Romaji Translation Please

[ch3570r]

Domo, Nesutaa desu.
Hi, I just started learning Japanese about a week ago (by way of japanesepod101.com) and I need some help with a bit of translation.
Here is the Romaji I need help with:
kimi ga inaku natte kara to iumono
boku wa koko ni tatasumi
nanika o motomete ikite iru
Ah, kimi o omoi utaundayo
Ah, kimi o omotteiru
Its a section of the lyrics to the song "hold me tight" (Kimi no Machi Made) by Asian Kung-Fu Generation.
I want to continue learning Japanese, and I hope this community will help me in the process.
Mata ne
(I hope my Romaji spelling was ok)

I can't help you with the translation since I don't have enough knowledge to do so. But I would advice you to start learning japanese by memorizing both hiragana and katakana.
And welcome to the forums. :wave:

よう こそへフォーラム ,
Hideway san is right, that's the best way to get started .. don't rush things and start with the basics and don't get dependent on romaji .. it's just a help to start and u won't need it later .. ganbatte :cool:

Thanks for the advice. Is there any site or reference that anyone may recommend for learning hiragana and katakana?

I found : cjvlang.com

I'm using wikipedia. Most of the characters have a description of the strokes order which is important. I had a link to a better website, but I unfortuly forgot to save it when I installed windows vista.

BrunuoH did a thread with several websites oriented towards teaching japanese, I didn't bothered to check them all but probably some of them do teach hiragana and/or katakana.

As far as I know, the best way to start is by learning mnemonics for the characters. For that I'm using this website: http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/nihongo/contents.html

I hope it helps. Good learning. :-)
