Final Fantasy: Dear Friends


My Home, Sweet Home (in English and Saami)

[Celes]MIDI

[Note: A few letters in this song have haceks, diacritical marks that change 's' into 'sh' and 'c' into 'ch'. ð is an eth, pronounced like the 'th' in 'father'.]

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.

Boaðe ruoktot alot go dan dovtat tuskiYou can come home in times of harshness.
Boaðe ruoktot alot go dan dovtat vaivuiYou may come home in times of sorrow, too.
Du ruoktu vuordà du alotYour home will be waiting for you forever
Du ruoktu vuordà du alotIt will be waiting for you forever.

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?

Bearaš, ushbatFamily, friends,
Ruoktu, muitutHome and memories.
Dat ca goassigeNo one will ever
Vajaldahtc duForget about you.

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.

Meahcci, čàcit,Forest, stream,
Albmi, eana:Sky and earth:
Dat buot vurdet duEveryone is waiting,
Dat buot vurdet duWaiting for your return.

Gii boaðašii ja vuolgašii
Loktešii dàn dovddu,
Deavdašii dan unna doaivvu
Eana mojoda
Nu jaskaðit, nu leggaðit

Leago dat roahkatvuohta,
Jos bargan dan
Dahje, jos in bargga haidige
Dolla buoldaša mu muoðuit
Almni iudne ruoksadin...

Mun muitan savgaldusadit,
Ivnnit leat mu mielas.
Dovdduit maid donddan,
Dat leat go čàhci...
Gos dat bohte?
Gosa bahtaredje?

Mii lea duoddariigguin,
Mii lea mieras?
Dan hàlivččen diehtit
Muitašan,
Bissànan jurdagiidda,
Divdan biegga muitalit,
Muitalit eadalagan màilbmis

Gidda mu čalbmii, lihkà oaidan čouvgga
Govča mu beljiit, lihkà gulan sàniit

Duoivvu guoikànasat ràbket eatnama,
Roahkatvuoðas dola čuovga,
Ustitvuohta, ohccà eallima čàzi
Nu allin gos biegga.
