Is this the correct translation of the song? - 08-15-2010, 08:45 PM

In life there is comfort; there is hardship too.
After tears a rainbow appears.
Carry on steadily,
Keeping your foot firmly upon your chosen path.

In life courage is essential,
When you have lost something dear and feel like giving up,
If it is unpleasant to be surpassed by your successors,
If it is unpleasant to weep, come now and walk!

In life there are both tears and smiles.
Life is not so bad
From living, great things can come,
Set a goal and live!



ニックネームは「覚醒(sarvodaya)」からとって「覚(か く)」です。

Kaku is the nickname given to me by ゆりさん, derived from the word sarvodaya (सर्वोदय). This, in turn, is a word that was used by Mohandas Gandhi in his 1908 translation of John Ruskin's "Unto This Last" (1860s).
