重い魂 / A heavy soul
苦心の勝利 / A hard-fought victory
昔と同じものはない / Nothing’s the same as it used to be
This was a commission for a client to give to his beloved as a Christmas present. It’s three lines from their favourite song.
The song is originally in English, so before I wrote it I had the task of translating it into Japanese. I wanted my translation to:
- sound natural
- have the same “feel” as the original English
- have similar line length
What do you think?
