Melodies of Life (tiếng Nhật), Ca khúc chủ đề của Final Fantasy IX
Đợi lâu quá mà không nghe được ?
"Được thôi mà. Cứ hát đi. Vì đó là bài hát của chúng ta mà, đúng không?"
—Zidane Tribal

"Melodies of Life" là ca khúc chủ đề của Final Fantasy IX. Bài hát được sáng tác bởi Nobuo Uematsu và được biểu diễn bởi Emiko Shiratori trong cả hai phiên bản tiếng Anh và tiếng Nhật.

"Over the Hills" is Final Fantasy IX's main theme, and is an arrangement of the central melody of "Melodies of Life". The melody is featured in many instances throughout the game, mostly in scenes involving Zidane and Dagger or in Madain Sari. In the game, Melodies of Life was also dubbed "Our song" by Zidane after he catches Dagger singing in Madain Sari. In the ending sequence of the game the song is mentioned again, although it does not say which of the two said it.

Japanese lyrics[]

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
こまでもつづく

English Translation[]

I was wandering without a destination
I continued to search without any clues
Making the memories you gave to me
into a song to heal my heart

The days when, without making any promises,
without exchanging words or consciously deciding,
you embraced me and sought me out;
those days will never return

The you who touches my hand
within my memories
can still call
out my name

Change those flowing tears
into shining courage
Life goes on,
continuing beyond the night
into a tomorrow
which has never been doubted.

I wonder how many memories have been left
to the sky beyond the flying birds
while forgetting even fleeting hopes and dreams
in an unreachable place

How can you say that happening upon each other
was a coincidence,
even when the time for us to part
will surely come?

Even though I am fated to fade away,
as long as you are alive
life will go on
for eternity;
all the way to the limits
of that strength.

Even if I were to die,
as long as you are alive,
life will go on
for eternity;
all the way to the limits
of that strength

Lyrics (English Version)[]

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 birds 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 bird - forever and on

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
