Final Fantasy X - Isn't It Wonderful? (English Translation)
My heart was swimming
in words gathered by the wind.
My voice bounded
into a cloud-carried tomorrow.
My heart trembled
in the moon-swayed mirror.
Soft tears,
spilled with a stream of stars.
Isn't it wonderful?
If we could walk, hand in hand,
I'd want to go
to your town, your home, in your arms.
I dream of being
against your chest,
my body in your keeping
disappearing into the evening.
Words halted by wind are
a gentle illusion.
A tomorrow torn by clouds is
the voice of a distant place.
My heart that had been
in a moon-blurred mirror that flowed,
Those stars that trembled and spilled
cannot hide my tears.
Isn't it wonderful?
If we could walk, hand in hand,
I'd want to go
to your town, your home, in your arms.
My dream of your face,
that I softly touch,
melts in the morning.

Home On The Range
O give me home, where the buffalo roam
Where the dear and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day
Where the air is so pure and the zephyrs so free
And the breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the citites so bright
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
How often at night when the heavens are so bright
With the light of the glittering stars
I stand there amazed and I ask as I gaze
Does their glory exceed that of ours?
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And skies are not cloudy all day.

Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the darkness, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
"This could be heaven or this could be hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices in corridor
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat,
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me some wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969."
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device."
And in the masters chambers, they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knifes
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive.
You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave

Missing You
Oh my darling
So far away now
Will I ever see your smile
Love goes away
Like night into day
It's just a fading dream
In the darkness
You're my stars
And our love is brigher than all
For eternity
For me there can be
Only you my chosen one
Must I forget you?
Our solemn promise?
Will autumn take the place of spring
What shall I do?
I'm lost without you
Speak to me once more
Must we part now
My life goes on
But my heart won't give you up
Ere I walk away
Let me hear you say
I meant as much to you
So gently you touched my heart
I'll be forever yours
Come what may, I won't age a day
I'll wait, for your.

Eyes On Me
Whenever sang my songs,
On the stage, on my own,
Whenever said my words,
Wishing they would be heard.
I saw you smiling at me,
Was it real or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny, little bar.
My last night here for you,
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you
Maybe yes, maybe no.
I kinda liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Did you ever know that I had mine on you?
Darling, you there you are,
With that look on your face.
As if you're never hurt,
As if you're never down.
Shall I be the one for you,
Who pinches you softly but sure,
If a frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dr--e--a--m--e-r.
So let me come to you,
Close as I wanna be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast.
And stay there as I whisper,
How I loved you peaceful eyes on me.
Did you ever know,
That I had mine on you?
Darling, so share with me
You love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Of pain if that's what it is,
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice.
Just reach me out then,
You'll know that you are not d-r-e-a-m-i-n-g...

Love Grows
Love will grow, and nothing comes in the way,
It's true that love is here to stay;
All we have to do is to face tomorrow.
Love will grow; there's no need to run and hide,
It's true we've always been so slow--
Should I tell you now what's been burning inside?
Darling, strange days are over,
Fears and tears, they're all gone.
This is the very beginning--
Now, the world is meant for you and me.
Love will grow; there's one thing I'm sure of now:
I know that we'll get no more sighs,
Love is to us true-blue, and there's no sorrow.
Love will grow; come what may, we'll never part.
Let's hold on tight to dreams of ours,
Even though we've still got a long way to go...
Darling, strange days are over,
Fears and tears, they're all gone.
This is the very beginning--
Now, the world is meant for you and me.
See how the day has just broken,
Oh, so fresh from the world
See how the brand new sun's coming up--
Let it now...shine on me!
Shine on you...shine on me!
Love will grow, and nothing comes in the way,
It's true that love is here to stay;
All we have to do is to face tomorrow!

Theme Of Mana
Hurry, to get to be next to you
Again and again, I long for you
After you I hurry
To get to be next to you
Again and again, I long for you
My longing is no diamond
(Just a tiny crystal)
A grain of sand in the desert,
A drop of water in the ocean,
But with haughtiness I come
Seasons come and go
And I follow in their wake
All I want is to sleep,
Embraced by your song
All I want is to wait,
Bundled up in a dream
I follow my longing to you
Sat riding on a wind
travelling far
Thrown by waves, I surge toward you
Young energy (a nostalgic song)
Your smile I keep deep in my heart
And I continue my journey
Time is running out--I must hurry
I thought I was free
Free from the past
But memories full of nuances
Flourish deep in me
At last I reach you
Hear my truth and see my dream
My beautiful dream
Seasons come and go
And I follow in their wake
I thought I was free
Free from the past
But memories full of nuances
Flourish deep in me
At last I reach you

Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
Show me the meaning of being lonely.
So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe; walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me...
CHORUS
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
CHORUS - repeat
There's nowhere to run I have no place to go
Surrender my heart' body and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
CHORUS - repeat

Love Of My Life
You are the love of my life
And you are the reason I'm alive
And baby, baby, baby
When I think of how you saved me
I go crazy
I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness
And I know, I know, I know
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You're all I can't resist
And I need to tell you
The first time I held you
I knew you are the love of my life
(Chorus)
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry
And baby, baby, baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
As we stand together
I promise forever
'Til the day that I die
You are the love of my life
(Repeat chorus)
You are the love of my life
You are the reason I'm alive

My Heart Will Go On
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not go away
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

What A Wonderful World
I see trees of green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, clouds of white
The bright blessed day and the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wondeful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
What they're really saying is I love you
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

Melodies of Life
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 good-bye,
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 birds-forever and beyond.
If should I 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 out hearts, as long as we
remember.
