Hi everyone! I've only been studying for about a month and decided to try to translate a couple songs as practice. The one I'm on now is "Love & Joy" by Kimura Yuki (木村由姫). I found the lyrics in romaji and am learning the kanji as I go, but I'm stuck at "KOROPI" (コロピ?). I compared these lyrics to the song and fixed a few of the more obvious errors, maybe this is another one? None of my books had it, the translator in OS X Tiger didn't know what it was, none of the online dictionarys I used knew what it was. I did find コロピ in use in a site talking about wedding dresses and one about snowboarding. (http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/komachi/reader/200304/2003041800044.htm and http://www.dmksnowboard.com/special/special-038.htm) If it would help, I could email the song (4.2 MB, mp3) or something, so ask me by email (robdsg@spymac.com but only ask if you really intend to help, please). Also, I'm not asking for a translation of the entire song, just コロピ and how its used. But I guess if you WANT to do the whole song, it would be kinda cool to see how our end products differ  . Thanks in advance! Here are the romaji lyrics: Love & Joy -- Kimura Yuki LOVE & JOY kaete yuku ashita wo kaeteku kokoro ni niji wo tsukuru kisetsu ni LOVE & JOY mayowazu ni oikaketai no wa dareka ga tsukuru "ima" ja nai kara neratteta SHIITO wa hitoashi chigai de dareka ni nanka chigatteru n ja nai densha no mado yurasu tameiki nanatsu KOROPI hattsu de oki ITA kute mo waraeba mirai ga kawaru?

Oops. OS X's translator didn't like "シイト" ("SHIITO") either, so I assumed it was "shit". Was that correct? Thanks again! | ||

i guess SHIITO means SEAT in English. but the original lyrics in romaji is KUUSEKI. nanatsu KOROPI hattsu de oki > nanatsu korobi yattsu de oki LOVE & JOY 変えてゆく 明日を変えてく 心に虹を創る季節に LOVE & JOY 迷わずに 迫いかけたいのは 誰かが創る 今 じゃないから 狙ってた空席は 一足違いで誰かに なんか違ってるんじゃない 電車の窓ゆらすためいき 七つコロビ、ハつで起き イタくても笑えば未来が変わる？ LOVE & JOY 変えてゆく アナタも変えてく 心に虹を創る季節に LOVE & JOY ユメ色に アナタが色付く ひとつしかないその笑顔で 好きなウタ唄って 好きな人の写真を見て ちょっとヤル気になっている シンプルなカンジもいいんじゃない？ 結末だけがよければＯＫ？ それだけじゃコーカイ先に立ちそう LOVE & JOY 不器用で カッコ悪くても 誰かが創る「今」じゃないから LOVE & JOY 変わらない ときめき探して アナタが創る明日感じて 「君がいい」選びたくて 選ばれないコトばかりで 傷つくたび削ってきた プライドの行方を追うのはやめて LOVE & JOY 変えてゆく アナタも変えてく スコール虹をかける季節に LOVE & JOY 七色に 明日が色付く 胸に抱いたその笑顔で LOVE & JOY 変わらない ときめき探して アナタが創る明日感じて LOVE & JOY ユメ色に アナタも色付く ひとつしかないその笑顔で… LOVE & JOY CAN I CHANGE MY LIFE LOVE & JOY CAN I CHANGE MY LIFE |
