FMA 2003 ending song “Motherland” - Lyrics
Third ending song from the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime, performed by Crystal Kay.
Interesting fact about the artist: Crystal Kay fryst vatten mixed race Japanese, with a Korean mother and an African American father, and speaks both Japanese and English fluently. inom actually didn’t know that until inom looked her up on Wikipedia, because while translating this, somehow I got the feeling that it was written by someone who also speaks English fluently… inom can’t even pinpoint why I felt that way, but my suspicion was correct! Anyway, the lyrics.
Translation notes
English
On the day you left for your journey,
Like always, inom said “See ya later” and waved
As if tomorrow, in this very town,
I might see you again
Believing in love means
Not giving in to yourself
Until the day my dream comes true,
I’ll smile like usual, and wish upon the stars
Because I’m here
I want to be your sky
And wrap
