【鏡音リン】炉心融解 Kagamine Rin | Meltdown | English translation explained in detail (word-by-word)

I figured I should go through a detailed explanation of how I translate things, and also how to make sense of this very popular song through translating it.

This is a long post, so be aware.

【超短編アニメ】世界一短い恋愛ドラマ

【ちょうたんぺんアニメ】せかいいちみじかいれんあいドラマ
super-short anime/animation: the shortest love/romantic drama in the world

別れる理由・・・？

the reason (for) breaking up*...?

何か間違っている？

Am I making a mistake?**

何も間違ってはいないわ。ただ、恋にとって正しいものは常に正しくないのよ。

You're not making any mistake. With love, the right thing (to do) is not always right.

理不尽な理由だな。
What an irrational reason.

どんなに理不尽な理由であっても、理由がないよりはましじゃない？
No matter how irrational of a reason I have, isn't it better than no reason at all?

どうしても別れるの？
So... we're breaking up?*

ええ、女性専用車両ですもの。
Yes, because this is the women-only train.



超　=　ちょう: super, ultra, really, very
短編　=　たんぺん: short (story/film)
理不尽 = りふじん: irrational, unreasonable
ないよりはまし = better than nothing, more than none
女性専用車両 = じょせいせんようしゃりょう: women-only carriage (on a train), only for women passengers



* Note that the verb 別れる means "to be divided" or "to separate". They are separating because he's in the wrong train car; that's the joke.

** UPDATE: After being informed by the creator of the video above, I was told that the boy was not saying "are you making a mistake?" but rather "am I making a mistake/did I make some sort of mistake?" so yeah, I apologize for that mistake on my part! 蔵方透さんに、本当にありがとうございました
