Shiwatari Emiko, Nobuo Uematsu Melodies Of Life ~ Final Fantasy Lyrics

宛てもなく彷徨っていた
手がかりもなく探しつづけた
あなたがくれた想い出を
心を癒す詩にして

約束もすることもなく
交わす言葉も決めたりもせず
抱きしめそして確かめた
日々は二度と帰らぬ

記憶の中の手を振るあなたは
わたしの名を呼ぶことが出来るの

あふれるその涙を
輝く勇気にかえて
いのちはつづく
夜を越え
疑うことのない明日へとつづく

飛ぶ鳥の向こうの空へ
いくつの記憶預けただろう
儚い希望も夢も
届かぬ場所に忘れて

めぐり逢うのは偶然と言えるの
別れる時が必ず来るのに

消えゆく運命でも
君が生きている限り
いのちはつづく
永遠に
その力の限りどこまでも

わたしが死のうとも
君が生きている限り
いのちはつづく
永遠に
その力の限りどこまでもつづく

(Translation)
I was wandering without a destination
I continued to search without any clues
Making the memories you gave to me
into a song to heal my heart

The days when, without making any promises,
without exchanging words or consciously deciding,
you embraced me and sought me out;
those days will never return

The you who touches my hand within my memories
can still call out my name

Change those flowing tears
into shining courage
Life goes on,
continuing beyond the night
into a tomorrow which has never been doubted.

I wonder how many memories have been left
to the sky beyond the flying birds
while forgetting even fleeting hopes and dreams
in an unreachable place

How can you say that happening upon each other was a coincidence,
even when the time for us to part will surely come?

Even though I am fated to fade away,
as long as you are alive
life will go on
for eternity;
all the way to the limits of that strength.

Even if I were to die,
as long as you are alive,
life will go on
for eternity;
all the way to the limits of that strength

(english version)
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.
ce met, we laughed, we held on fast... and then we said goodbye.
and who'll hear the echoes of stories never told ?
let them ring out loud till 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 bird - 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.
