Komachi is my favourite character by far, and when I discovered this video I always wondered why there wasn't any translate of it (at least I never found any of it).
And so, considering that I'm studying japanese I decided to give it a try, and I'm quite satisfied about the results. It was indeed a funny song, after all.
And God only knows how hard it was to sub this, because of my retarded computer.
Just a few notes about some sentences:
0:10 "In a pure white way!", it actually means "in a sincere way", but its literal meaning is (more or less) what I wrote. I found it funny and unusual, so I kept it like this.
0:24 "Eh! Shiki-sama, you came here by night to rape me?", actually it says "Eh, Shiki-sama Yobai?!", in which yobai means an ancient practice in Japan, in which a man sneaks by night in the house of her lover to... Well, just google it and read it!
1:03 Literally, "Atai wa I love you" means "I am I love you", or to be less specific, "I I love you", because Atai means "me" in japanese, and wa is the particle which defines the subject. It's a repetition. The same way, "Boss wa take kill me" is similar, except due the fact that it doesn't have a sense to begin with. ENGRISH LOGIC! And so... I translated it as "I am like I LOVE YOU" because I find it funny, and similar to what I thought Komachi would say.
1:20 "Please, don't judge me!", Actually the literally translation of this would be something like "Don't give me any black nor white!" Which is a typical way to refer to a judgement in japanese, especially the Yama one.
Well, that's all. After all it was quite fun to sub it, maybe I'll start to sub random Touhou PVs that nobody cares about.
Maybe...
