Kiss Me… in Japanese?

September 3rd, 2003

I found a version of Sixpence None the Richer’s “Kiss Me” in Japanese. ^_^ Since I can’t find the lyrics online, I think I’ll try to transliterate it by ear.

I shall post the results later xD

I’m not very good at transliterating, but if the song is slow enough, then I can catch most of it. I tested myself on “ARUBAMU” a while ago, and I managed to get through the first verse almost error-free! Amazing!

Oh yes, then comes the problem of translating the thing, because I don’t think it’s a direct translation. Those tend to be very difficult.

Although I do wonder why they recorded a Japanese version in the first place…

This is what I have so far:

Kiss me
fugiho no hodori lightly
kusa na nari (wa?)
futari hane iroge(i?)
ame ka shioshite odoro(u?)

Oh, kiss me
Awai yami yori lead me
tsuki wo (matte? maite?) yo
hora hora (u?)
kaze ga uta a(t?)te hoshi kao tori hajimete
So kiss me

Kiss me
Himitsu no shirode
???????
???????
Anata no PAPA no yume e

Oh, kiss me
Awai yami yori lead me
tsuki wo (matte? maite?) yo
hora hora (u?)
kaze ga uta a(t?)te hoshi kao tori hajimete
So kiss me

Oh, kiss me
Awai yami yori lead me
tsuki wo (matte? maite?) yo
hora hora (u?)
kaze ga uta a(t?)te hoshi kao tori hajimete
So kiss me

>>;; At least I got “Awai yami yori, lead me” (Lead me from the fleeting darkness?)

UPDATE: Correct (hopefully) lyrics are here.
