おはようございますザネくん！
good morning zane-kun!

It's more likely to be ぜイン unless I'm mispronouncing it.

za-ne sounds cooler xD

kinda like ja-ne ouo

OOOH ive always wanted to learn japanese.

:3 then welcome! come join our little study/learning group ^-^

笹の葉　さらさら　(sasa no ha, sarasara) The bamboo leaves are rusling,
軒端に揺れる　(nokiba ni yureru) swaying at the eaves
お星さま　きらきら　(ohoshisama kirakira) bright star, glittering
金銀砂子　(kin gin sunago) Gold and silver dust

五色の短冊　(goshiko no tanzaku)Five colored wishes
私が書いた　(watashi ga kaita) I will write
お星さま　きらきら　(ohoshisama kirakira) Bright star glittering
空から見てる　(sora kara miteru) In the sky watching.


I failed =w=,

(goshiko came up as goshiki (5 colors) )

a Tanzaku are those paper things you put wishes on and tie them to the branches :3

Oops. "goshiko" was a typo on my part. ^^() It is "goshiki". I apologize! *bow*

You did pretty good! You only made two minor mistakes.

First, the tense on 書いた -- you said "I will write" but the -ta conjugation is past tense, that is, "I wrote".

Second, "kara" means "from", not "in".

Flowed together into more natural English, you might render it as:

The rustling bamboo leaves are swaying at the eaves.
The stars glitter like gold and silver sand.

I wrote a five-colored wish.
The stars glitter and watch from the sky.

Edit: Wait, where'd you get "bright"? Are you just using that as a way of rendering -sama?

it was my way of rendering sama =w=,

What the heck are eaves D;

Like, the edges of a roof, the part that hangs out past the walls.

ohh oxo thats what those are? oxo i just call the whole thing a roof xD
