Special music time. Another of the things that I loved about Final Fantasy, its international touches. With these songs, they manage to get very emotional while also using language to show how humanity is universal.

The second language here is Saami, and indigenous language from northern Scandinavia.

Here’s the lyrics, taken from the FF wiki:

So far away from my home, sweet home
Day by day, from land to land I roam.
Though told by the wind, which way to go.
Oh how I long for my home, sweet home.

Boađe ruoktot álo go
don dovddat duski
Boađe ruoktot álo go
don dovddat váivvi
du ruoktu vuordádu álo
du ruoktu vuordádu álo

Fragrant blossoms, blooming far away
Do my folks see them as I did long ago?
Are they still joyful, are they young at heart?
Will I see them again as I did that day…

(sung simultaneously with 2nd English stanza)
Bearaš, ustibat, ruoktu
muittut
dat eai goassige
vajaldahte du

How far I’ve come from my childhood home…
There will come a time when my troubles are gone
And when I shall not be all alone.
Till then, I dream of my home, sweet home.

(sung simultaneously with 3rd English stanza)
Meahcci, čázit, albmi
eana
dat buot vurdet du
dat buot vurdet du
