root of these words, and some of them cannot have a literally translation in the web and Japanese dictionaries.
i have the whole lyrics and English translation but I'm not sure it is well done (like in some anime subtitles).
do you know some place i can find them?????
 
Is that it?
It was posted on another forum by a certain kingofbeer
 
And the romaji lyrics (and English translation) is in the linked page below.
BoA - Beside You ~Boku Wo Yobu Koe~


For instance

泣きたい時に(nakitai toki ni)
泣く(naku); a verb: to cry
泣き(naki); the adverbial form(the masu-form root) of "naku"
泣きたい(nakitai); "naki" + the auxiliary verb "tai": to want to cry
泣きたい時に(nakitai toki ni): when I want to cry
*"nakitai" in the clause "nakitai toki ni"; the adnominal form of "nakitai"

くれそうな(kuresouna)
くれる(kureru); a verb: to give thing to me
くれ(kure); the adverbial form(the masu-form root) of "kureru"
くれそう(kuresou); "kure" + the auxiliary verb "sou": to seem to give thing to me
くれそうな(kuresouna); the adnominal form of "kuresou"

見えなくて(mienakute)
見る(miru); a verb: to see/look/watch
見える(mieru); the potential form of "miru": to be able to see
見えない(mienai); the nagative form of "mieru": not to be able to see
見えなくて(mienakute); the te-form of "mienai"

強くなっても(tsuyokunattemo)
強い(tsuyoi); an adjective: strong
強く(tsuyoku); the adverbial form of "tsuyoi"
強くなる(tsuyokunaru); "tsuyoku" + the verb "naru": to become strong
強くなって(tsuyokunatte); the te-form of "tsuyokunaru"
強くなっても(tsuyokunattemo): even if I/we/you become strong
*"temo" in the clause "tsuyokunattemo"; an adversative conjunction in a hypothetical conditional clause


Do you really want these explanations regarding grammar? Or, can you interpret, e.g., "tsuyokunattemo" as "even if I/we/you become strong" simply to be answered that "tsuyokunattemo" is from "tsuyoi?"
I think these are pretty complicated for beginners...

Well the grammar points described above are mostly form the JLPT 3kyuu (since I am able to understand them), however for pure beginners that might be indeed hell to understand how the whole combo works...

Uh, again, if you can't figure out even "aitakute" is from "au," probably you can't understand the meaning of the te-form of the compound verb.
I think you'd better to learn Japanese more, and then try to translate it.
 

...and what does the above mean in English?
 
I'm going to give it a shot:

"Hello, kofelsalvador10th!

The below (url) is a completely free PDF document from the Columbian Juan Manuel Cordona.

It was a good aid for me in my study of Japanese. I hope it can help you too

For example, the form NAKITAI means I want to cry: the TAI form of the verb NAKU (to cry) and its successive part."

Alright, so I did some guessing, and didn't bother looking anything up, but I'm guessing that's a pretty decent gist translation.
