My weekend project: Hatsune Miku sings Gypsy Bard. · 5:22am Oct 2nd, 2012
Turn on annotations for subs.
When someone in Japan subtitled Friendship is Witchcraft episode 7, they created two sets of subtitles, one that accurately translated the song, and one that made it "singable" in Japanese. One convenient midi and Vocaloid session, and we have the Japanese version of Gypsy Bard. Enjoy!
Lyrics(translated):
If within your heart it is a rainy day,
as if the world is a toy glass ball.
If we are hurt, let us stand up tall once more.
And sing this song with hearts that haven't lost.
For me, long ago in that city, there was an accident involving fire,
and my first job at the orphanage was "dig those holes."
Many holes were opened, many holes were filled.
Now both my memories and the two of them are in ground,
but I still sing.
If your daddy and mommy have become stars, (Died)
then open your ears and listen to this melody.
When the chimes start sounding, our courage is also ringing.
With this strength born from an unwillingness to cry, we sing our song.
You, sir, are brilliant.
Understanding the English translations of Japanese lyrics is hazardous to your health.
fucked up songs with deceptively cheery tones, for the win!
