Lyrics

The official lyrics were released on the Final Fantasy XI Priceless Remembrance album.

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 ＜コーラス＞ ラララ～

Rōmaji Omoidasu Hitoridachi no hi Toki ga tachi kazoku to nari Hashiri tsukarete miagereba Hoshi no uta to kizuna no kōrasu Ima koso hibiki watare Sekai no namae wa vanadīru Kami no ko bōkensha yo Kurisutaru no moto e Todoi teru Yobikake no koe Atarashī kotae ga aru Ai ni tsutsuma rete Sora o koete hikari dasu Ima mata chikara awase Sekai o tsunagou vanadīru Kibō no tabi wa tsuzuku Haruka tokoshie ni <Kōrasu> Rarara~

Unofficial 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.

<Chorus>

Lalala~
