ok maybe not so accurate because the 2 languages are completely different but something that's close?

no, i actually wrote a song in english....
and the lyrics r kinda like something u wouldn't sing in english....it sounds like a story.
so i just wanted to translate the song all into japanese, to see if it sounds alright. XD
and i dont know anyone thats japanese, so i usually rely on translators to help me, but most arent quite accurate.
so i just wanna know if accurate translators exist. lol.

aiteee then, hope a_kikoo will see this post and help me.......

so the song's called "heartbreak": (I only made up 2 verses)

(Verse 1)
I laugh and the sweet sadness ends,
Is that how happiness works?
Once more, I've fallen for you.
Once more, another heartbreak comes.

Through lonely nights,
I only find comfort in myself.
I can make my own happiness,
But it isn't as good as yours.

(Verse 2)
Silence begins and the damage is done.
Just like a quiet audience,
Only our eyes speak our thoughts.
And the heartbreak begins.

Broken telephone,
Is what we've been playing all along.
I can make my own happiness,
but it isn't as good as yours.

yep, thats pretty much it. I wrote it that way, cuz whenever i read the translated versions of hikki's songs, they kinda have this really deep feeling that i tried to put in this song. but thats just the beginning, ill improve as i write more. (hopefully)

Well, I'm not sure if Akiko really speaks Japanese, but as a native French man, I can translate your song to the beautiful language of Korean....

Gah, after HOURS of struggling...
I had to tweak your lyrics abit and make them short as possible, while keeping the meaning same.
The translation were pretty direct, I dont know about poetry skills.
ahh, as you can see my grammar sux
Hope somebody could correct me on this

I do have a Japanese teacher but I havnt been to lesson for years..


I laugh and the sweet sadness ends,Is that how happiness works?
私の笑いが、悲しみは終わる。 幸せの概念ですか?
Watashi no warai ga, kanashimi wa owaru. Shiawase no gainendesu ka?

Once more, I've fallen for you.
もう、私はあなたを落ちた。
Mō, watashi wa anata o ochita.

Once more, another heartbreak comes.
もう、別の失恋が来る。
Mō,betsu no shitsuren ga kuru.

Through lonely nights,I only find comfort in myself.
孤独な夜に 、私は自分を慰める探し。
Kodokuna yoru ni, watashi wa jibun o nagusameru sagashi

I can make my own happiness,
But it isn't as good as yours.

Silence begins and the damage is done.
沈黙が起動し、損傷した
Chinmoku ga kidō shi, sonshō shita

Like a quiet audience,
静か聴衆のように
Shizuka chōshū no yō ni

only our eyes speak our thoughts.

And the heartbreak begins
失恋が始まる
Shitsuren ga hajimaru

Broken telephone,
Is what we've been playing all along.
I can make my own happiness,
but not as good as yours.
