 i can hear jingle bells
okay, here's what i have so far. i'd like some help, as the parts with * by them are ones that are a bit confusing to me, especially the one about scrooge, i think i'm way off on that part. pm me if you want to help me out with this.
thanks.
-----------------------
I can hear jingle bells
For some reason, tonight both Dad and Mom
are being nicer than the usually are.
Light a candle, turn out the light,
hurry up and cut the cake, please.
Since I was little, I've always counted down (on my fingers),*(指折り数えて)
excited while waiting for this day to come.
The big fir tree in the park
looks like a toy rocket.
Jingle bells This night is special.
Jinble bells You too should stand up.*(君にもうたってあげるよ)
I'm familiar with the way home;(見なれている 帰り道さえ)
it's like a postcard from a foreign country, isnt' it.
All the lovers are dressed nicely.
To this unending night I melt away.*(終らない夜へ とけてゆくよ)
In the bed of my lonely room,
I thought it'd be alright if this kind of day didn't come.
If I turn on the radio switch,*(なのにラジオのスイッチ入れたら)
I would hear the sound come, even to one such as I.*(そんな僕にも 聞こえてきたんだ)
Jingle bells This night is special.
Jinble bells You too should stand up.*(君にもうたってあげるよ)
*If even Scrooge from "A Christmas Carol"(クリスマス キャロルのスウルージだって)
*stopped being so uncaring, it wasn't until that.(しらけてしまえば それまでだったさ)
*The spirits たずねて来なくたって
I remember, those wonderful words!
Jingle bells Tonight is special.
Jingle bells Look! If you clear your ears.*(耳をすませば ホラ)
Jingle bells You can hear the sound of the bells.
Jingle bells Smile.*(笑ってよ)
Because tonight is Merry Christmas!

君にもうたってあげるよ => on the sheet it's 'mou'... tatte could be 'stand', 'depart'... hard to say.
見なれている 帰り道さえ = even the familiar road home. sae = even
そんな僕にも 聞こえてきたんだ = even i can hear it. the japanese phrasing is rather awkard translated directly.
精霊達はたずねて来なくたって => tazuneru = most likely 'to visit', in this case. something about the spirits not coming to visit.
i'll look at it more later...

woops! i meant to put "mou"...sorry! i'll fix that. maybe it means "you too should come out," like come join in the festivities...or something?
on the "since i was little" part, i think
"when i was little, i counted down on my fingers,"
would be better. and i'm assuming that the big tree looks like a toy rocket because it's all lit up...
"even though i'm familiar with the way home, it's like a postcard from a foreign country" works better (thanks terra!).
I kind of like the more direct "even to one such as I" because i think he's talking about how he lost his love of christmas for a while or something.
the scrooge verse seems to me to be something alon the lines of:
just as Scrooge from "A Christmas Carol,"
I stopped being so uncaring, but
the spirits never came to visit me."
of course, that's not quite what it is, as i can't figure out the それまでだったさ part...
and i want to change the "smile" at the end to "go on and laugh" or "go on and smile."

You need a keyboard with kanjis and hiraganas. It's the size of a billboard and it's how everyone types in japan.

;-___- leave carnval alone.
you can either install/configure an IME in windows that allows you to type directly wherever you want, or you can cut and paste from JWPce.
