Sad,hopeless,gloomy,depressing,troubled,unhappy days.
So besides studies and surfing,for refreshment of mind this time i tried to translate one of my fav. song.It`s a pretty damn good song!

Please excuse the exchange of the word 'boat' and 'ship' because ship really works with 'spaceship' and 'boat' really works with 'row.This is a great ending theme song for My Boss My Hero.




宙船(そらふね)
Sorafune
Words/Music: Nakashima Miyuki


その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na

その船は今どこに　ふらふらと浮かんでいるのか
sono fune wa ima doko ni fura fura to ukandeiru no ka
その船は今どこで　ボロボロで進んでいるのか
sono fune wa ima doko de boro boro de susundeiru no ka
流されまいと逆らいながら
nagasaremai to sakarainagara
船は挑み　船は傷み
fune wa idomi fune wa itami
すべての水夫が恐れをなして逃げ去っても
subete no suifu ga osore wo nashite nigesattemo

その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na

その船は自らを宙船と　忘れているのか
sono fune wa mizukara wo sorafune to wasureteiru no ka
その船は舞い上がるその時を　忘れているのか
sono fune wa maiagaru sono toki wo wasureteiru no ka
地平の果て　水平の果て
chihei no hate suihei no hate
そこが船の離陸地点
soko ga fune no ririku chiten
すべての港が灯りを消して黙り込んでも
subete no minato ga tomori wo keshite damarikondemo

その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na

何の試験の時間なんだ　何を裁く秤なんだ
nan no shiken no jiken nanda nani no sabaku hakari nanda
何を狙って付き合うんだ　何が船を動かすんだ
nani wo neratte tsukiaunda nani ga fune wo ugokasunda
何の試験の時間なんだ　何を裁く秤なんだ
nan no shiken no jiken nanda nan no sabaku hakari nanda
何を狙って付き合うんだ　何が船を動かすんだ
nani wo neratte tsukiaunda nani ga fune wo ugokasunda

その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na
その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na


Spaceship
Words/Music: Nakashima Miyuki

*Row that boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't entrust your oars
To those who'd delight in your demise

Is that boat somewhere
Floating unsteadily?
Is that boat somewhere
Moving forward battered and broken?
It resists being washed away
(This ship) is defiance
(This ship) is damaged
Even if all the sailors run away with fear

Row that boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't entrust your oars
To those who'd delight in your demise

Did that boat forget
that it, in itself, is a spaceship?
Did that boat forget
that it once soared high?
The end of the earth
The end of the (sea)
That is the ship's take off point
Even if all the harbors are burnt and charred to oblivion

Row that boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't entrust your oars
To those who'd delight in your demise

It's time for what kind of test?
It's a scale to measure what?
For what purpose are you together?
What's moving the boat?
t's time for what kind of test?
It's a scale to measure what?
For what purpose are you together?
What's moving the boat?

*Repeat x2

Wow, Japan is purdy. You REALLY see autumn there. Here, I'd reckon it's still summer. :P

For a second there, I thought that was all urdu and I'm like, "OMG! My urdu's so bad it looks like gibberish now!" :D You know Japanese too? Cool. I tried learning Pushto of all things the four years I was at uni. Didn't really work out for me. :D I can say 'dog', 'donkey' and 'May I leave?' though. :P:P:P

Well! A translation from Japanese...impressive!

Translations are rarely easy, but you seem to have preserved a nice flow...
