Help!!!
 
hey you out there.
my japanese is pretty bad so i hope one of you may help me out.
i need a translation of the following sentence:

"if only tonight we could sleep"

it would be awesome if you could also tell me which hiragana and kanji to use.

thanks a lot!!

Do you mean "I hope tonight we can sleep" or "I hope for this one night only, we can sleep"?

noplan 09-25-2007 10:15 PM

i think more like I hope for this one night only, we can sleep.

it's expressed like a wish...like "huh i wish we could sleep tonight" just more passionated

" if only..."

I can do it, but masaegu will have the perfect answer.

it would be great if you could do it. thanks a lot!!
there's no need to express it that precisely but i'm quiet interested in how it would be a 100percent correct. do you think it's okey to ask masaegu as well??
i don't want to get on anybody's nervs but it's quiet important for me.

I would probably put it as:
今夜こそ眠ればいいのにな。
konya koso nemureba ii noni na.

allright thank you for helping!!
i aked masaegu and he gave me the following sentence.

"Konya dake wa yukkuri nemuremasu you ni..."

my japanese is horrible but i tried to translate it word for word and i think it says exactly what i wanted to say.
