Japanese question.

[Sammy-San]

What is the meaning of tsutsunda ai ni yori? I heard it in the context of a song where it talked of all of our sins.

Who has been encouraging you to come up with so many varied posts and topics that lead people away from /or distract them from/ Scripture and truth ?

This is a question about a vague language.

What is the meaning of tsutsunda ai ni yori?

That's going to be hard to answer, because that's not Japanese. Do you have at least the hiragana for the phrase?

it is romanized Japanese. The line before it was "watashi no tsumi mo zenbu". (my sins, full)

one translation is "love was my undoing" but japanese words have context based meanings and a good guess would be it refers to Jesus's sufferings on the cross. Tanoshii Japanese

1. to become sick; to be struck by a disaster; to hinder; to be hindered; to run into problems; to have an accident

If you believe it's possible to Romanise Japanese.

The line before it was "watashi no tsumi mo zenbu"

Well, that's very helpful, because it tells me that the song is the Japanese version of "What A Beautiful Name" by Hillsong.

The English lyrics are "My sin was great, Your love was greater," so the Japanese lyrics must mean something similar. In particular, "ai" must be 愛, love (in fact, the line is 私の罪も全部 包んだ 愛により -- see What A Beautiful Name). It's possible that the verb tsutsunda may refer to Christ's love covering our sins.

Tsutsunda refers to the cross's sufferings?

Japanese is called a vague language. I would translate the whole context of certain songs (like a paragraph), and best, consult a person born into both languages.

Please spare me in king of my heart is anata ga moyashite kudasai-and google translates it as you should be shy (anata is you)

Lauren Horii is the name you're looking for.

 

[Radagast]

Tsutsunda refers to the cross's sufferings?

I would guess that it means "cover," actually (as in: Christ's love covers our sins). Typing the verb 包んだ into your website gives "cover," "conceal," "hide," and "be engulfed in" as meanings: Tanoshii Japanese

The original English lyrics have "Your love was greater," and we might be dealing with some kind of Japanese idiom to express that.

Oh is Lauren horii japanese? She definitely sounds japanese. The one picture I saw of her she looks like a white woman tho

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Thinking about a beautiful name in the context of a beautiful mind would mean 'only be leary if they never grow up' hth

 

[Sammy-San]

I would guess that it means "cover," actually (as in: Christ's love covers our sins). It seems to be the verb for "wrapping" -- see 包む - Wiktionary

Japanese is so vague.

She looks eurasian-intermediate between white and oriental.

Well, she can sing Japanese, and translate songs into Japanese.

My understanding is that her mother was Japanese, and that her parents were missionaries in Japan, so that she grew up bilingual. Also that her husband is Japanese (hence the Japanese surname).

This is a better link for the verb meaning: Tanoshii Japanese (I edited my previous post)

She looks white-ish.

That sounds fluent.
