I was 15 or so when I watched this intro after the classic lodoss war ended. Then years later I found the mangas. This entire world is poetic. And so is this intro.
Maaya Sakamoto was the voice of Padmé Amidala Skywalker in the Japanese-dubbed versions of the first, second, and third episodes of "Star Wars." This song would do for a theme for Padmé as well!
Chronicles of the Heroic Knight was drastically inferior to the original Lodoss War OAV but this song still moves me to tears every time. It might be my favourite thing Yoko Kanno's ever written.
The liner notes of the Maaya album "Hotchpotch" has the official translation into English. From what I remember without checking, this is pretty close to what I remember except the last line I think has a more poetic translation.
its japanese. written and sung by maaya sakamoto for the tv show record of lodoss war, but i still prefer the OVA from lodoss war, better story, better quality better music
