- This one's almost obligatory, isn't it? The idea here is that I love the sentiment of the official lyrics, but they didn't translate very well into English. In these lyrics, I tried to capture the ideas of the original as poetically as I could manage. I had to skip using the original lyrics of the second verse only because I decided not to mangle another language if I can't mangle it convincingly (in other words, if I haven't studied its phonetics at least). I own the lyrics, but nothing else, really. Still, I'd appreciate it if you asked before using this anywhere.

Lyrics:
Ten thousand voices in the wind o'er my head
Beckon me back from this long path I tread
Though I pass wild lands and taste the sea-foam
All roads shall lead once again to my home
Distantly calling, I hear music sweet
Lifting the weight from my road-weary feet
Are they still dancing to that happy tune
There in the spring when the flow'rs are in bloom?
Do they still breathe deep the fragrance I know?
Do they still breathe it as I did long ago?
Do they still laugh? Have their children grown tall?
When I go back, will I know them at all?
This wind is strange to me, far from my home
I have still longer in this land to roam
One day, I swear, I shall shoulder my load
My home sweet home at the end of my road
One day, I swear, I shall shoulder my load
My home sweet home at the end of my road
This is absolutely incredible, even better than the original, which is a song I dearly love. As mentioned it has a much darker and foreboding feeling than the original which I think fits FFV and the melody a lot more than the semi-whimsical tone that the original song had. That you managed to nearly match the original's voice is more than impressive though!
If they ever make a (Real!) remake of FFV, I should hope Square-Enix will find this song and find a place to use it.
Beautiful song, I knew as soon as I heard the song as I played the game that there had to be lyrics that went. So beautiful, thank you.
@waipolipoli Thank you so much! That's such a sweet thing to say!
@Carlenea Not a problem. It was a good thing for me to start doing anyway.
@Carlenea No and yes. I don't know where I can host the mp3s or I would offer them, but since you're the second person who's asked me for them, I think I'll look into it. I do have a Myspace account, but it unfortunately has nothing to do with my music. It's just a personal one, and I haven't even logged in in...hm. A really, really long time. Thank you so much for the comment!
@Carlenea Well, there you go! mp3 hosting achieved. Hope you enjoy!
These lyrics are fantastic. I love the original, but yours are much less awkward and much more fluent. :) If I credited it properly to you, could I use your lyrics someday in a cover? If not, it's not a problem, I just thought I'd ask! This is beautiful.
Yay! Thanks! ^_^
OMG! Luv your version on this song! By chance, do you have any MP3 links to your songs...and do you have a Myspace account?
Sure, you can use the lyrics as long as you credit them.
If this is a fan based video for V, then what are scenes from 8 and 9 doing in it?
Can I still download this song from somewhere? The link doesn't work anymore!
