Help song translation

Postby isse » 2007-07-01, 17:14

I'm quite new into learning japanese. Just know hiragana and katakana and a few kanjis and some grammar. I decided to translate a song I really like with help of a dictionary.
Can someone help me and correct my mistakes so that I can learn more? I 'll post comments & questions at the end.

Thank you

COMMENTS/QUESTIONS

1--> what does yuku means there?
2--> kooraseru is passive so are frozen is right?
4--> right translation of the passive?
5--> no idea even with the dictionary
6--> he doesn't seem to sing "umibe /beach" there.It's like something is missing in the lyrics something like: "sakiyo nobeni"
8--> what tense & meaning is CHIRE? No way of translating the whole sentence :S
9--> what tense is SAKE there?
10-> no idea of the whole meaning
11-> tense of tatazumeba?
12-> no idea
13-> lacks the end
14,15 -> no idea
16-> what's NAKE? verb to cry? which tense?
18-> doesn't sound good even to me
19-22 are the same as in the beginning.

Hi Isse! I found your 2007 post just today because I'm also fascinated by this song. I'm almost done with my translation. I can see nobody responded at all. If you're still around, let me know. Ki o tsukete.
