Description: This song is a favourite of mine-- Maaya Sakamoto is, in a word, amazing. I tried to maintain the poetic integrity of the original Japanese. It was pretty difficult, but I think I did a decent job. And here I haven't even seen a single episode of Record of Lodoss War... As far as the vocals go-- me and Sakamoto have completely different voices. I had to lower the backing track by a major third, which is quite a bit. Please bear in mind: I am in no way trying to imitate Sakamoto's style. She is a living legend, and it is not possible to do an impression justice. Translation: animelyrics.com Lyrics: The darkness moves around us Masking us within the ether Sightless now, we are searching And our voices cry out in vain But formless we find freedom Loss can be an inspiration The pain has cured my blindness I will go to the ocean that is made of tears Even though I am captive to this blood-red string Come, oh wind! I will face you now despite my fears Come, oh waves! I will surely conquer anything Why does war entice us, Beckon to us like a lover? How can we see the beauty Of a flower grown on a grave? I will seek out the future As fragile as it is precious I'll wait for you to find me I will go to the place where radiance appears There I know I will grant the prayer within my soul Come, oh wind! I will face you now despite my fears Come, oh fate! I will not let you impede my goal Come, oh love! You're the miracle for which I prayed I found joy in the bond that you and I have made Come, oh wind! I have long since ceased to be afraid Come, oh storm! Come unite us with a serenade |

| egxtra ::: Favorites 2007-12-15 11:47:56 Despite lowering the tone, you've managed to capture the spirit of the song. Beautiful vocals, great lyrics.... One of the most impressive fandubs I've ever heard, and a full version, no less! Thank you so much! __________________________________________________ | |

| Featheredhat ::: Favorites 2007-11-25 02:31:23 I love what you've done with the translation. The ones I find online lack a lot of the poetic structure and the meaning is obscure. I never know if she is singing to the wind when Maaya speaks of the love, or if it's a metaphor for freedom, or FTW. Plus, your version maintains a coherence the online version does not. Also, you make a fairly good impression in the singing. Great job, and thanks. __________________________________________________ | |

| shojogrl ::: Favorites 2007-11-21 10:26:39 "A" for effort. You did better than I could have. For a fan version it's very good. __________________________________________________ | |
| DestructoMonkey ::: Favorites 2007-11-08 01:32:29 I'd chalk it up to the equipment. This is raw and somewhat distorted, id imagine. And like the poster said, Saakamoto's voice is a lot more different so... Besides, the translation alone is amazing. __________________________________________________ | |
