Need translating help! Please! - 02-16-2008, 11:44 PM

I need help!

I need someone to translate these lines into Japanese, and I mean Romaji.

Hey you!
I want you to open up your eyes,
And see the star in me that shines.
Hey you!
There is nothing to waste,
It's now my time.

Just some lyrics to a song I'm writing and I want a part in Japanese. So please and thank you!

I don't have the time right now to try to put something together for you, but I do think that if the song were all Japanese the "Hey you" part would be in English, so you might want to keep that the way it is. I also wanted to let you know that it's not going to end up in the exact wording you put there because there isn't a very direct correlation between English and Japanese. The meaning should be there though, which is the important part. Oh, and it also probably won't rhyme unless you're willing to sacrifice some accuracy in translation to find a reasonably close word.

Just thought I should warn you ahead of time so you aren't disappointed when you get something in Japanese.

No, it's okay and I wasn't trying to rhyme. I even tried translating myself but I thought it'd be better if a proffesional did it. Although I do know of translating sites but they translate it into actual Japanese, not the Romaji part of it; and I can't read Japanese.
