Lyrics[edit]

Official Esperanto lyrics Esperanto—English translation Original Japanese lyrics Romaji

Fluas nun sango senkulpa
sur Vana'diel, vasta ter'
Tremas la tuta mond'
pro l' plago en desper'

Preventas ĝin
Nenia sort
Haltigas ĝin
Nenia fort

Sed tra la nokto tempesta
brilas jen stelo de glor'!
Kontraū brutala kri'
fontas jen kant sonor'!

Stelo brilanta, kanto sonanta:
revo kaj preĝo por ni!

Vana'diel! Vana'diel!

Mano kaj man' kunpremitaj
trans la eterno sen lim'
ne dismetiĝos plu,
ne disligiĝos plu!

Now, innocent blood flows
On the vast lands of Vana'diel
The entire world trembles
Before the plague, in despair

No luck can stop it
No force can stop it

But against the stormy night,
shines a star of glory!
Against a brutal cry,
here comes a resounding song!

A star shining, a song sounding:
A dream and a prayer for us!

Vana'diel! Vana'diel!

Hand in hand, held together
Through the endless eternity
We will no longer be torn apart,
we will no longer be separated!

いま、罪なき血が流れる
ヴァナ・ディールの大地に
全世界が戦慄する
災禍がため、絶望にのまれ

防げはしない、いかなる定めにも

とめられはしない、いかなる力にも

だが、嵐の夜を貫いて
栄光の星が輝く
獣の叫びに抗いて
歌の響きが湧きいてる

輝く星、鳴りわたる歌
われらが夢と祈りよ

ヴァナ・ディール ヴァナ・ディール

永遠を超えて
さしのべられた手と手は
もう放されることはない
もうほどけることはない

Ima, tsumi-naki chi ga nagareru
Vana-dīru no daichi ni
Zensekai ga senritsu suru
Saika ga tame, zetsubō ni nomare

Fusege wa shinai, ikanaru sadame ni mo
Tomerare wa shinai, ikanaru chikara ni mo

Daga, arashi no yoru o tsuranuite
Eikō no hoshi ga kagayaku
Kemono no sakebi ni aragaite
Uta nohibiki ga waki iteru

Kagayaku hoshi, nariwataru uta
Warera ga yume to inori

Vana-dīru, Vana-dīru

Eien o koete
Sashinoberareta te to te wa
Mō hanasareru koto wa nai
Mō hodokeru koto wa nai
