Fluas nun sango senkulpa<br>
sur Vana'diel, vasta ter'<br>
Tremas la tuta mond'<br>
pro l' plago en desper'<br>
<br>
Preventas ĝin<br>
Nenia sort<br>
Haltigas ĝin<br>
Nenia fort<br>
<br>
Sed tra la nokto tempesta<br>
brilas jen stelo de glor'!<br>
Kontraū brutala kri'<br>
fontas jen kant sonor'!<br>
<br>
Stelo brilanta, kanto sonanta:<br>
revo kaj preĝo por ni!<br>
<br>
Vana'diel! Vana'diel!<br>
<br>
Mano kaj man' kunpremitaj<br>
trans la eterno sen lim'<br>
ne dismetiĝos plu,<br>
ne disligiĝos plu!

Now, innocent blood flows<br>
On the vast lands of Vana'diel<br>
The entire world trembles<br>
Before the plague, in despair<br>
<br>
No luck can stop it<br>
No force can stop it<br>
<br>
But against the stormy night,<br>
shines a star of glory!<br>
Against a brutal cry,<br>
here comes a resounding song!<br>
<br>
A star shining, a song sounding:<br>
A dream and a prayer for us!<br>
<br>
Vana'diel! Vana'diel!<br>
<br>
Hand in hand, held together<br>
Through the endless eternity<br>
We will no longer be torn apart,<br>
we will no longer be separated!

いま、罪なき血が流れる<br>
ヴァナ・ディールの大地に<br>
全世界が戦慄する<br>
災禍がため、絶望にのまれ<br>
<br>
防げはしない、いかなる定めにも<br>
<br>
とめられはしない、いかなる力にも<br>
<br>
だが、嵐の夜を貫いて<br>
栄光の星が輝く<br>
獣の叫びに抗いて<br>
歌の響きが湧きいてる<br>
<br>
輝く星、鳴りわたる歌<br>
われらが夢と祈りよ<br>
<br>
ヴァナ・ディール　ヴァナ・ディール<br>
<br>
永遠を超えて<br>
さしのべられた手と手は<br>
もう放されることはない<br>
もうほどけることはない

Fusege wa shinai, ikanaru sadame ni mo<br>

Eikō no hoshi ga kagayaku<br>
