@foursaints answering the call with this

[minothtime]

i don't usually talk about translation on here but today i am going to make an exception because GOD did i just have a fucking emotional moment

ok so context first

apart from my translation work/studies, i also do some song translating on the side. specifically vocaloid (& co.) song translating.

the spanish vocaloid community has like a total of one or two semi-reliable translators, which means that many songs are left in either the original japanese or the english subs which many people may not understand. this prompted me to actually translate songs to spanish so people could know what they mean with no interference from middle-ground translations. and i'm doing great! not that anyone is seeing the translations, but i am having a lot of fun doing this and i have many translations already up in my archive (some English translations also sprinkled in, btw)

the song i just translated is PinocchioP's "きみも悪い人でよかった" (I'm Glad You're Evil Too). and jesus fucking CHRIST did it hit like a truck.

this song is very well known in the fandom, as it is possibly the most emotional and beautiful song Pinocchio has ever released. the instrumental is very pretty, the vocals include him in the background, the lyrics are beautifully written... and yet, i never understood why people got so emotional over it. sure, it's a beautiful song, and the lyrics are amazing, but what about it?

remember that one study about how the brain processes your mother tongue vs your other languages? to sum it up, emotional words have a less intense effect when you hear them in a language you speak but is not your mother tongue, as there's a level of detachment involved in the translation process. and that's what was happening to me.

I was halfway through translating the song when i started to feel the prickle of tears behind my eyes. by the last chorus i was outright BAWLING. i could not properly process the intricacies of this song until i sat down myself and started combing it line after line. it was so heart-wrenching, it was painting such a vivid picture...! but at the same time, you could FEEL the love infused in this song. you can feel how down to earth the singer is, and how aware they are of their own mortality. they are CHOOSING to spend time with their loved one, they are thankful for the small things like watching bad movies or having dinner with them, they are just so, so in love it's incredible to see. the way everything is conveyed is so touching you can feel the love as if you yourself were the one in the relationship.

man, it's just perfect. one of the best written vocaloid songs out there... or songs in general, full stop. PinocchioP always has a knack for tugging at your heartstrings (Last Continue, The Vocaloid Songs, 2:30 Life Remaining...), but this is possibly his best lyric work yet.

side note: there is a VERY POPULAR spanish sub video from 2016, but the translation is lifted from English, not Japanese. makes me a bit sad that no good translation was ever released for this song, so that's why i did one myself today ^^;
