Help to Translate a Song

Postby Monox D. I-Fly » Sun Oct 02, 2016 11:37 am

I am attempting to translate some Indonesian songs to Japanese with keeping the exact amount of syllables to make them singable with the exact same tone. The English rough translation is this:

Look at that cloud over there
It is drifting towards me
Surely, that it also knows

I want to skip all of these
not beautiful pages of life
but still, I am going through them

Together with yourself
Surely it is better
I am so sure of that
If I am alone
My heart is just like the
sky covered by mist

What I have done so far:

Ano kumo wo miru
Watashi ni nagareru
Kitto, are wa shiru

?????????tai
????????? jinsei
Demo, boku wa ikiru

Kimi de issho ni
Kitto ii yori
Boku wa shinjiru
Hitori nara
Kokoro wa kiri
gakure no sora

Also, what this the Japanese word of "follow" as in "following the tone of the song"?
Thanks in advance.
