I don't know much japanese, but I was wondering, "Ai Senshi" translates to "Sorrow Soldier" (this was taken from a translated song title). I always thought that "Ai" meant "Love". Could you please cleat this up for me. Thanks.

(悲)戦士 or (ひ)あいせんし or (hi)ai senshi

Just like in english, there are words that sound the same, but have a different meaning:
I went to the bank.
The bank of a river.
To bank a plane.

The ai that means "love" is , not 哀.
