[InvaderRen]

can somebody provide me with the original text in Japanese, preferable non-romanized

Mucho Thanks

[chiefen]

彼の体は剣からなされる。
彼の血はガラスの鉄そして彼の中心である。
彼は無数の戦いによって存続した。一度一度理解される均一ではなく後退を均等にしてはいけない。
彼は常にだけ、剣の丘の勝利と酔わせられてだった。
そしてこうして、彼の生命に意味がない。
そのボディは剣から、確かになされた。

[InvaderRen]

thanks, but are you sure thats everything?

そしてこうして、彼の生命に意味がない。
そのボディは剣から、確かになされた。

A quick translation over at Babelfish translated this to:

You can do that body from the sword. That blood is the iron and that center of the glass. He continued with countless fight. One time one times uniform understands are not retreat equal do not have to make. He was just, victory of the hill of the sword being always intoxicated. And in this way, there is no meaning in that life. From the sword, you could do that body certainly.

That has absolutely no resemblance to Komm Susser Tod.

Wow, Mike Wygzowski must be a terrible translator for it to end up the way it did.

[Sailor Star Dust]

Uh, you do know both Komm, Susser Tod and EYED were adaptations of Anno's lyrics, not translations, right?

(I'm assuming you were joking?)


Anybody have that link to Reichu's old(??) site or whatever it was? You can find it using that Wayback Machine thing. She has the Japanese lyrics posted up there. (as well as her translations of Anno's EYED & Komm lyrics, as well as Mike Wygzowski's versions.)

[Kaysow]

There's a more coherent translation in the booklet of my EoE disc, released abroad by Geneon. Don't have it on me, tho.
