"Rhapsodies of Vana'diel"

Trouble with the audio sample?

It is a vocal arrangement of Vana'diel March.

Lyrics

Japanese 思い出す 独り立ちの日 時 が経ち 家族となり 走り疲れて 見上げれば 星の唄と 絆のコーラス 今こそ響き渡れ 世界の名前はヴァナ・ディール 神の子 冒険者よ クリスタルのもとへ 届いてる 呼びかけの声 新しい答えがある 愛に包まれて 空を超えて光り出す 今また力合わせ 世界を繋ごう ヴァナ・ディール 希望の旅は続く はるかとこしえに

English translation

When I set out

The only footsteps

Were my own.

Yet as I traveled,

Ever more voices were

Added to my chorus.

A chorus that echoed throughout

the land...of Vana'diel.

Adventurers...children of Altana...

Gather now, proud before the crystals.

And as I strove ever forward

The voices called out to me

Giving answers I never heard before.

Never had I felt so safe

As my spirit soared toward the sky.

Together we are more than when we stand alone

Protecting the land...of Vana'diel.

And we press ever forward...

And the sun never sets.
