-
Alone for a while, I’ve been searching through the dark
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain
Melodies of life, love’s lost refrain.
Our paths, they did cross, though I cannot say just why
We met, we laughed, we held on fast and then we said goodbye
And who’ll hear the echoes of the stories never told?
Let them ring out loud ‘til they unfold
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me
Though you’re gone, I still believe that you can call out my name
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes on and on
Melodies of life to the sky beyond the flying birds
Forever and beyond
So far and away see the bird as it flies by
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky
I’ve laid my memories and dreams upon those wings,
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings
In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes on and on
Melodies of life to the sky beyond the flying birds
Forever and on
If I should leave this lonely world behind
Your voice will still remember our melody
Now I know we’ll carry on
Melodies of life come circle round and grow deep in our hearts
As long as we remember
English translation by Alexander O. Smith from Japanese by Hiroyuki “Shiomi” Ito - Track Name: Suteki da ne (FINAL FANTASY X)
-
Wind, and my heart swimming in collected words
Moved by the wind, in through the world.
Clouds, like a voice that we all recognize
Carry the holding future.
Moon, on the sky as a trembling heart
Shown on the glass unsteadily.
Stars, shedding tears in an overflowing stream
I see the night all around me.
Suteki da ne
Being together, all alone walking hand in hand.
And I want to go to your city
To your home, into your arms.
That soul
Inside your body
From those conflicted nights
As from my dreams.
Wind died away, and I feel all the words
Led by a gentle illusion.
Clouds are the future that cannot be attained
Told from impossible distance.
The moon filled with night as it flowed through your heart
Such faraway reflections.
Stars, ripe like tears, like fruit falls from a tree
I wipe my dreams off the nighttime.
Suteki da ne
Being together, all alone walking hand in hand.
And I want to go to your city
To your home, into your arms.
To feel your face
The touch of memory
And now that I awake
As from a dream.
