  • ENGRISH-OFF! (I need more ears!)

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07X0VpT6jXg]YouTube - the pillows - Texan Daily Life[/ame]

    Basically, I have had this song for months, and now that I've found a version with Japanese subtitles I'm fairly certain it's all English. I just can't tell what.

    I know it starts off with "Just a moment please, I'm singing blues.", but after that it's almost all guess work.

    Spoilers for what I THINK it is so far, because it would be better for you to listen to it and write down what you hear before you read what I hear. Also, if you can translate the Japanese, that would probably help.

    What I hear


    I've been listening to their engrish for years now, and it really bugs me that I can't tell what's going on in this (fairly recent) song, considering it's improved quite a bit.

    Something must be wrong with the youtube site right now. I can't play the embedded video or load www.youtube.com in a seperate window.

      It might be you b/c this played fine for me.

        Patience is the key I guess. Working fine now.

        Edit: Good song. I have no idea what he is singing about but I like it.

          I'm sorry Agent Febar, this is the most I can do for now, hope it helps a little.

          Engrish:

          Just a moment please, I'm singing blues.
          I'd like to (stay still??) and sleep a little.
          Texas summer seems so dark. (he actually sings "so dark")
          ??? in the morning, but a little more.

          Just a moment please; 'Hey, shaggy moon'.
          I drank much beer (???)

          I saw a (adj) church yesterday.
          But no love or Peace.
          But I'm sleepy so I can't leave.

          Ah the (perfect?) scene I thought to my soul (myself?), that is true.
          Small (blue?) (life/light/flight?), tedious cloud, (???) tree.
          Ah, the beautiful scene, I thought to my soul (myself), that is true.

          *whistle*

            /didn't watch the video. Seemed appropriate anyway.

              If it is 'drank much beer', the last part is probably 'with my friends'.
