Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[Yuyuka3]

Sunrise lyrics from the devblog.

手繰り寄するは　かの情景
⇒たぐりよするは　かのじょうけい
taguri yosuru wa kano joukei
Drawn to a heart and a soul, saved by a hero true

清らに優し　恋ひ恋ふ吾が君よ
⇒きよらにやさし　こいこうあがきみよ
kiyora ni yasashi koi kou agakimi yo
Stranger to kindness until freed by love eternal, you and I

Blazing Scarlet, fire within
Honor binds me unto errant kin
Yea, if here I find my end
Stay your tears, for we shall meet again

陽炎の如く消えた　恋ひ恋ふ吾が君
⇒かげろうのごとくきえた　こいこうあがきみ
kagerou no kotoku kieta koi kou agakimi
As the light of the setting sun fades, bid farewell to me beloved

長き別れが来たり　幾度願へども
⇒ながきわかれがきたり　いくどねがえども
nagaki wakare ga kitari ikudo negaedomo
In these fleeting moments hold my hand, as I whisper a silent prayer

千年の暁　臥い乞う夜　過ぎて
⇒せんねんのあかとき　こいこうや　すぎて
senen no akatoki koi kouya sugite
Should dawn never break on this thousand thousand year night, I promise

三世を羽ばたけど　ゆくえなく
⇒さんぜをはばたけど　ゆくえなく
sanze wo habata kedo yukuenaku
Should I take to wing and seek you in every distant sky...

一念に流すは　濃い紅の涙よ
⇒いちねんにながすは　こいこうのなみだよ
ichinen ni nagasu wa koi kou no namida yo
One last breath and I fracture, shatter─crimson sorrow, endless, boundless

願わくば吾が君　生き出で給へ
⇒ねがわくばあがきみ　いきいでたまえ
negawakuba agakimi ikiide tamae
One more life for us, one more chance─for this I pray, I beg, I plead

心念に終得て　恋ひ恋ふ身
⇒しんねんについえて　こいこうみ
shinen ni tsuite koi koumi
Dreams of you and me in my heart I hold forevermore, as I falter

朽ちたら　君待つ彼方へと
⇒くちたら　きみまつかなたへと
kuchitara kimimatsu kanata heto
Wait for me, wait for me my love...

Those are, once again, some pretty sad and heavy lyrics... but very fitting to poor Suzaku.

[Handel]

Anyone decoding the lyrics to Starlight, Starbright? I think I definitely heard a "joyous and bright" in there.

[SannaR]

Not sure the 1st part of the song I can't quiet hear what the female is singing as the aaaaaaah's the guys are doing kind of muffles it.

[Iscah]

The first line sounds like "come ye children, ______ and merry".

Beyond that... yeah, "joyous and bright" is all I can get out of it, at least with all the Theatrythm chimes going over the top of it.

[Mysteltain]

The first few lines are the most clear, but after that it's pretty difficult to make out. Listening to the 'abject failure' version of the song helped me find a few other lines, but I don't think it was worth the pain it caused...

"Ye children, light(?) and merry,
Bathe us in your light.
Our spirits, skyward(?) carried,
Joyous and bright.

I really can't make out much after that.

[Seraphor]

Listening to eScape again, I can't help but hear 'cluck cluck chicken!' at 1:05.

[Rocl]

A new trailer and a new song! Based on previous pattern I'd guess this one is called "Shadowbringers" :P
I've only managed to make out two lines so far though... with voiced lines and sound effects it's tough!

For whom weeps the Star
Her tears on her skin (??)
???????
Our souls soaked in sin (....why our souls have been sent?)
With ???????? (We ... we're taught to...?)
We fight, we force, we face

One brings shadow, one brings light
Two-toned echoes turning the tide [?]
Three score wasted and ten cast aside 
... following, no end in sight [there's a FOUR/FOR here probably to keep the counting theme going?]
What brings shadow, what brings light
....away we fly!

Now all that we've won, is lost in the Flood (The road that we've walked is Lost in the flood? does not stem the Flood?)
Now follow your fate and now rain tears of blood (down rains tears of blood?) [We are proud to ... rain tears of blood?]
Now ... resent (repent?) ... cast ... tomorrow

.........
Forging forward .....
.........
What brings shadow
What brings light
.......blight

<no idea; kuribu fight sequence>
Shadows of the Past ?????????????? with the Echoes of the Past ????????????

<choir>
Guiding star; guiding light
Through the storm ????
?????????????????
Fighting for ?????
Fighting for ?????????
<end choir>
What brings shadow what brings light
........
<eternal wind>

We fought
we won
we fought
we lost
[all in the end?]
The end, The end, our end ....

Obviously very rough! I'm sure other folks have keener ears than I nowadays

[Mysteltain]

There's also a lot more lyrics in this song than previous CG trailers, which ain't making this any easier, haha! But, yeah, this one's pretty hard compared to the others. Here's my current attempt:

Far on weeps the Star,
Her tears on her ???
???
Her soul soaked in sin.
These ???
While we go to war...

To fight...
To ???...
To ???...

One brings shadow, one brings them flight
Two-toned echoes turning the tide,
Three score wasted, dead cast aside
Full four ??? no end in sight
One brings shadow, one brings them flight
Two dark figures, ??? and lies
??? shadows, away they fly..!

The road that we walk
Does not ???
???
Awaiting the ???
???
Be cast unto ???

One brings shadow, one brings the night
Two ??? lost in the tide
Three ???
Four ???

??? spirits ???
??? twilight ???
???
???

One brings shadows, one brings them flight
From the night..!

???

Our guiding hope
???

One brings shadow, one brings the light
??? shepherd ???

We fall!
We fall!
We fall!
We fall, fall into the end!
The end!
The end of ???

[Annana]

The first line I hear "For whom weeps the Star"

Later on during the male vocals I hear "Now [?] is the reason to be cast unto the morrow"

[LycorisSelunis]

I hear "I bring shadow, I bring the night" in the beginning of the male whisper. given the statement that we are to literally bring the night cycle back to the first, this also makes more sense to me.
