Legend of Mana - Song of Mana (AKA A Nostalgic Song)

[@ariefbudiman1544]

Whoever know this song and ever played the game are in his/her 30s.. time flies so fast

[@stevens1041]

😬 guilty here. Its okay, that is life, don't dwell on it too much.

[@ivancalvo7153]

Played this game like 15th times and never get tired

[@zerankite]

Almost in 40s, so yea nostalgia for all the old games i can remember coming up. Use to had a vhs of games i beat. Wish i had them still now lol

[@OtakuKokiri]

I've played a little bit of it and I plan to play through the rest of it soon. And I'm 19. I respect the art that is the games of days past. Also I discovered this game through the anime. I heard of the mana series before but never really gave it a try until then. I'm also extremely hyped for Visions of Mana

[@rafaelogenio819]

This is the most beautiful song in the history of gaming. Its a master piece. Listening in 2024 and forever while I live!

[@Johan87577]

it still blows my mind finding a song of my native language in a Japanese game. Such a great song.

[@ariefbudiman1544]

nice language you got there

[@lumpchunker5516]

Which language is this song written in? My friends and I sang it at an anime karaoke night back in 2002. There were no lyrics available online at the time, so I wrote them out as best I could phonetically for us to sing. I'm sure we butchered EVERY word, but we loved the song so much, we couldn't resist singing it! ("Free-fondoo for flute-nah" is one of the lines I remember writing... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️)

[@Lunareon]

After all these years, they made a Legend of Mana anime. I had to come listen to this after hearing the Japanese version as the ending theme.

[@Manas-co8wl]

They did?? When?? I have to watch it

[@pacifistattack]

This is worth a Crunchyroll subscription.

[@Maxz_Singh]

Beautiful game and warm memories in the springtime of life. Maybe back around 2001, me and my friend playing it on PSone.

Yoko Shimomura and Square Soft Teams (now Square Enix) are legends. Thank you for bringing this magically fun game to my life. Thanks to you too uploader, what a chad.

[@WhoTouchedMyReindeer]

Took me a while to realize that this was Swedish when I first heard it, one summer in the early 00's. I feel a little foolish for actually being nostalgic for it now.

[@kingeternal_ap]

Wasn’t it a finnish singer?

[@WhoTouchedMyReindeer]

@@kingeternal_apHer name is Annika Ljungberg, and she's a Swedish singer from the group Rednex. Yoko Shimimura apparently heard her music on an episode of Baywatch.

[@justincaldwell8703]

I feel this song/video should have at least one bazillion views, this song always blows my mind!

[@ThaikLuin]

I think many of us Swede's misstakes this for japanese at first. Im lightly hearing impaired so I'm used since childhood just to listen to the music/lyrics and imagine what they actually sing if I can't really hear some words and then just sing it the wrong way the way until I learn the real text. So as I heard the second vers and then the third I just felt like an idiot when I started to sing along in swedish; but it actually was the right lyric I was singing! Happy surprise that its swedish =)

[@stevens1041]

I'm Italian speaker and I thought it was Chinese when I first heard it, as a child. Whoops.

[@ApertureAce]

This is probably the happiest song I've ever heard. A real treat to listen to! I've never even played Legend of Mana

[@shadowedge1]

you should! its a fun game and doesn't require a ton of skill, just a little patience and a little creativity

[@pharffe]

아니야 그냥 kanno yoko의 음악이 좋을수도 있어 나처럼 나는 비공정을 타 본적이 없지만 이 음악을 듣다보면 비공정을 타고 인도양을 건너는 느낌이 들어 인종이 다르고 언어가 달라도 우리가 느끼는 이 벅찬 감동이 거짓일까? 속는 느낌인걸까? 나는 이것이야말로 음악이 주는 거침없는 힘이라고 생각해

[@niklaslehikoinen1936]

Swedish cadence that makes it have a happy sound. Lyrics-wise it's not particularily sad or happy.

[@ApertureAce]

​@@shadowedge1 it doesn't seem like my kind of game, but just for you, I'll give it a go once I get the chance

[@mrdev945]

This is indeed nostalgic now. I'm still coming back to this song from time to time.

[@keanesn.1513]

Legend of Mana memories never forgotten...

[@DahliaFortescue]

This is one of the best songs in all the videogames I ever played ;_; I love it.

[@Qella]

the best game song ever, very nostalgic

[@jdbarraz]

Min längtan ej nån diamant, bara en liten kristall, ett sandkorn i öknen, en droppe i havet. ...Men med högmod, kommer jag!

[@ElPerpuli]

In the moment i put the CD and hear these song i say to myself myself these gonna be the best game on years and you know what still is one of the best games and have how much? 10 years?

[@Charonchan]

Oh geez I haven't listened to this song in years! Thank you.

[@pentagon1802]

I’m waiting for the future where we can immerse ourselves as a real character with full senses as in virtual MMO. When that day come when you can casually talk to the NPC like real people and cast fire magic to the monsters and hang out with friends for adventure. I’m waiting for the technology to make this Legend of Mana to be as life-like experience. Till that day come please give this comment a like so that I can feel at ease that my childhood and manhood dream have finally come true. 😊

[@jadetaylor6093]

I heard, A nostalgic song, Somewhere far away. It touched me deeply in my heart, A young force, Spoke about the song of life. I am born of you, And I came back, Enclosed in a song, Both kind and cruel. My life took a turn, I am born again. Hurry, to get to be next to you Again and again, I long for you After you I hurry To get to be next to you Again and again, I long for you My longing is no diamond (Just a tiny crystal) A grain of sand in the desert, A drop of water in the ocean, But with haughtiness I come Seasons come and go And I follow in their wake All I want is to sleep, Embraced by your song All I want is to wait, Bundled up in a dream I follow my longing to you Sat riding on a wind Echoes of your song travelling far Thrown by waves, I surge toward you Young energy (a nostalgic song) our smile I keep deep in my heart And I continue my journey Time is running out--I must hurry I thought I was free Free from the past But memories full of nuances Flourish deep in me At last I reach you Hear my truth and see my dream My beautiful dream Seasons come and go And I follow in their wake I thought I was free Free from the past But memories full of nuances Flourish deep in me At last I reach you

Hard to believe it’s the chick from Rednex 😂 what a banger!!!

[@callme_Sweetpea]

Not at all actually. She expresses the exact same singing abilities on those Rednex songs as well. Listen to Wish You Were Here by Rednex, and you'll understand.

[@UnamedKing]

Love this song :D Learned it by heart.. even if I don't know Swedish. I had a copy of the translations to. This was the first time I heard the Swedish :D Sounds like a beautiful language ^^

Underrated game and soundtracks

[@Xinuser]

@zeptinune Man, when I first listened to it, I assumed it would be in Japanese. So I had no idea what she was singing. Then after I listened to it again I was.. Hey wait a minute.. This is Swedish!? xD Why Swedish? ( I'm swedish )

i liked some of the expressions, the monsters made everytime you struck them. and how they exploded into crystals..
