Title: ebullient future

As many know, ef – a tale of memories has a sequel titled ef – a tale of melodies, which, just like its original series, has opening song with English* lyrics.

And just like before, all three fansub team that’s subbing it did guesstranscribing for that.

Now let’s have fun comparing how accurate their “translator” transcribed the lyrics (not translate as it’s in English* already).

*TL note: English means Engrish in “Japanese song with English” language.

Extra: random chart at the bottom of this post.

Look, I got a feeling
Look, I got a feeling
Love, I got a feeling
Love, I’ve got to feel it

If you put your trust in me
If you put your trust in me
If you put your trust in me
If you put your trust in me

I know what my life had been
I know what my life had been
I know what my life would be
I know what my life would be

All, you are all I ever need
Oh, you are all I ever need
Oh, you are all I ever need
Oh, you are all I ever need

I tried to hear what he said
I tried to hear what he said
I tried to hear what you say
I try to hear what you say

So I pray
Too, I pray
So I pray
So I pray

But you’re fading away
But you’re fading away
While you’re fading away
But you’re fading away

Done wrong, and when I found your heart
Done wrong, and when I found your heart
Then I engrave my fragile heart
Don’t go and break my fragile heart

We won’t fall apart
We won’t fall apart
We won’t fall apart
We won’t fall apart

Losing my only star
Losing my only star
Losing my honest time
‘Cause you’re my only star

I wandered for my discoverer
I wandered for my discoverer
I wandered for my discoverer
I wonder why my tears come at night

Only you, so I can relieve you
Following you, so I can relieve you
Only you sound like a little child
Calling you, so like a little child

All the things you have in mind
All the things you have in mind
All the things you have in mind
All the things you have in mind

I wish you could see your insides
I wish I could see your insides
I wish I could see your insides
I wish I could see your insides

My love, you got to feel it
My love, you got to feel it
My love, you got a feeling
My love, you’ve got to feel it

Everywhere, I’ll just see you and me
Even more, I’ll just see you and me
And we both are just you and me
And if we put our trust in you and me

You know, our love has fooling me
You know, our love is fooling me
You know what love would be
You know what our lives would be

Oh, you will know what I believe
Oh, you well know what I believe
Oh, you will know what I believe
Oh, you are the one I believe

Fun.
