[shenhua]

I hope u enyoi it!

Kirameku sanrei waki-dasu tsumetai mizu wa
Shiratsu [Hakuru] matotta kiyorana mori ni shimi-iru
Kidaki sugatade sakihokoru sono hana no
Yose-au [yuri-au] hana-bira usumurasaki ni kagayakite
Fukisusabu kaze ni sae mukuno hitomi wa kesenai
Hikari ga atsumaru yasashi kozue no moto de
Osanai kokoro ni fushigina chikara yadorite
Yutaka ni sosoida hotaru no kawa no nagare ni
Dakarete nemureba harukana omokage izuko

:o


Traduction: Sha Hua Vocals
The cold water caused to gush out from the twinkling mountain summit
Enters into a holy forest wrapped in white dew
Of noble form, the flower which blooms in glory
Its petals which have collected together sparkle in the orchid
In spite of a violently blowing wind, the innocent/pure pupil is not extinguished
The light gathers beneath a kind/gentle tree top
And there, in the heart of an infant, a wonderous/mysterious power dwells
Richly poured into the flow of a river of fireflies (???)
While embracing, if you should lay to rest, where is the memory (???)

[Shodan]

Hey that's a cool find man! I love that song, it's my second favourite to the main "Shenmue theme".

Where'd you get it?

[ChaiOgawa]

By translating id imagine

Oh yea shenhua is a girl i think...

[TEEPO™]

Thinking about singing this in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Oops my bad . Sorry shenhua!:D (if ur female)

And shenhua, did you translate the song yourself? Because if you do happen to understand Japanese then could you translate the Shenmue.com Yu Suzuki interview? The web-based translater engines suck at that one.

Well, that's if you have the time and can understand Japanese.

[Sensei Ryo Hazuki]

What's scary is that I can sing the song with Ryo's voice...

[Master Kyodai]

What's scary is that I can sing the song with Ryo's voice...

I never heard Ryo singing, but it must be really awful...

[Veteah]

Thinking about singing this in the Eurovision Song Contest.

We would stand a better chance then what we did last time.

[shenhua]

I get the lirics looking around from yahoo and google it have the translation included but, i know some words on japanese but i cant read hiragana (or anytipe of japanese writing) if only coul get that interview with our alphabet i think i coul translate

see ya




YUTAKA! GIVE US OUR SHENMUE III!!!!!!!!!!

[Shodan]

Iif only coul get that interview with our alphabet i think i coul translate

Oh I see. :(
I know what you mean - to get the Japanese displayed with English alphabet letters like your lyrics to Shenhua's theme. Ahh I don't know a way to do that. DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW?

This is a shame. I really want to understand that interview as it may contain some small hints to the possiblity of Shnemue III.

P.S. About the gender mixup, why didn't I notice that you chose "shenhua" for your name and avatar!?!? -stupid self! lol

[shenhua]

We get more and more every week it seems, more of the most known ones around here if you notice them at some point darkly,spring chick,khien, and ash who is a moderator. There is also araviel who is becoming more known, and yunny doesnt post around much anymore...

[Shodan]

The Shenhua theme is one of my fave tracks from the series, its just a shame that these songs don't translate well into English, but then again I s'pose English songs won't translate well into Japanese either! -The two languages are just too different. But, its still good to know the meaning of this song.

[Neo Matrix]

The lyrics (and the translation) were over on one of the gamefaqs FAQs as well. I've sung along with it (quietly) a few times in the last few weeks.

Putting the interview into Romaji is the easy part (at least for me) as I can read Hiragana and Katakana, it's the phrases that get me... and some of the words look like they should be in Kanji when they aren't for ease of reading.
