banzai is like 'cheers' or 'hooray' and is indeed said in celebration.

Can someone translate this for me please

Tatoeba asa ga konakute
Kono mama eien no yami ni nomareru
Sonna sekai no saigo ni
Boku wa donna kotoba wo tsuku kana?

Hoshi no kieta madarana sora ni
Ukabikieru kazoekirenai kako
Gisei no hate kareta daichi wa
Tsuzuru kizu darake no shinario

Ato sukoshi mou sukoshi ka yowaki sakebi wa
Mune wo toorinukeru yokaze ni kakikesareta
Mou aisenai saigo ni hajimete
Kimi wo koishiku omou sukuenai egoisuto
Kanashii hodo shizukana yoru ni

Asu no kieta nokori wazukana
Genzai wo warau kawarihateta joukei
Gisei no hate kareta daichi wa
Tsuzuru kizu darake no shinario
Ato sukoshi mou sukoshi ka yowaki sakebi wa
Mune wo toorinukeru yokaze ni kakikesareta
Mou aisenai saigo ni hajimete
Kimi wo koishiku omou sukuenai egoisuto

Aa waraenai akumu dato oshiete
Soshite minareru hibi minareta machi no sora wo

Mou modoranai saigo ni hajimete
Nanika ni sugari nakijakuru kieteyuku sabishisa wo
Kanashii hodo shizukana yoru ni

Arigatou in advance

What does maru mean when part of a name...I was just watching Dororo and the guy was Hyakki-maru and there was Tohru-maru.

I know Maru can mean zero or circle but does it have a different meaning when part of a name???

It's just part of a name like -suke. In the movie, they were trying for a name similar to Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee.

Your previous question about song lyrics uses too much romaji. It's hard to read. Bang Head

    I think you mean "sukoshi daisuki" Sukoshi means a little bit, daisuki means you like someone (or something) a lot. In doramas they'll say "daisuki" in place of "love", so, in the context you're using, it means they like/love something a little bit.

i know you realize this...but....

sukoshi daisuki...seems like an improbable phrase because it's like saying i like you a lot but only a little..

    Yeah, I know, but they wanted a translation, and I figured anything like that HAD to come from a Tacky drama and I didn't want to know any more.
    @ suzzy, "kudasai" means "please", "urusai" means "be quiet", and "boku" is the male informal for "watashi" or "I"

Well, you should have asked this in the "Japanese to English" thread, but here goes:
    Konbonwa = good evening, Oyasuminasai = good night (before going to bed), Dozo/dozo yoroshiku = please, go ahead Souka = Is that so? or I see, Ogenki desu ka = How are you?, genki desu = I'm fine, Chikushoo = Damn it!, Aho = this is the word they use for "baka" which means stupid or idiot in the Kansai region (Osaka), Gomen = sorry, Sumimasen = excuse me, Daijoubu = O.K., Suwatte = sit, Kuso = Shit! (figure of speech, not excrement) Irashimase = Welcome! (said to customers when entering a store) Kokoro = heart, Ame = rain, Honto desu ka? = Really?, Abunai = dangerous, Kirei = pretty, Wakarimasen = I don't know/don't understand, Wasurenai = don't forget, Tasuke = help, Chotto mate, kudasai = wait a second.

    I think both words are used in both regions, the difference being that in Kanto aho is a bit softer and baka is more harsh, but in Kansai it's the other way around.
