Rhapsodies of Vana'diel Song (Vana'diel Hoshi Uta) Fan Translation/Adaptation

[Belmonts]

Dear SE,

This is just a fan-translation/adaptation of my own out of the admiration and gratitude I feel about this song and this game who gave me so many years of joy.

I know you guys can do it a lot better and probably there will be an official translation, so there can be some mistakes, also, is 5 a.m. in the morning. (*'ω'*)

The days when we stood on our own
時が経ち家族となり

After being tired of running on this journey, I looked up above
星の唄と絆のコーラス

In the stars there is a chorus with the bonds we formed

今こそ響き渡れ

Now is the time for it to resound
世界の名前はヴァナ・ディール

The name of that world, Vana’diel
神の子冒険者よ

Adventurers, children of the Goddess
クリスタルのもとへ

Who all came from the crystal

届いてる 呼びかけの声
[Todoiteru yobikake no koe]
It reaches me, those calling voices
新しい答えがある
[Atarashii kotae ga aru]
There is a whole new answer
愛に包まれて
[Ai ni tsutsumarete]
It wraps us in love
空を超えて光り出す
[Sora wo koete hikari dasu]
Goes beyond the skies and shines intensely

今また力合わせ

And it will do so, forevermore…

It is pretty moving that one of the singers, RIRIKA, is also an avid player of this game.

Any word on whether the tracks specific to "Rhapsodies of Vana'diel" will be released on iTunes? It would be unfortunate to have to buy the blu-ray just for a handful of tracks.

Probably they will, just we have to be patient. Maybe there is some extra paperwork when other people (meaning us) is mixed up in a copyrighted song in Japan.
