Et voici quelques traductions des vidéos Japonaises : Hi, here's another translation for Part 2. Enjoy. Nonko
0:04 Sebastian was born in France. He made his debut as a pop singer in Paris. He released a solo album CD, but was far from successful. He was leading a double life as an owner of the video rental store as well. He did perform in a musical but he had a hard life as a singer.
0:40 They were in their thirties and were not sure whether they can make a living as a professional singer. All of them were forced into a tight corner.
0:56 Just then, they heard of an audition.
1:04 A world-famous producer, Simon Cowell, showed up before them. He wanted to make a pop group singing in operatic way and was holding many auditions all over the world. After two years, he chose these four singers out of thousands of candidates. Simon told them that they are true singers and asked them to create their original music make the most of the abilities you have born with.
2:10 In 2004 their first CD, IL DIVO, was released after spending six months of recording. Once the album came out, it turned out to be a straight No. 1 hit on the British chart.
2:31 Il Divo was the first group that consists of three tenors and one baritone. Before the debut, they were criticized for being a scratch group and so they were sure to end in a failure, but they made the US charts as well in the following year. Their second album achieved the brilliant feat of winning No. 1 on the US charts.
3:06 After that they toured over 18 countries worldwide and as many as 500 thousands audience enjoyed their concerts. They got out of the depths of poverty and despair, and they became a super group worthy of the name: a group of divine voice.
3:40 It’s been ten years since four of them met for the first time this year. At first they often had quarrels one another due to the language barriers or cultural differences, but such diversity is what makes Il Divo unique and attractive. The lives of each member have been woven together into one harmony, which leads to create something that stirs the emotions of the audience. Now they will sing a perfect love song: the world-wide hit title track from the movie Titanic, My Heart Will Go On.
8:41 Last March Il Divo sang Furusato as a song tribute and the remembrance of the deceased in the Great Tohoku Earthquake. They will never forget this moment.
la partie 3 avec le commentaire de Nonko et les paroles de Furusato :Hi everyone,
We Japanese DIVAS have been waiting for the guys to appear on NHK, which has the same kind of role as BBC. Now more and more Japanese people, women and men alike, will be enchanted by their powerful spell of fascinating voices!
I translated what the lady was talking in Part 3, in which Il Divo sings Furusaot with the kids in Haokone.
Hakone is one of my favorite places in my native Prefecture Kanagawa.
Hope you all have a happy first day of Advent!

1:04 This is the second visit to Japan for them since the Japan tour last March. They came over to an elementary school in Haokone.
1:26 They came here in order to sing Furusato with Japanese kids.
1:31 There are 166 pupils at Hakone no Mori Shogakko (Forest in Haokone Elementary School). All the students welcomed Il Divo in the morning.
1:43 Today 5th & 6th graders will sing with the guys. Of course they have never had such a wonderful experience like this before!
1:54 ♪Hokone no yama ha tenkano ken ~ ♪(Hakone Mountains hard to cross,
The mighty fortress lies right here, …)
For the entire translation of the song :
http://www.mamalisa....p=836&t=es&c=851:59 They are welcoming Il Divo, singing ‘Hokone hachiri’ (hachiri is about 20miles), a traditional Japanese song about the steep mountains in Haokone, where used to be a checking point along the main road from Kyoto to Edo, or Tokyo today.
1:10 ♪mae ni sobie ushironi ~ ♪ (Rising in front, peaking in the rear, …)
1:17 Amaizing! Wonderful! (David & Seb)
1:40 Each of them reflects the time when they were wishing to be a singer and remembers those who supported them at the time.
1:49 At the age of six, Carlos had an unforgettable experience to sing in front of the audience as large as 1500. Since then, his parents have been constantly encouraged him to be a singer.
1:59 In David case, his teacher in the high school choir advised him to be a singer.
2:07 Urs tried to be a rock singer. He happened to take a vocal lesson and the teacher suggested that he should become a classic singer.
2:17 Sebastian’s parents separated when he was only 5. He has always loved to sing since he was little, but he couldn’t afford to take music lessons. Instead he would sing playing the old half-broken piano in his grandma’s room.
2:54 They had cherished their dreams and made them come true. That’s why they had special messages to the kids today.
3:30 You can see Mr. Fuji from the shore of Lake Ashi (Lake Reed).
3:40 Together with the pupils, Il Divo sing this song Furusato, which expresses how hard but wonderful at the same time to pursue your dream.

My Country Home by Greg Irwin
-------------------------------------------------------
Back in the mountains I knew as a child
Fish filled the rivers and rabbits ran wild
Memories, I carry these wherever I may roam
I hear it calling me, my country home
Mother and Fathers, how I miss you now
How are my friends I lost touch with somehow?
When the rain falls or the wind blows I feel so alone
I hear it calling me, my country home
I've got this dream and it keeps me away
When it comes true I'm going back there someday
Chrystal waters, mighty mountains blue as emerald stone
I hear it calling me, my country home
