這是Final Fantasy系列中我非常喜歡的一首曲子。不久前買了Distant Worlds music from Final Fantasy 台北場的票，不知道海外場的陣容完整度如何。溫習了一下之前日本場Voices Music From Final Fantasy的影片，嗯，歌劇可以跳過，但實在很希望能聽到白鳥英美子現場演唱Melodies of Life啊～～～ 話說回來，這音樂會的票最高票價賣到一張不剩，完全看不出來經濟到底不景氣在哪裡了。最近日幣相對於台幣漲這麼多，四月要買到很貴的FF7ACC了，PS3主機似乎只能乖乖買亞版了。希望年底FF13發行的時後已經降回來了，當然，前提是FF13和versus13年底能発売…(￣Д￣;;
[日本語版]
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

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 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 tommorow 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 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.
