Right Light Rise
Umm Hi,
I am not Asain myself, but I have been studying Japanese for some time. I am now at the point where I am occationally trying to translate J-Pop and anime songs and I thought I would share some of these attempts here. If this is in-appropriate please let me know and I will delete these posts.
This song is "Right Light Rise" by Kanon Wakeshima. It is also the ending song to "Danjon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru darou ka" also known in the states as "Danmachi". First part of the translation is in Kanji, then sing-along type romaji following that and then the full english translation in bold. I hope I translated this decently:
"Right Light Rise" by Kanon Wakeshima
ボクの見てた一人分の景色の中
君の色があたりまえになる
boku no miteta hitori bun' no keishiki no naka
kimi no iro ga atarimae ni naru
My View within my own personal scenery
Your appearance has become commonplace
知らなかった心地いい距離や
くだらない意地の張り合い
ほらまたすぐに笑い合えてる
日常を重ね合って行く
途切れず強くなって行く
ボクの心はきっと君の半分が満たすんだ
ぴったりと

boku no kokoro wa kitto kimi no han'bun' ga mitasun'da
pittarito
A comfortable distance I didn't know and
Trivial stubborn competitions
Look, we are soon smiling at each other again
Superimposed together we go through daily life
Without pause we go and become strong
Undoubtedly half of you fills my heart
completely!

Raise right
Lower left
And both up
Shake it right to left,
So more
Lower right
Keep left
And both down
Let's try it more quickly
Raise right
Lower left
And both up
Clap your hands
You are not wrong!
Both up
Both down
And shake right
More shake left
Keep both and slow them down
