| Sayuri Sugawara |
"Kimi Ga Iru Kara" mengalun saat Ending Cutscene FF XIII untuk versi bahasa Jepang. Kedua lagu terdapat di dalam Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack (FF XIII OST) tapi sayangnya untuk "Eternal Love" hanya ditampilkan versi pendeknya saja dan untuk "Kimi Ga Iru Kara" menampilkan versi yang agak sedikit panjang di bagian Intro. Versi full dan asli "Eternal Love" dan "Kimi Ga Iru Kara" bisa ditemukan dalam album single Sayuri Sugawara berjudul Kimi Ga Iru Kara.

Japanese Lyrics:
あなたとの愛が このままずっ と続きますように
Anata to no ai ga kono mama zutto tsuzukimasu you ni
夜空に願うの この手は まだ 離せない
Yozora ni negau no kono te wa mada hanasenai
何気ない日 々繰り返してた 何も怖くなかった
Nanigenai hibi kurikaeshiteta nanimo kowaku nakatta
二人で明日を迎えられる事が 当たり前だったね
Futari de ashita wo mukaerareru koto ga atarimae datta ne
強い瞳に守られている この時が止まればいいのに
Tsuyoi hitomi ni mamorareteiru kono toki ga tomareba ii no ni
沢山の光に照らされた横顔 見ていたい
Takusan no hikari ni terasareta yokogao miteitai
あなたとの愛が 永遠であるように
Anata to no ai ga eien de aru you ni
夜空に願うの この手は まだ 離せない
Yozora ni negau no kono te wa mada hanasenai
どうしても甘えてしまう もっと大人になりたいのに
Doushite mo amaete shimau motto otona ni naritai no ni
愚痴とか弱音を吐けるのは あなたしかいないから
Guchi toka yowane wo hakeru no wa anata shika inai kara
初めてキスをした あの時の甘い味を覚えているよ
Hajimete kisu wo shita ano toki no amai aji wo oboete iru yo
今思えば 幸せすぎたのかもね
Ima omoeba shiawase sugita no kamo ne
頬を流れる涙に気づかれないように うつむいていたの
Hoho wo nagareru namida ni kizukarenai you ni utsumuite ita no
「愛してる」あなたの言葉が微かに震えてた
「Aishiteru」anata no kotoba ga kasuka ni furueteta
あなたとの愛を 失いたくないから
Anata to no ai wo ushinaitakunai kara
夜空に誓うの この手は もう 離さない
Yozora ni chikau no kono te wa mou hanasanai
-Instrumental-
あなたとの愛が 永遠であるように
Anata to no ai ga eien de aru you ni
夜空に願うの この手は まだ 離せない
Yozora ni negau no kono te wa mada hanasenai
あなたとの愛を 失いたくないから
Anata to no ai wo ushinaitakunai kara
夜空に誓うの この手は もう 離さない
Yozora ni chikau no kono te wa mou hanasanai
English Translations:
So that my love with you would always continue this way
I pray to the night sky, these hands cannot part
Those casual days were repeating, unafraid of anything
Being able to welcome tomorrow together was something natural, right?
Being protected by strong eyes, it would have been great if time could stop now
I want to see the face illuminated by lots of lights
So that my love with you would be forever
These hands which ask that of the night skies, still could not part
No matter what I do, I still take you for granted and I wanted to grow up
Because no one else can complain or grumble apart from you
The first time we kissed; I still remember the sweet taste of that moment
If I think about it now, I was probably too blessed
So that you would not notice the tears flowing on my cheek, I hung my head low
"I love you" Your words quavered slightly
Because I don't want to part with my love with you
I swear to the night sky, that these hands, could not part again
-Instrumental-
In order that my love with you would be forever
I swear to the night sky, that these hands, would not part again
Because I don't want to part with my love with you
I swear to the night sky, that these hands, would not part again

Japanese Lyrics:
「泣いたっていいんだよ」 君がふいにそう言ってくれたから
"Naitatte iin da yo" kimi ga fui ni sou ittekureta kara
何だか嬉しくて 涙じゃなく 笑顔が零れた
Nanda ka ureshikute namida ja naku egao ga koboreta
不器用すぎる言葉で 君を傷つけてしまった
Bukiyou sugiru kotoba de kimi wo kizutsukete shimatta
それでも 離れたりしないで
Soredemo hanaretari shinai de
今もこうして 支えになってくれてるんだ きっと...
Ima mo kou shite sasae ni natte kureterun da kitto...
叶えたい願い 叶えたい夢 届けたい想い 全て
Kanaetai negai kanaetai yume todoketai omoi subete
信じ続ける事が奇跡を呼んで 未来に繋がって行くよ
Shinji tsuzukeru koto ga kiseki wo yonde mirai ni tsunagatte yuku yo
ずっと ねぇ ずっと 見守っていて欲しい
Zutto ne zutto mimamotteite hoshii

新しい扉を開く それは誰でも怖くて不安だらけだけど
Atarashii tobira wo hiraku sore wa daredemo kowakute fuan darake dakedo
背中を押してくれた 君を思い出せば
Senaka o oshitekureta kimi wo omoidaseba chikara ga afuretekuru kara ne
力が溢れてくるからね 素直な気持ち 譲れないもの 正直な言葉 全て

Dear My Friend
English Translations:
You suddenly said, "You can cry if you want"
Somehow it made me happy, instead of tears I smiled
My words so clumsy, they hurt you
But I don't want you to leave me
I want you to stay beside me always...
Wishes and dreams I want to come true, the feelings I wish I could tell you
A miracle created from the things I've always believed is connected to the future
Always, always I want you to watch over me
Dear My Friend
You said, on leaving "You'll be able to do it"
The loneliness I felt was wiped clean with those words
I'm opening a new door, anyone would be frightened
All I had to do was remember you and the strength flowed through me
I won't give up my feelings
If I can make voice to all these words
Then the future will open up wide
Because forever you are in my heart
Dear My Friend
-Instrumental-
I vow that no matter if I stop, or if I forget
I will keep moving forward
Light is shining down, when I look up at the sky
Until the day when I can see you again
I won't give up my feelings if I can make voice to all these words
Then the future will open up wide
Wishes, the dreams I want to come true, the feelings I wish I could tell you
A miracle created from the things I've always believed is connected to the future
Always, always I want you to watch over me

* My Hands
English Lyrics:
I wake in the morning, tired of sleeping
Get in the shower and make my bed alone
I put on my makeup, talking to the mirror
Ready for a new day without you
And I walk steady on my feet
I talk, my voice obeys me
I go out at night, sleep without the lights
And I do all of the things I have to
Keepin' you off my mind
But when I think I'll be alright
I am always wrong 'cause
(My hands) Don't wanna start again
(My hands) No, they don't wanna understand
(My hands) They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
(My hands) They only agree to hold
(Your hands) And they don't wanna be without
(Your hands) And they will not let me go
No, they will not let me go
I talk about you now and go a day without crying
I go out with my friends now, I stay home late alone
And I don't see you everywhere, and I can say your name easily
I laugh a little louder without you
And I see different shades now (And I)
I'm almost never afraid now
But when I think I'll be okay
I am always wrong 'cause
(My hands) Don't wanna start again
(My hands) No, they don't wanna understand
(My hands) They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
(My hands) They only agree to hold
(Your hands) No, they don't wanna be without
(Your hands) And they will not let me go
No, they will not let me go
Sometimes I wake, I see them reaching out for you
Quietly breakin' whatever shields I spent so long building up
I cannot fake, 'cause when they cry I'm unspoken
They miss holding my baby
My hands
No, they don't wanna understand
They just shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
(My hands)
(Your hands)
They don't wanna be without
(Your hands) And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go
(My hands) Don't wanna start again
(My hands) No, they don't wanna understand (No, yeah)
(My hands) Shake and try to break whatever peace I may find
(My hands) Only agree to hold
(Your hands) No, they don't wanna be without (They don't wanna be without)
(Your hands) And they will not let me go
No, they will not let me go
No, they will not let me go

English Translations:
Sometimes I think
What would I say if you were here?
But I find that the words are not here
As the tears gather on my cheeks and fall to my chest
I would embrace you if we met once again
Hoping you would never leave
Our reunion would forge a powerful bond
Acting as a beacon of hope
Surely
Somehow my love will take me
To the promised place
Bringing me to the eternity that I desire
Love will be gathered in my arms
And if we reunited I would hold you
Do not be afraid of the world to come
The answers can be seen in my eyes
As long as you stay close to me
Gently my heart is calling out
As I wait for your love
All the while I thought we'd fine so far apart
But these feelings I have for you are never-changing
Now I see that nothing can scare me
No matter how dark
Because this beacon will continue shine
And under its guidance you will returns
Surely
Somehow my love will take me
To the promised place
And I swear to be there for all eternity
Love will be gathered in my arms
And if we reunited I would hold you
Break through your pain and smile
With this light you will never be lost
And you will get there without fail
-Instrumental-
Time will heal all wounds
As long as you are patient
And now I begin to set off
The wind is pointing to that place
Waiting for tomorrow surely
Somehow my love will take me
To the promised place
And with a simple nod
I await the day where I embrace you
Somehow my love will take me
To the promised place
Bringing me to the eternity I desire
Love will be gathered in my arms
And if we reunited I would hold you
Do not be afraid of the world to come
The answers can be seen in my eyes
As long as you stay close to me
* New World
English Lyrics:
Staring the stars, feeling the winds everytime
I cannot stop thinkin' of you
Since you've been gone away from here
Shedding the tears crying out loud for once
'Cause you are such a precious part of me
And there's no one who'll fill my broken heart
Oh, but now I have realized
The reason why I live in this world
Even you have left me here alone
I found a way where I can get hope for the future
Baby, I'm gonna see the new world
With nothin' but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I'm gonna go to the new world
With nothin' but the strength you gave me
There's nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where I should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for me
I don't wanna give up my home
Having a dream, basking in the sun everyday
I'm startin' to think that I'm still here
Though the pain of loss still hurts me
Makin' me smile, makin' me laugh many times
Everything is gentle to me because you're makin' it so
And now I have realized
The reason why I live in this world
It's not to lose what I truly need
I will make sure we feel the beautiful days together
Baby, I'm gonna see the new world
With nothin' but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I'm gonna go to the new world
With nothin' but the strength you gave me
There's nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where I should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for me
I don't wanna give up my home
-Instrumental-
Pray for all of the things in this world
And believe in the power of our love
Sing a song of tomorrow
Now we are not alone, we come to life again
A new day will come to you
For you and me
Baby, I'm gonna see the new world
With nothin' but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I'm gonna go to the new world
With nothin' but the strength you gave me
There's nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where we should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for us
I don't wanna give up my home
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ohh yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-oooh-oh-ohh
Staring the stars, feeling the winds everytime
I cannot stop thinkin' of you
Since you've been gone away from here
Shedding the tears crying out loud for once
'Cause you are such a precious part of me
And there's no one who'll fill my broken heart
Oh, but now I have realized
The reason why I live in this world
Even you have left me here alone
I found a way where I can get hope for the future
Baby, I'm gonna see the new world
With nothin' but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I'm gonna go to the new world
With nothin' but the strength you gave me
There's nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where I should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for me
I don't wanna give up my home
Having a dream, basking in the sun everyday
I'm startin' to think that I'm still here
Though the pain of loss still hurts me
Makin' me smile, makin' me laugh many times
Everything is gentle to me because you're makin' it so
And now I have realized
The reason why I live in this world
It's not to lose what I truly need
I will make sure we feel the beautiful days together
Baby, I'm gonna see the new world
With nothin' but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I'm gonna go to the new world
With nothin' but the strength you gave me
There's nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where I should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for me
I don't wanna give up my home
-Instrumental-
Pray for all of the things in this world
And believe in the power of our love
Sing a song of tomorrow
Now we are not alone, we come to life again
A new day will come to you
For you and me
Baby, I'm gonna see the new world
With nothin' but the love you gave me
Only thing I can do is to trust the time we shared
Baby, I'm gonna go to the new world
With nothin' but the strength you gave me
There's nothing to be afraid of
I know your love will lead me where we should be
Even if it is dark and hard times for us
I don't wanna give up my home
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ohh yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-oooh-oh-ohh
Final Fantasy XIV
FFXIV adalah game kedua dari seri FF yang bertipe MMORPG setelah FFXI. FF XIV pertama kali dirilis pada tahun 2010 tetapi kemudian dirilis ulang dengan perombakan dan perbaikan disana-sini di bawah judul baru yaitu Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn pada tahun 2013. Hal ini terjadi sebab FF XIV yang diluncurkan pada tahun 2010 mendapatkan respon buruk dari berbagai media dan kritikus game.

English Lyrics[1]:
I close my eyes, tell us why must we suffer
Release your hands, for your will drags us under
My legs grow tired, tell us where must we wander
How can we carry on if redemption's beyond us?
To all of my children in whom Life flows abundant
To all of my children to whom Death hath passed his judgement
The soul yearns for honor, and the flesh the hereafter
Look to those who walked before to lead those who walk after
Shining is the Land's light of justice
Ever flows the Land's well of purpose
Walk free, walk free, walk free, believe...
The Land is alive, so believe...

Now open your eyes while our plight is repeated
Still deaf to our cries, lost in hope we lie defeated
Our souls have been torn, and our bodies forsaken
Bearing sins of the past, for our future is taken
War born of strife, these trials persuade us not
(Feel what? Learn what?)
Words without sound, these lies betray our thoughts
Mired by a plague of doubt, the Land, she mourns
(See what? Hear what?)
Judgement binds all we hold to a memory of scorn
Tell us why, given Life, we are meant to die, helpless in our cries?

English Lyrics[2]:
Children of the Land, do you hear?
Echoes of truths that once rang clear
Two souls intertwined
One true love they did find
Bringing Land and Heavens near
But flames that burn full bright, soon fell dark
Memories dimmed by shadowed hearts
In the waxing gloom did wane the lover's moon
Watching as their worlds drift apart
One soul's cry
A passion dwelling within
Sacrifice, a final plea to her kin
Yet this bond of hope, by treachery was broke
Scattering her words to the wind
-Instrumental 1-
Swelling over long, seas of blood, are a song
And death an afterthought
To those who fight for naught
A throne, lying empty
A reign, incomplete
Alone, for eternity
A pain, without cease
-Instrumental 2-
Children of the Land, answer this
Why must you turn to empty bliss?
Tell me why break trust, why turn the past to dust?
Seeking solace in the abyss
Tell me why create, a circle none can break
Why must you let go, the life you were bestowed?
This I fear I'll never know
Never know...
Children of the Land, do you hear?
Echoes of truths that once rang clear
Two souls intertwined
One true love they did find

But flames that burn full bright, soon fell dark
Memories dimmed by shadowed hearts

Watching as their worlds drift apart
One soul's cry
A passion dwelling within
Sacrifice, a final plea to her kin
Yet this bond of hope, by treachery was broke
Scattering her words to the wind

Swelling over long, seas of blood, are a song
And death an afterthought

Never know...
Update: "Dragonsong" masuk ke dalam album musik FF XIV: Heavensward yang bernama Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward -EP- Vol. 1 yang menempati urutan lagu ke-6 kemudian ada di dalam album penuh FF XIV: Heavensward berjudul Heavensward: Final Fantasy XIV Original Soundtrack yang menempati urutan lagu ke-55.
Update (7 Juni 2017): Apabila penulis masih ingat, setelah Heavensward, expansion berjudul Stormblood: Final Fantasy XIV akan dilempar ke publik bulan Agustus nanti... Ternyata di Google pun sudah bertebaran berita nama Theme Song sekaligus Main Theme untuk ini, wajar penulis kaget setelah sekian lama berkutat dengan tumpukan kerjaan serta tenggat waktu dimana boro-boro dapat mengecek berita terbaru FF di waktu senggang. Ayo, untuk yang rajin mencari berita FF dalam keadaan apapun, apakah tahu namanya? Tidak?! Sayang sekali... Penulis beritahu nih namanya adalah "Revolutions"!
Uematsu-san kembali menjadi komposer begitu pun Susan Calloway dan Michael-Christopher Koji Fox dimana untuk lagu ini dia berpasangan dengan Banri Oda untuk menulis lirik. Seperti pendahulunya, Square-Enix meluncurkan video istimewa "Revolutions" yang dapat dilihat sekarang oleh publik lewat akun YouTube resmi FF XIV. Berhati-hatilah dengan semua cuplikan yang rupanya masuk kategori spoiler untuk jalan cerita Stormblood saat melihat videonya. Silakan dilihat dan manjakan telinga kalian untuk sebuah komposisi indah oleh Uematsu-san yang termahsyur!
Final Fantasy XV
2016 adalah tahun perilisan FF XV. Square-Enix sedang mati-matian mendorong penjualan game yang 10 tahun ditunggu-tunggu supaya penantian panjang tidak berbuah sia-sia dan penggemar nantinya senang. Salah satu cara adalah merilis album Songs of Final Fantasy XV pada tanggal 12 Agustus 2016 yang di dalamnya terdapat Theme Song untuk dipakai dalam game-nya. Lagu tema berbentuk vokal ini telah diperdengarkan versi singkatnya kepada publik sebagai BGM trailer "Reclaim Your Throne" & "Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV" saat event khusus Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV 30 Maret 2016 di Los Angeles, Amerika Serikat.
Sehari setelah tanggal rilis album itu, penulis akan membagikannya disini untuk mendengar bersama-sama "Stand by Me" versi panjang yang dibawakan oleh grup band rock Florence + the Machine (nama formal: Florence and the Machine) asal Inggris. Pemimpin vokal dan pemain perkusi dari grup tersebut adalah Florence Welch. Dengar video audio satu ini:

English Lyrics[3]:
Sing a song of dawn
Dawn-- the day reborn
Breathe deep of the dawn before the storm
-Short break-
This hearth, this home
Wrested forth from tired fingers
Bathed in blood and sealed in stone
Souls scarred...
Twelvefold...
Beckoned by the bells of vengeance, spirits bold
A lover lost, a family torn
A solemn pyre raised to rouse the slumb'ring heavens
Fire in your eyes, fire in your hearts!
Steeled as you sound the horns of war!
Yet know the cost
For who shall mourn
When light is quenched that another might burn brighter?
Let not the rays of justice blind
Entrust in grace and She shall guide!
Soft is the breeze that can set a petal free
And yet 'tis the storm that doth see the petal soar
High are the trees in the groves of liberty
'Til unstirring skies consign her to memory
One kingdom's fall is another kingdom's freedom
One sovereign's war is another sovereign's peace
One mother's pride is another mother's sorrow
Their tears both soak the land that they love
-Short break 2-
Two lives, two swords...
Give an end to shadowed whispers: wicked words
Pray tell me who doth louder call?
A rival's pride or the oaths that spur her onward?
Your time is come, a choice bestown: Tonight for unsung sins atone!
This night you need not walk alone!

| Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine |
Sehari setelah tanggal rilis album itu, penulis akan membagikannya disini untuk mendengar bersama-sama "Stand by Me" versi panjang yang dibawakan oleh grup band rock Florence + the Machine (nama formal: Florence and the Machine) asal Inggris. Pemimpin vokal dan pemain perkusi dari grup tersebut adalah Florence Welch. Dengar video audio satu ini:
English Lyrics:
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
-Instrumental-
And darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand...
Stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me
Stand by me
"Stand by Me" bukanlah lagu asli Florence + the Machine, kawan-kawan. Mereka hanya mengkover, lagu ini adalah lagu lama dari tahun 1961 yang dibawa terkenal ke seluruh dunia oleh penyanyi legenda R&B dan soul, almarhum Ben E. King. Wah, zaman penulis belum lahir atau beberapa dari kalian juga? Coba saja tanyakan penyanyinya dan lagu pernah hits hingga ditetapkan legenda sepanjang masa ini pada kakek, nenek, paman, bibi, atau orang tua yang pernah hidup di tahun 1960-an atau awal 1970-an. Apa mereka tahu?
 |
| Ben E. King |
Tercatat, penyanyi seperti John Lennon, Mickey Gilley, Maurice White, dan Prince Royce pernah mengkover "Stand by Me" dan dimasukkan ke dalam album mereka seperti Rock 'n' Roll, Urban Cowboy, dan Prince Royce. Nah kalau nama-nama seperti Lennon, Gilley, dan White untuk yang lahir tahun pertengahan 1970-an dan 1980-an pasti kenal dan pernah dengar (walau sedikit lupa-lupa ingat) "Stand by Me" dibawakan oleh mereka dong?
"Stand by Me" menjadi satu dari dua lagu tema vokal yang tidak ditulis atau diciptakan secara khusus untuk FF, satu lagu lagi adalah Leona Lewis "My Hands". Akan tetapi, "Stand by Me" dapat aransemen khusus supaya pas dengan mood karakter dan musik FF XV, buktinya adalah memasukkan alunan "Prelude" yang bisa terdengar di dalam lagunya. Sebaliknya Lewis sudah terlebih dahulu merekam "My Hands" untuk album keduanya yaitu Echo tertanggal September 2009, barulah di bulan November 2009 (satu bulan sebelum FF XIII Jepang rilis) SE menemui Lewis untuk meminta izin menggunakan "My Hands" sebagai Theme Song FF XIII Internasional.
Seperti dilansir dari situs Nova Crystallis, "Stand by Me" merupakan ekspresi terima kasih Noctis di dalam hati yang sulit diungkapkan ke dalam kata-kata langsung kepada ketiga sahabatnya (Ignis, Gladiolus, serta Prompto) dan terutama sang Ayah, Raja Regis.
Oke, penulis kasih dengar "Stand by Me" Ben E. King disini, silakan tinggal klik:
