English Version of Cruel Angel Thesis?
Reply with quote

Is there an english version of Cruel Angel Thesis somewhere out there? I think I have just about all the versions there ever was, but if I could find an english version of the coolest anime song around, that would make my day!

There's the subtitled version, but... Cruel Angel's Thesis... in English...

...

Do the syllables even match up to the tune in English?

Trust me, I've gave this extensive testing in my car--they don't match up at all!

I can't even imagine an English adaptation being good.

Give me a German one, though.

thats about what i expected to hear...

but you'd probly haveta tweak a few words to make it sound good...



always put music into different languages with a thesarus...as someone with experience in the area, i know that songs dont sound good if you literally translate them

I'd rather it didn't. You know, the melody is good doesn't mean stuffing English words in will sound good too.

some songs just sound better in one language...

"Time to say goodbye" is ONLY good in Italian...

"Der Herr Segne Euch" ONLY good in German...

"Silent Night" Quite lovely in English or German

"Washu's Science Song" Silly in Japanese and English

"Cruel Angel's Thesis"?...you never know till you try...

The only song from anime that have been sung in English...where i like the English better is "Money No More" from Pretty Sammy...The theme for Detective Conan was good in English too

I suppose that the theme songs for both Kingdom Hearts games (Passion, Simple and Clean) sounded pretty good in English... better then I thought they would have, at the very least.

Wie ein Engel, ganz ohne ein Erbarmen,
Junge steig auf zum Himmel wie ein Mythos!

Kalter Wind, so blau wie das Meer,
hat an meines Herzens Türe gepocht.
Und du stehst unerkannt,
und schaust nur auf dich,
dein Aug' ruht auf mir mit ernstem Blick.
Sehnsuchtsvoll die Augen gebannt,
sie rühren an dem was sie sanft begehr'n,
Doch sie wissen noch nicht,
welchen Pfad sie wohl geh'n,
das Schicksal verborgen noch bleibt.

Doch eines Tages da wirst du bemerken,
daß es etwas hinter dir gibt.
Mächtige Flügel im Rücken,
sie tragen dich in deine Zukunft, ganz groß!

Monster-Engel, ganz ohne ein Erbarmen,
stößt das Tor auf, erfüllt dich ganz im Innersten.
Spricht dann zu dir voll Pathos die Erinnerung,
deine Seele des Engels der sie fühlte!
Junge steh auf und werde jetzt zum Mythos,
Himmel, Sterne, das Universum trage!

It's kind of an official German version of zankoku na tenshi no TÊZE.
Erm... I'm to lazy to translate the whole story about this German version. Use Babelfish to translate the URL. With some fantasy you should be able to understand it.
BTW: I prefer the original Japanese version.

I actually tried something like that once, but it kinda sucked. Not a translation of the song, but a different English theme song to the same tune.

Here's the link if you wanna take a look.

Indeed they did, and if Youtube wasn't fucked up again, I could easily access them through my favorites.

Perhaps this should be moved to the Fan Stuff/Whatever section

WELL THEN...


The Cruel Angel’s Thesis (TV-size, English Adaptation, by moiiiii)

Like an angel, dealing judgement from the sky
Spread your wings child, and take hold of new life

Through the air comes a guiding wind
Which blows at your back telling you to go on
But your heart skips a beat, and you hesitate there
While gazing my way intently

You're aware; you feel a warmth there
But it seems so faint that you droop in despair
With fists to the ground and face pointed down
You fail to see how close it is

Someday I suspect that you'll find out you have
More going for you than you feel
The winds of the future will dare you to ride them
And wings will burst out from your soul

By the Angel of Will comes strict prophesy
Open the windows to your dark mind and let light through
New-found passion will burn away the diffidence
As you first leap into to the boundless blue sky
Open your arms and feel the air on which you ride
Spread those wings child, and take hold of new life


Not 100% faithful, but I did my best to keep the spirit of the song intact where I needed to take poetic liberties. This adaptation has been sitting around waiting for my sister to cover it, who has a Youtube channel dedicated to English and Mandarin song.

Yeah, I didn't like the flow+wording of that one, which is why I wrote mine. I mean, she does good fandubs, but I thought I could write a better CAT.
