[Brain Powerd] "Flow" lyrics - Now Translated

[olga]

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if someone might have the lyrics for Seika Iwashita's "Flow" (from the first Brain Powerd OST). I don't have the CD booklet anymore, and couldn't find anything through a web search.

I'd like to translate the song, but transcribing certain parts of it is just impossible for a non native speaker. <

Thank you in advance!
Olga

Doot-doo-doo, I was checking older posts and noticed this topic. It's one of my favourite songs so I went off to transcribe it. Good luck translating it! Hope you'll share it with us?

Welcome Olga

Welcome to this international, interesting and inspiring forum!

[Crispain]

Welcome! 

[blackmago]

i dunno if you will return back to the forum OLGA but! welcome!

[josh]

Ahh! How did I miss this post? I had these lyrics transliterated and everything. Oh well.

Erm, welcome Olga!

[olga]

Doot-doo-doo, I was checking older posts and noticed this topic. It's one of my favourite songs so I went off to transcribe it. Good luck translating it! Hope you'll share it with us?

Oh my gosh!! I can't believe my eyes! <:D 

I nearly gave up on ever finding these lyrics, but you even provided the kanji! ^____^ Thank you SO so very much. I can't tell you how happy I am. ^_^

I will definitely post the translation in the forum once it's done. (unless Grey Archangel would like to post his version?)

And to everyone - thank you for the warm welcome! I'm sorry I haven't been paying attention to the replies. ^_^*

Very grateful,
Olga

[josh]

My version's actually rather similar. And seeing as she provided kanji as well, I do believe that TenAJs wins. heh. On mine I put a few of the "wo"'s in brackets because it seems like Seika is omitting them for some reason... hmm....

Anyway, welcome again!

I think Olga misread a bit and is referring to your translation of the lyrics.

[josh]

Oh - well I never actually did get around to translating it. I can have my friend Rally who's much better at translating than I look it over if needed.

I think Olga misread a bit and is referring to your translation of the lyrics.

You know, I did read that wrong! :D  Sorry!

Well, here are the translated lyrics to "Flow." I tried to make them sound as elegant as possible, but of course the original Japanese feel is hard to retain. <:)

Please enjoy! m(_ _)m

FLOW
Vocals: Seika Iwashita
Music: Yoko Kanno

Show me this thing called Love.
What color is it?
How does it smell?
Tell me how it feels. (to the touch)
Just who carries it hidden within?

There’s no guarantee that one day
I will come across this thing called Love.

* I’m in love,
So much it’s frightening.
I’m in love,
So much it hurts.
I am in love.
Why do I embrace you like this?

Flower petals, sand, and rays of sunlight,
All rain incessantly like kindness.
There are too many things
That I want, and things I need.

** I’m in love,
Trusting in you.
I’m in love,
Reaching out to you.
I am in love.
Fierce emotions, swirling in my heart.

* repeat

** repeat

Thank you for translating these beautiful lyrics!

Has there been anyone who has translated Ai no Rinkaku/Field of Love? I can't find it anywhere, so I made one. I transcribed the official text from YOKIA, but the romanization is something I just found over the internet. It's such a beautiful song

愛し会う心を　育てていった　あなたが
その腕を枕に　お眠りと　耳にささやく

昼の言葉など　忘れていいから
聞いて　
果てなく

父とそな母が　歌えなかった唄が
弾む
愛をまさぐる唄
信じあって　語りつげば　もっと心　滑らかになる

欲深なまどろみ　身を任せて　夢みる
子供たちの心の　灯になって欲しいと

愛する作法を　ちりばまていけば
それは　慈しむ海原
あなたという星　つかめば　永遠という刻のかわって

愛し会う心を　育てていった　あなたが
その腕を枕に　お眠りと　耳にささやく

夢に見る銀河を　まどろんだまま　旅する
その瞳と唇　それだけで何もいらない

========================

You who raised
These hearts that love one another
On my arm as a pillow you sleep
And you whisper in my ear

Just like words of the afternoon,
Because you might forget,
Listen, free fly free fly
It never ends

The song that father and mother were unable to sing
Resonates, free fly free fly
A song that touches love
If we believe in each other and words are lessened,
The gentler the heart becomes

Surrender yourself to the greedy slumber,
See your dreams
If you want to become
The light of children's hearts

If you sprinkle manners of love
That is free fly free fly
Beloved ocean
If you catch your star
It transforms in eternity

You who raised
These hearts that love one another
On my arm as a pillow you sleep
And you whisper in my ear

The galaxy that sees dreams
Sleeps while in its travel
Those eyes and lips
Only those,
Nothing else is needed

[Yyrkoon]

Thanks, it's a really good song.
