Maji ka? Maji de? Maji da! Showtime!
Seriously? Is this serious? Seriously! Showtime!

Maru de tsuki to taiyou kasanaru toki no shougeki
It's as shocking as the moon overlapping the sun.

Dare datte kiseki shinjite mitai
It would make anyone believe in miracles.

Kitto hitsuyou fukaketsu no ENAJII kokoro no tame
That indispensible energy that one needs for the heart...

Yume to yoso ii imi de uragitte kureru mono
...dreams and good expectations will in a sense betray you

3 2 1 Showtime!

Magic Time!
Magic Time!

Trick ja nai!
It's no trick!

Mahou HIIRO hanpa nee ze
The magic hero is no pushover!

Motto Hallelujah

Kioku no roots moguri-konde kibou sukui-dase
Dig into the roots of memory and save that hope!

Showtime!

Life is showtime! Tobikiri no
Life is showtime! It's exillerating!

Unmei to RAIFU mucha shite mo
Even if you're reckless with fate and life

Motto Hallelujah

Kinou, kyou, ashita, mirai
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and in the future...

subete no namida wo
...all those tears...

Showtime

houseki ni kaette yaru ze
...I will changed them into jewels.

Maji ka? Maji de? Maji da! Showtime!
Seriously? Is this serious? Seriously! Showtime!

It sounds OK to me

The song is pretty catchy. The seriously seriously part is a bit tacky, but if that's what the translation goes, I have no bones to pick,

Kitto hitsuyou fukaketsu no ENAJII kokoro no tame
That indispensible energy that one needs for the heart...

i personally hear
Kitto hitsuyou fukaketsu no ENAJII kokoro da me (dame?)

not sure what that translates to but i know i've heard da me somewhere before...

but thats about all i can pick up in terms of what i hear.

Yume to yoso ii imi de uragitte kureru mono
...dreams and good expectations will in a sense betray you
"yosou"; missing "u".
Also, if you're following this: 夢と予想 いい意味で 裏切ってくれるもの, shouldn't it be "...dreams and expectations will in a good sense betray you" or "...dreams and expectations will betray you in a good sense"?

Life is showtime! Tobikiri no
Life is showtime! It's exillerating!
SPELLING! (exhilarating)

houseki ni kaette yaru ze
...I will changed them into jewels.
"change"

I tried doing this earlier. I used some lyrics I found posted on nicovideo though.

I hear "hito hitsuyou" instead of kitto, and kibou tsukuri-dase" (create hope)... Also, I think it might be saying "unmei no Ride" (pronounced like in English), as in "even when the ride of destiny gets too intense" (I think). No guarantee those are right though, it's pretty hard to make out.

Maybe "really" would work instead of "seriously"? Just throwing some ideas out there.

>Yume to yoso ii imi de uragitte kureru mono

Thanks for the spelling fixes. Guess I need to take my own advice.

Hmmm, for some reason I thought yosou ii was one thing. I'm honestly not sure what this line is trying to say. I guess my interpretation of it is a pessimistic view that dreams will end someday. I'm starting to think your interpretation fits better. Maybe it means that maybe dreams and expectations will betray you, but you'll be pleased with what you get instead?

So how about: Dreams and expectations will betray you in a good way.

>I hear "hito hitsuyou" instead of kitto

With the strong emphasis on the tt, I think it's kitto.

>and kibou tsukuri-dase" (create hope)...

I don't hear the r in tsukuri. Considering Wizard saves people from despair, I think saving the hope makes more sense in this case.

> Also, I think it might be saying "unmei no Ride" (pronounced like in English), as in "even when the ride of destiny gets too intense" (I think). No guarantee those are right though, it's pretty hard to make out.

I definitely like that better than life. I actually thought it was unemi to RABU when I first heard it. Unfortunately, I do hear the "to" so I think the second word is a noun rather than a verb

>Maybe "really" would work instead of "seriously"? Just throwing some ideas out there.

Really? For real? It's the real thing!
I kind of like that actually.

>i personally hear
Kitto hitsuyou fukaketsu no ENAJII kokoro da me (dame?)

Hmmm. I think I hear da ne actually. That'd make it:
The indispensable energy that people need comes from the heart

Thanks for the feedback guys

but thats about all i can pick up in terms of what i hear.[/quote]

I hear 'Maji ka? Maji tte? Maji da! Showtime!'



I hear 'koko no tame' or 'kokoro tame', but I like the 'kokoro da ne' idea better.



Love is showtime?


Other than that, I agree with takenoko's above post as to the fixes to be made.

Since the song's title is "Life is SHOW TIME" my money's on Life not Love on that last one Lunagel

Thought so, just ignore me~

Yeah, I guess that would work too. But I'm honestly going 'huh' over that line. It's a little... oddly phrased? Maybe the actual lyrics won't even be that... I mean the middle portion of the line is a little slurred... =/

How about

Dreams and expectations will betray you nicely.

with the adverb nicely showing the way of betrayal hence no need for the "in a way".

Yume to yoso ii imi de uragitte kureru mono

I have two translations for this,

Both your dreams and what you anticipate, will give meaning to their betrayal.

"There is meaning to how your dreams and expectations betray you"

If I were to connect both lines
Kitto hitsuyou fukaketsu no ENAJII kokoro no tame
Yume to yoso ii imi de uragitte kureru mono

"With purpose, both your dreams and what you expect betray you, to give you the unlimited source of energy that feeds your soul"

Why all the emphasis on the "meaning" part? I kind of feel like the ii imi thing is right. It's not just any meaning, but a good one. The Kureru at the end also supports that despite it being a betrayal, this is a good thing.

That's a good point, it certainly clears it up in one shot.

But I guess, I'd word it the way I do because, sometimes it's not necessarily "good" but more meaningful. As if the betrayal is an obstacle that we have to get through.
