YOU SAID:
you see my hope was all but gone
INTO JAPANESE
あなたは私の希望が消えていたのを見る
BACK INTO ENGLISH
You see my hope was gone
INTO JAPANESE
あなたは私の希望が消えたのを見る
BACK INTO ENGLISH
You see my hope gone
INTO JAPANESE
あなたは私の希望が消えたのを見る
BACK INTO ENGLISH
You see my hope gone
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
