This is part two of what was mostly a cross-post of [this Quora
post](https://mickgorroonyoutubeartisticsongtranslations.quora.com/Today-we-
have-a-Japanese-song-which-I-met-ages-ago-in-late-2011-and-soon-translated-to-
Italian-Chinese-English-and).

The song is [this one](https://lyricstranslate.com/en/detektiv-conan-ost-
anata-ga-iru-kara-lyrics.html), and the lyrics go:

もしもこの世に汚れがなければ  
姿を変えずに愛し合えたのに  
どうして時は衆を分つの  
ねえそばにいて今だけ  
  
あなたがいるから私は強くなる  
誓いの指輪きらきらきれいね  
You will realize 小さな夢も  
You are the one 心満たされる  
  
夜のハイウエイバイクを飛ばして  
はしゃいだ自由を持て余すくらい  
この目で見て触れて分かる  
確かなものがあったね  
  
あの日の二人にすべて戻らせるなら  
ひざまづく意志になるまでに祈るよ  
We can still be free 百まで数えて  
Never wanna stop 心解き放つ  
  
あなたがいるから私は強くなる  
誓いの指輪きらきらきれいね  
You will realize 小さな夢も  
You are the one いつか叶えられる  

In transliteration:

Moshi mo kono yo ni kegare ga nakereba  
Sugata wo kaezu ni aishiaeta noni  
Doushite toki wa shū wo wakatsu no?  
Nee, soba ni ite ima dake  

Anata ga iru kara watashi wa tsuyoku naru  
Chikai no yubiwa kirakira kirei ne  
You will relize chiisa na yume mo  
You are the one kokoro mitasareru  

Yoru no haiuei baiku o tobashite  
Hashaida jiyuu o moteamasu kurai  
Kono me de mite furete wakaru  
Tashika na mono ga atta ne  

Ano hi no futari ni subete modoserunara  
Hizamazuki ishi ni naru made inoru you  
We can still be free hyaku made kazoete  
Never wanna stop kokoro tokihanatsu  

Anata ga iru kara watashi wa tsuyoku naru  
Chikai no yubiwa kirakira kirei ne  
You will realize chiisa na yume mo  
You are the one itsuka kannaerareru  

And this is the translation attempt [I posted to
lyricstranslate](https://lyricstranslate.com/en/anata-ga-iru-kara-youre-
me.html), with one or two edits:

Even if there were no impurity* in this world LT has "contamination"  
So that [we] could've loved each other without having to change our looks…  
Why does time separate [simple] people? "simple" was added here.  
Hey, be by [my] side, at least now  

Since you're there, I get stronger  
The ring of [my] promise is sparkling, beautiful isn't it?  
You will realize even [my] small dreams  
You are the one, [my] heart is satisfied  

On the highway at night riding a motorbike  
Till [I] don't know what to do with the freedom of making merry  
[I'll] see with these eyes and touch, and understand  
That this has been real [lit. That there has been a real thing [between us]]  

If it will let everything return to [how it was] in the days of us two,  
[I] will pray till [I] want to fall on [my] knees  
We can still be free, count till a hundred  
Never wanna stop, I will set my heart loose  

Since you're there, I get stronger  
The ring of [my] promise is sparkling, beautiful isn't it?  
You will realize even [my] small dreams  
You are the one, [my] heart is satisfied  

I also [asked a question on Quora](https://www.quora.com/unanswered/How-good-
or-bad-is-the-translation-of-the-Japanese-
song-%E3%81%82%E3%81%AA%E3%81%9F%E3%81%8C%E3%81%84%E3%82%8B%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89-that-
I-have-posted-to-lyricstranslate-as-MickG-link-in-question-comments) about
this attempt.

The second question is a matter of singular and plural in the following two
lines:

誓いの指輪きらきらきれいね  
You will realize 小さな夢も  

Japanese doesn’t mark number, so it could be “the ring of the promise”, “the
rings of the promise”, “the ring of the promises”, “the rings of the
promises”, and also “even the small dream” or “even the small dreams”. I don’t
recall “no” marking material, so “the ring of vows” seems wrong. I was taking
this to mean an engagement ring, so “the ring of the [=our] promise”, and then
what small dream are we talking about? I’d go with plural, so “even the
smallest dreams I have”. Is there any reason to do otherwise?

question
translation song-lyrics song
Middle of あなたがいるから: singulars or plurals?
If this 誓いの指輪 is a wedding ring, it's typically singular, but it could be a
pair of rings to symbolize their love. We never know. All you can do is
imagine the situation as concretely as possible and make the most likely
decision.

> what small dream are we talking about?

I don't know what it is exactly, but I don't see any reason to assume they're
trying to realize many dreams simultaneously.
