"Yuna's Ballad" is a second theme associated with Yuna in Final Fantasy X-2. Unlike Yuna's character theme, "Yuna's Ballad" is an emotional and sorrowful leitmotif, reminiscent of her original Final Fantasy X theme.
Game appearances[]
Final Fantasy X-2[]
"Yuna's Ballad" is the 11th track of the original soundtrack's second disc. The song most notably plays during YRP's fight against Bahamut in the Bevelle Underground, and moments where Yuna thinks about Tidus. It also plays during Gug's fiend tale ending.
Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission[]
After completing Last Mission, a music video for a vocal version called "Kimi e" (君へ。, To you?), sung by Yuna's Japanese voice actress, Mayuko Aoki plays, featuring scenes from Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 (see below).
Lyrics[]
- Kanji
- 吐息思わせる 雨音に包まれて
- 言葉は無力と気がついてる
- 伝わるのは一つだけ
- そう冷めた頬に
- 手のひらで 触れて感じる
- 儚い温もりで
- 二人の隙間を埋めて
- 鼓動を響かせてこの時を
- 分かち合えるから
- 瞳閉じて
- 君と歩く午後 訳もなくふと思う
- やがてこの日々は終わるのかも
- 予感の声聞くよりも
- そう笑みをかわし
- 手のひらを重ね信じる
- ささやかなぬくもりで
- 二人の絆つないで
- 命をかなでて
- 愛しさを燃やして
- この瞬間を染めて
- 何もかも移ろう世界
- 時を止めたいと
- 願う夢消えても
- いま君と生きてくひとときは
- 夢じゃないから
- 儚いぬくもりが
- 遥かに離れたとしても
- 魂震えた瞬間の
- 思い宿して
- 明日へ
- 懐かしい手のひらを
- 私は忘れないから
- 君へと辿り着き 巡りあう必ず
- 暗闇さえも越えて
- Rōmaji
- Toiki omowaseru amaoto ni tsutsumarete
- Kotoba wa muryoku to kigatsuiteru
- Tsutawaru no wa hitotsu dake
- Sō sameta hoho ni
- Tenohira de furete kanjiru
- Hakanai nukumori de
- Futari no sukima wo umete
- Kodō wo hibikasete kono toki wo
- Wakachiaeru kara
- Hitomi tojite
- Kimi to aruku gogo wakemonaku futo omō
- Yagate kono hibi wa owaru no kamo...
- Yokan no koe kiku yorimo
- Sō emi wo kawashi
- Tenohira wo kasane shinjiru
- Sasayaka na nukumori de
- Futari no kizuna tsunaide
- Inochi wo kanadete
- Itoshisa wo moyashite
- Kono shunkan wo somete
- Nanimokamo utsurō sekai
- Toki wo tometai to
- Negau yume kiete mo
- Ima kimi to ikiteku hitotoki wa
- Yume janai kara
- Hakanai nukumori ga
- Harukani hanareta toshitemo
- Tamashī furueta shunkan no
- Omoi yadoshite

- Watashi wa wasurenai kara
- Kimi e to tadoritsuki meguriau kanarazu
- Kurayami sae mo koete
- English translation
- I am wrapped in the sound of rainfall that makes me think of a sigh,
- And I realize that words are powerless
- There is only one that I can communicate,
- So I touch and feel
- Your cold cheek with the palm of my hand
- I am bridging the gap
- Between the two of us with fleeting warmth,
- And making my heartbeat echo,
- And closing my eyes because
- We can share this time
- I suddenly think, without reason, in the afternoon when I walk with you
- That maybe these days will come to an end soon
- Rather than listen to the voice of premonition,
- I thus exchange a smile,
- Put my palm on top of yours, and believe
- I am connecting the bond between
- The two of us with a modest warmth,
- And playing with life,
- And burning with loveliness,
- And dyeing this moment
- A world where everything will change
- I want to stop time
- Even if the dream I wish disappears,
- Because the moment I am living with you now
- Is not a dream
- Even if the fleeting warmth
- Has drifted far away from us,
- We will carry the thoughts of the moment
- When our souls trembled
- To tomorrow
- I will not forget about
- The nostalgic palm of your hand,
- So I will find my way to you, and we will always meet by chance,
- Going beyond even darkness
