Japanese Romaji to English - Toki no Tobira

Hello there.

I'm looking for the English translation to this song Toki no Tobira (The Door of Time). It's the insert song from Ikki Tousen: Great Guardians and I could only find the Romaji version of it. It's performed by Kariyuki, Mai:

kioku no KAKERA
kagayaki wa kienai
itsumademo kaze fuku mirai demo

meguru kisetsu ni oboete iru
bamen ga aru hitomi tojite mo
nemurenai yoru senaka marume
nukumori dake sagashitsu'zuketeta

toki wa sugite nagarete mo
tomatteru fuukei

kioku no KAKERA
kagayaki wa kienai
itsumademo kaze fuku mirai demo
tooi kioku no KAKERA
ano hi no omokage ni
itsu no hi ka waraikaesu kara
ima toki no tobira wo akeru

ikibasho no nai kokoro no koe
hibiku MERODI kishimu haguruma
okizari no yume hiroiatsume
hitorikiri de kakaekirenakute

donna toki mo wasurenai
atatakai manazashi

kioku no KAKERA
kesshite iroasenai
azayaka ni eien ni kagayake
tooi kioku no KAKERA
mou ichido aitai
atarashii kisetsu ga kuru kara
ima toki no tobira wo akeru

kioku no KAKERA
kagayaki wa kienai
itsumademo kaze fuku mirai demo
tooi kioku no KAKERA
ano hi no omokage ni
itsu no hi ka waraikaesu kara
ima toki no tobira wo akeru

And also these few lines of dialogue if it isn't too much trouble:

anna baito shite tanoka

fuketsu desu

bikkuri shichai mashita

anote no baito wa aru

maa ariccha arissho

ari nano ka

iya Mama... nani wa tomoare baitodai mo tamatta kotodashi... Battle Tour ni ikeru

minna omouzonbun battle ii makucchaou... tanoshimi ni shitete ne

Unfortunately I can't find the Kanji for it and I'm sure some of it may not make sense so your best guesses will be appreciated.

時の扉 - Toki no Tobira (The Door of Time)

kioku no KAKERA
kagayaki wa kienai
itsumademo kaze fuku mirai demo
Fragments of my memory
Their radiance has disappeared
But the future forever blows its wind

meguru kisetsu ni oboete iru
bamen ga aru hitomi tojite mo
nemurenai yoru senaka marume
nukumori dake sagashitsu'zuketeta
I remember the returning seasons
Even if I shut my eyes, the scene is there
Sleepless nights, curled up on my back
I continued to just search for warmth

toki wa sugite nagarete mo
tomatteru fuukei
Even if time keeps flowing past
The scenery has stopped

kioku no KAKERA
kagayaki wa kienai
itsumademo kaze fuku mirai demo
tooi kioku no KAKERA
ano hi no omokage ni
itsu no hi ka waraikaesu kara
ima toki no tobira wo akeru
Fragments of my memory
Their radiance has disappeared
But the future forever blows its wind
Fragments of my distant memory
In the vestige of that day
Because someday my smile will be restored
Now I open the door of time

ikibasho no nai kokoro no koe
hibiku MERODI kishimu haguruma
okizari no yume hiroiatsume
hitorikiri de kakaekirenakute
The voice of my heart has nowhere to go
It's the resounding melody of a squeaky wheel
Gathering together my deserted dreams
Alone, without anyone to hold

donna toki mo wasurenai
atatakai manazashi
I can't forget those times
Your warm gaze

kioku no KAKERA
kesshite iroasenai
azayaka ni eien ni kagayake
tooi kioku no KAKERA
mou ichido aitai
atarashii kisetsu ga kuru kara
ima toki no tobira wo akeru
Fragments of my memory
Will never fade in any way
Forever shining brilliantly
Fragments of my distant memory
I want to see them once again
Because new seasons have come
Now I open the door of time

(repeat 1st chorus)


Kanji ref:

記憶のカケラ
輝きは消えない
いつまでも　風吹く未来でも

めぐる季節に　覚えている
場面がある　瞳閉じても
眠れない夜　背中丸め
温もりだけ　探し続けてた

時は過ぎて　流れても
止まってる風景

記憶のカケラ
輝きは消えない
いつまでも　風吹く未来でも
遠い記憶のカケラ
あの日の面影に
いつの日か笑い返すから
今　時の扉を開ける

行き場所のない　心の声
響くメロディ　軋む歯車
置き去りの夢　拾い集め
一人きりで　抱えきれなくて

どんな時も忘れない
あたたかい眼差し

記憶のカケラ
決して色あせない
鮮やかに　永遠に輝け
遠い記憶のカケラ
もう一度逢いたい
新しい季節が来るから
今　時の扉を開ける

As for the dialogue, let's see... my listening skills aren't as good as my reading skills. But you seem to have done some VERY nice transcription! (Do you know any Japanese?) Some lines definitely don't match up with the subs; others do:

anna BATTLE shite'ta no ka?
That was the battle?

fuketsu desu
It's dirty.

bikkuri shichaimashita
I was (really) surprised.

ano te no BATTLE wa aru
Was there a battle to begin with?

maa, ariccha arissho
Well, there may have been.

ari na no ka
There was?

yaa maa, nani wa tomoare BATTLE dai mo tamatta koto da shi, BATTLE TOUR ni ikeru
Hey, in any case, we made it through the battle, and can go to the battle tour.

minna omouzonbun BATTLE iimaka'cchaou... tanoshimi ni shite'te ne
Everyone will argue about the battle to their heart's content... that's to be expected, right?


...I know in a couple lines it did kind of sound like BAITO, but "baito" means "part-time job", so I'm sure they were talking about BATORU (battle) instead.

Anyway, I hope my translations help you out!

This is what I love about the internet: you have a song that you don't understand the lyrics to and you go online and ask a complete stranger and they take time out of their lives to help you out. I love the internet. And you, Dreams~, are now one of my favourite persons on it. If I knew you in real life, I would kiss you. But all I can do is say thank you even though it doesn't seem like much. Thank you.

I wish I could take credit for the transcriptions but I got the lyrics for the song on animelyrics.com here, thanks to AzureDark (by the way, you can up the translation there if you want. Where did you find the Kanji?). The transcription for the dialogue I got from my friend igarasi. The transcription I did was in the link provided and he corrected it for me. I don't know any Japanese save for what I picked up watching anime.

About the dialogue, part-time job is actually correct because the girls had to do a couple of them in order to save up money to go on a Battle Tour. The dialogue was as a result of the last girl finishing hers and the others weren't sure if what she did was a part-time job, or if there were any part-time jobs to begin with. I got the jist of what they were saying, I just didn't understand enough to put it into words. So I'll just replace battle with part-time job where necessary.

You have no idea how much you helped me and I am very grateful. Thanks, again.

Doesn't tanoshimi mean "have fun" or "enjoyable"? Or maybe it's tanoshii?

"Tanoshimi ni shitete ne"

We have something to look forward to.

"Donna toki mo wasurerarenai
atatakai manazashi"

I will never be able to forget
Your warm gaze

"hitorikiri de kakaekirenakute"

I can't hold them all by myself
or
There are too many for me to hold alone

*This* is your part-time job?

How filthy!

What a shock!

Would you guys ever consider doing this kind of job?

Well, I guess I would.

You would!?

Well, in any case, we've got enough money saved up now... we can go to the Battle Tour!

We can talk about battles to our hearts' content! Let's look forward to it!

さあ・・・ありがとう、そしてとっとと消えうせろ。
今こっちは不要となる。

さよなら！

楽しんできてね！

^ I don't know what that means.... :[

But thanks again, guys. What would be the English translation of this?:

kore wa ikura nandemo
