I'm assuming this would be the best place to ask, so here I go:
You might be familiar with great japanese Folk/Rock artist called Takuro Yoshida. One of his most well known song (partially thanks to Cromartie High Shcool) is "Ningen Nante": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymE4EDvSKbk
So I come here with humble request: Is there someonein /jp/ with good enough Japanese skills to translate the lyrics in english? I've heard that "Nignen Nante" means something like "Huh, people" but that's all I know of the song.
Here are the lyrics in romaji:
Nani ka ga hoshii oira
Sore ga nandaka wakara nai
Dakedo nani ka ga tari nai yo
Ima no jibun mo okashii yo
Sora ni ukabu kumo ha
Itsuka doko ka he ton de yuku
Soko ni nani ka ga arun daro u ka
Sore ha dare ni mo wakara nai

And here in kanji (I hope copypasting will work properly):
何かが欲しい~オイラ~ それが~何だかは わからない~
だけど~何かが たりないよ~ 今の~自分もおかしいよ~
空に~浮かぶ 雲は~
いつか~どこかへ 飛んでゆく~
そこに~何かがあるんだろうか~
それは~誰にも わからない~
The picture is of the man himself.

That's too bad. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask though.

I like him a lot. The only problem is, that I don't understand Japanese at all, so I miss big part of the songs. Ningen Nante is my favorite song and it doesn't have that much lyrics, so I thought someone might be kind enough to help me out.

Somehow we don't know what

Right now I feel strange too
>空に~浮かぶ 雲は~
Floating in the sky, a cloud
>いつか~どこかへ 飛んでゆく~
Someday flying away somewhere
>そこに~何かがあるんだろうか~
Could something be there?

Sounds legit, thank you so much.
Have this.

I vaguely remember some copipe from way back that had something about Ningen Nante in it. IIRC, it was about a homicidal young man and his mother, and his bringing over a girl to his house, which ended tragically. And the mother turned out to be just as inhumanly strange and anime-obsessed as the son. Thanks for reading.
