Meh, so now you see what I do when I come from from work. YTV has recently started airing Bleach<\/i> after Fullmetal Alchemist<\/i>. I don’t like it nearly as much, but when I found out that one of the character’s theme song is in French… well. I actually am not too fond of the song itself–it’s kind of boring, but translations are fun!<\/p>\n
“T’en va pas” – Orihime Inoue’s image song<\/p>\n
T’en va pas
\nsi tu m’aimes t’en va pas
\npapa si tu l’aimes dis lui
\nqu’elle est la femme de ta vie vie vie
\npapa ne t’en va pas
\non veut pas vivre sans toi
\nt’en va pas au bout de la nuit<\/p>\n
Don’t leave me
\nIf you love me, don’t go
\nPapa, if you love her, tell her
\nthat she is the love of your life life life [1]
\nPapa, don’t leave
\nWe don’t want to live without you
\nDon’t go at the end of the night<\/p><\/blockquote>\n{Refrain:}
\nNuit tu me fais peur
\nnuit tu n’en finis pas
\ncomme un voleur
\nil est parti sans moi
\non ira plus au cin\u00e9 tous les trois<\/p>\n\n{Chorus:}
\nNight, you frighten me
\nNight, you’ll never stop doing that
\nLike a thief
\nHe left without me
\nUs three won’t go to the movies anymore<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit tu me fais peur
\nnuit tu n’en finis pas
\ncomme un voleur
\nil est parti sans moi
\npapa si tu pensais un peu \u00e0 moi<\/p>\nNight, you frighten me
\nNight, you’ll never stop doing that
\nLike a thief
\nHe stole away without me
\nPapa, if you thought of me for a moment…<\/p><\/blockquote>\nO\u00f9 tu vas quand tu t’en va d’ici
\nj’arrive pas \u00e0 vivre sans toi
\navec la femme de ta vie vie vie
\npapa fais pas d’connerie
\nquand on s’aime on s’en va pas
\non ne part pas en pleine nuit<\/p>\nWhere will you go when you leave this place? [2]
\nI can’t live without you
\nwith the love of your life life life
\nPapa, don’t screw up
\nWhen people love each other, they don’t leave
\nThey don’t leave in the dead of the night\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit tu me fais peur
\nnuit tu n’en finis pas
\ncomme un voleur
\nil est parti sans moi
\ntu m’emm\u00e8nera jamais aux USA<\/p>\n\nNight, you frighten me
\nNight, you’ll never stop doing that
\nLike a thief
\nHe stole away without me
\nYou’ll never take me to the States<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit tu me fais peur
\nnuit tu n’en finis pas
\ncomme un voleur
\nil est parti sans moi
\npapa j’tassure arr\u00eate ton cin\u00e9ma<\/p>\nNight, you frighten me
\nNight, you’ll never stop doing that
\nLike a thief
\nHe left without me
\nPapa, I assure you–stop being dramatic [3]<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit …. sans moi
\npapa j’tassure qu’un jour tu reviendras<\/p>\nNight … without me
\nPapa, I assure you, you’ll come back one day<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit … sans moi
\npapa j’tassure arr\u00eate ton cin\u00e9ma<\/p>\nNight … without me
\nPapa, I assure you, stop being dramatic<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit … sans moi
\npapa j’suis sure qu’un jour tu reviendras (2x)<\/p>\nNight … without me
\nPapa, I’m sure you’ll come back one day<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit … sans moi
\npapa si tu pensais un peu
\nsi tu pensais un peu \u00e0 moi<\/p>\nNight … without me
\nPapa, if you thought a bit
\nIf you thought a bit about me<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit … sans moi
\ntu m’emmeneras jamais aux USA<\/p>\n\nNight … without me
\nYou’ll never take me to the States<\/p><\/blockquote>\nNuit … sans moi
\npapa j’suis sur qu’un jour tu reviendras<\/p>\n\nNight … without me
\nPapa, I’m sure you’ll come back one day<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[1]: Of course, “love of your life” doesn’t show up. I’m using translator’s license here. A more literal one would be “woman of your life,” but that just sounds weird.<\/p>\n
[2]: This sentence is not explicitly in future tense, but …<\/p>\n
[3]: This sentence just makes no sense. Maybe if I knew more about the character I’d be able to translate this thing …<\/p>\n
Actually, in conclusion, I really don’t like this song. My translation makes no sense because the orginal’s a bit weird. And reading her character history on Wikipedia doesn’t help.<\/p>\n
Update<\/strong>: Apparently the character songs in Bleach aren’t written specifically for the characters. That might explain something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
