Translating song lyrics isn't as easy as people tend to think. In fact, it's extremely difficult because you have to have matching numbers of syllables for every phrase. I've done it just for fun in the past and it took me several days to do an entire song.

If the song doesn't have to be sung in Japanese, the translation will be much easier.

Yes, i know it takes time to translate lyrics (so they are both understood and singable) but i am looking for some one who enjoys writing lyrics or translate them and wants to do this. This person will obviously be credited on the CD.
