"Why" from Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-

"Why" is the theme song of Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. It is performed by J-Pop star Ayaka Iida and featured in the game's final FMV. An instrumental version of "Why" titled "Why (CCFFVII Mix)" plays when Angeal Hewley, Zack Fair's friend and mentor, perishes in Modeoheim. The song's country feel alludes to Zack's "country boy" origins.

Lyrics

Japanese Kanji

瞳の奥がぼやけて見えない

心の底の気持ちはあるの?

世界の全てを手にしたとしても

それがあなたの幸せなの?

Why 孤独な空を見上げるの?

Why 笑って見せてよ

言葉にするのが下手な

あなたの性格わかるから

遠い昔に何があったの?

視線をそらすあなたの瞳に

一人でさみしい夜に抱きしめられる

そんな温かさ知ってる?

Why どうして形にこだわるの?

Why 心を開いて

大きな荷物を背負った

あなたを受け入れられる力

あるわ信じてみて...

Ohh... Yeaahh

自由な人は不器用で...

自由な人は不安で...

Why 孤独な空を見上げるの?

Why 笑って見せてよ

言葉にするのが下手な

あなたの性格わかるから

信じてみて

Why...?

Ohh... Yeaahh

Why...?

Oh oh... Yeaahh

Why...?

Japanese Rōmaji

Hitomi no oku ga boyakete mienai

Kokoro no soko no kimochi wa aru no?

Sekai no subete o te ni shi ta to shite mo

Sore ga anata no shiawasena no?

Why kodokuna sora o miageru no?

Why waratte mise te yo

Kotoba ni suru no ga hetana

Anata no seikaku wakarukara

Tōi mukashi ni nani ga atta no?

Shisen o sorasu anata no hitomi ni

Hitori de samishī yoru ni dakishime rareru

Son'na atataka-sa shitteru?

Why dōshite katachi ni kodawaru no?

Why kokorowohiraite

Ōkina nimotsu o seotta

Anata o ukeirerareru chikara

Aru wa shinjite mite?

Ohh... Yeaahh

Jiyūna hito wa bukiyōde?

Jiyūna hito wa fuande?

Why kodokuna sora o miageru no?

Why waratte misete yo

Kotoba ni suru no ga hetana

Anata no seikaku wakarukara

Shinjite mite

Why...?

Ohh... Yeaahh

Why...?

Oh oh... Yeaahh

Why...?

English translation

I can't see out of my blurry pupils

Do you have any feelings deep down inside?

Even if you have the everything in the world,

Is that what makes you happy?

Why do you look up at the lonely sky?

Why don't you laugh and show me?

I'm not good at putting it into words

Because I know your personality

What happened to you in the distant past?

In your eyes that avert your gaze

I can hug you on lonely nights when I'm alone

Do you know that kind of warmth?

Why do you care about the shape?

Why open your heart?

I'm carrying a big load on my back

I have the strength to accept you

Believe me...

Ohh... Yeaahh

Free people are clumsy...

Free people are insecure...

Why do you look up at the lonely sky?

Why don't you laugh and show me?

I'm not good at putting it into words

Because I know your personality

Believe me

Why...?

Ohh... Yeaahh

Why...?

Oh oh... Yeaahh

Why...?
