Accompany TF in making new TCs, because there are practically none, as for recent ones Very Happy

No boundaries, a song by Adam Lambert (and Kriss Allen, and Kara DioGuardi Very Happy

)

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up all your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries, there are no boundaries

Or, if you want to, you can translate the whole lyrics, which can be found here

Just for fun, a rough translation to Latvian. Trying to match it to the music. (I'm not sure, if I'm using the "∅" symbol correctly, but well, what the heck Very Happy

)

Ar katru soli uzkāp jaunā kalnā,
Ar katru elpu noticēt ir grūtāk -
Var sāpēm cauri tikt, var vētras pārvarēt
Un aizsniegt to vienu.

Kad jau šķiet - šis ceļš nekur vairs neved,
Kad gandrīz esi atteicies no sapņiem,
Aiz rokas paņem tie un tev parāda -
Nav tev šķēršļu. Nav tev šķēršļu.

Oh lord, glossing Latvian is HARD, when I want to do it properly Very Happy

Therefore, I will only explain the suffixes and how they change the meaning of the verb, if someone asks me to.
Also, the compund present (here: [tu] esi atteicies) is a little hard to gloss, since PART can mean any participle, but there is only one that does the thing in Latvian - the past participle of active voice Wink

Somehow this managed to escape my notice! Would have done it sooner had I seen it.

Japanese:

全ての進出で、まだ山を上る
subete no shinshutsu (right word?) de, mada yama wo noboru
吹けば吹くほど、これを信じるのは難しくなる：
fukeba (right word?) fuku hodo, kore wo shinjiru no wa muzukashiku naru:
この痛みを耐えること、台風をしのぐこと
kono itami wo taeru koto, taifuu wo shinogu koto
あのものひとつを手に入れるように
ano mono hitotsu wo te ni ireru you ni

道はどこにも行かないと思えば
michi wa doko ni mo ikanai to omoeba
夢を諦めようとすれば
yume wo akirameyou to sureba
手を握って、君に出来ることを人が見せる
te wo totte, kimi ni dekiru koto wo hito ga miseru
果てはないよ、果てはないよ
hate wa nai yo, hate wa nai yo

(gloss if people ask)

Emitare:

Khozöa, agasu me eya vokesu
Asa kezöa, voayo verale ma
Somara ea re, tulja arikeinu re
Domariai kesura

Ya toyame meljumai ri verale ne,
Sjena khedare evue ne,
Nove le tjira, me yaruzjine yareyu
E uzalju, e uzalju
