By chance I came across the Japanese translation of Ohra Sara, one of the mindcontrolopera songs from Macross Delta, in a solo piano sheet music book. I can only assume it is official. Noooice. I'm sad that it's my least favorite of the mindcontrolopera songs, but I'm rather interested in translations of fake ass fake languages. So here's my attempt at translating it. And, like, transliterating it in a way that feels genuine and consistent. JUST KIDDING I ONLY TRANSLATED THE TRANSLATION BECAUSE I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTIES FIGURING OUT HOW THEY MATCH UP WITH THE LYRICS PROPER. ENJOY THE SHIT TRANSLATION AND CONTINUED SHIT CONTENT.
愛と平和 人々に春が訪れる
Love and peace, summer comes to everyone
夢が風と穏やかなハーモニーを奏で
Dreams play a gentle harmony on the wind
ささやかで美しい 喜びの歌があふれていたあの日
The day when a song of modest and beautiful joy was overflowing
優しさが子供たちを包み込む時 「光る風」が想いを届ける
When the children are enveloped by gentleness, the Shining Wind delivers their feelings
星と海を進む平和の船 尊く聖なる祈りと共に
The ship of peace traverses the stars and seas along with a precious, sacred wish
行け、勇気の帆き もはや彼らに言葉はいらない
Go, sail of courage! Words are no longer needed for them
「光る風」が私たちをつなげていく 誇り高き絆で強く
The Shining Wind is connecting us, powerfully, with our proud bonds
共鳴する風を感じて 願いは上昇気流に乗って翔けめぐる
Feel the wind resonate, our wishes ride and soar on an updraft
悼しむ者と共に涙を流し、痛みを分かち 私は成ろう 歌う風に
Shed tears with those who mourn, share the pain, and I'll become a singing wind
翼の神よ!
The god of wings!
