Sen no Kiseki IV「Ai no Uta (愛の詩) 」English cover by ✿ham

[@09suyama83]

I am Japanese, but I was deeply moved by this English cover. From the lyrics, I felt a profound love for both "Trails in the Sky" and "Trails of Cold Steel." I was especially touched by the translation of the initial "ただ愛している" as "Dearest you, my sky, my love." Thank you for the beautiful translation.

[@SirHamnet]

@@09suyama83 thank you for listening and your kind comment!!❤️💞

[@Lin2Waterfall]

my only experience with this series was downloading the demo on my switch. never got to the actual game as I ended up elbow deep in the data section covering the words, items, and history and reading what transpired in the previous games....and damn was I annoyed in finding out that no matter what, no matter how hard these young adult fought and survived they had they happy ending ripped out from under them in the end each bloody time. Thank you for this video, for it sets my heart at ease and puts a smile on my face, knowing these young heroes finally FINALLY get to be happy and see an end to things. I am so happy to see so many happy, laughing, talking, and just enjoying their new beginning as they move forward. Thank you ham, and bless you for this.

This really sounds like a first dance song at a wedding, it's so beautiful!

You do know that the song plays in the normal ending, right? It's "Radiant Hope" in this ending (The only difference being that the normal ending has no graphic in there, as opposed to this ending

@@fierytigergaming8112 Plays in the True Ending as well, and since it's been long enough, I'll spoil it and say it's at the wedding.

[@nL-Echo]

Me and my girlfriend are both huge nerds, I'm going to have to show her this as a potential wedding song for the future! What a beautiful cover Ham, makes me want to play through the series all over again! This song hit me really hard watching the normal ending for the first time, was in my room crying at 2 AM lol!

[@SirHamnet]

oh my god!!! THANK U

[@amuroray8775]

The words were disigned very close to the orginal and works great as English song, Great work. I never like songs which keep rounding same words again and agian, but when I finished End of Saga and relisten this song. Everthing Rean had gone through in both Normal end and True end just flashed in my heads. As a player gone through all these with Rean, nobody would not like Ai no Uta. 🥲

[@chillybradley3095]

Glad I actually finished the game so now I can listen to this masterpiece

[@DMphobia]

You never seem to cease amazing me with that breathtaking voice of yours, Ham.

[@turquoisefrosts]

I finished Cold Steel IV yesterday night. I didn't want to listen to this till I'd heard the original in the game -- worth the wait; this might be my favorite Trails cover of yours!

[@codytachi]

I actually cried while listening to this. Beautiful as always, Hamnet

[@yukanguis]

Ahh I love this song, made me cry when I first heard it. Thank you for the beautiful cover

[@chakroc]

I truly have no words. Let me just simply commend you on a job WELL DONE. I truly loved the original version, and you did it justice...and IMO that was a tough job to pull off, and you did it. Thanks for putting this together.

[@jaz9684]

Thanks so much for another kiseki song! As always you sing it beautifully.

[@sajorpr645]

This is my first time listening to this in English since I stumbled upon it. As a big fan of the legend of heroes series, the lyrics to this song that you have made in English has actually made my mood from depressed to happiness and hopeful. Thank you, for making my day. You have won my respect and support. Plus now I know what to use for my wedding someday haha.

This song does a lot for me, it calms me down and just brings me to a good head space, it also gets my brain going as I'm writing a fanfic for Trails so I can picture this song for one of my pairings. Either way this is the best cover I heard and if I do one day get married, this is one of the songs I'm playing. So thank you for this song!

[@Panchito2696]

Oh. My. God. Amazing, just spectacular, words do not you justice! You truly have such a gorgeous voice! You sing just as beautiful if not better than the original song. Miss, thank you so much, you truly have touched me to my deepest soul, as I write this with tears in my eyes. I'm going through a rough patch in life, and going through the post-conclusion depression because I have finished this masterful saga a few days ago. Hearing this song and this incredibly beautiful ending was just... such a blissful and bittersweet feeling. Thank you, truly, I cant wait to listen more of your angelic singing! EDIT: I also commend you for the masterful localization job! I can only hope I can write such heartfelt and spot-on lyrics if my future life in translation grants me such an opportunity.

the moment this popped up last month i put it to watch later given i haven't finished Cold Steel 4 yet, tho after i just binged the game in the last 2 weeks I finally got the chance watch this and i have to say you nailed it. Pretty good even and personally i would say you nailed it even better then the actual Song. I broke down in tears after the first listeninig because of now knowing the exactly the meaning of this Song and how fitting it was for the Ending. Thanks you sooo much for covering this song, it blessed my day. (Also if i ever get to the point that i get married i somehow need you to sing this on the Wedding XD)

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

This song has a double meaning. SPOILERS FOR CS4'S ENDING The game has 2 endings, a "normal" ending and a "true" ending. In the normal ending, Rean dies by driving his corrupting Valimar out of the atmosphere to kill Ishmelga, thus sacrificing himself. In that ending's context, the song represents that even though a close friend and maybe loved one is now no more, losses like that and grieving are one of the inevitabilities of life, and the best thing one can do is gently move on from it, paying homage to the good memories of yore. "There are good times and bad times, let's walk through life together." In the true ending, Rean manages to kill Ishmelga in his own realm by using Millium in her sword incarnation, that he can use cause an artifact offered to him by Argnar, one of Aidios' gifts in the form of an ancient dragon, lets him break free from Ishmelga's hold. In the context of that ending, the song refers more to Olivert's and Scherazard's resolve as a couple, as well as the resolve of all the other characters, and thus the song becomes more somber than sad, giving a gentle goodbye to a 300 hour journey through Erebonia, through all the turmoil and the struggle with the bright moments shining through, all to end to this event. It's a song that reminds that even if everyone splits, so long as they keep in touch, so long as each other's spirit lingers in each other's memory and soul, such a thing as "forgetting them" is impossible. "There are good times and bad times, let's walk through life together." _No matter what the ordeals of life, we're walking through the trail of life, bonded._ Cold Steel 4 for me made these 3 years of playing Cold Steel along with Trails all the more worthwhile. Thank you to Falcom for the great moments. And for teaching me a lot of things about bonds I needed to be reminded of.

[@nekotranslates]

The Japanese -> English translation with the lyrics are different from what you're singing. Guess so it makes more sense =D Take the first 5 lines of the original (in Japanese, Romanji and English) ただ愛してる ただ愛してる Tada aishiteru tada aishiteru Just loving you, just loving you 何度でも言うよ 愛している Nando demo iu yo aishiteiru No matter how many times I will say, I love you ただ愛してる Tada aishiteru Just loving you 他に言葉を見つけられない hokani kotoba wo mitsukerarenai I can’t find other words 君を愛してる kimi wo aishiteiru I love you

[@fierytigergaming8112]

They probably changed the translation in English, that's not the first time after all ("Ao no Kiseki" would translate to "Trails To Blue", instead of "Trails To Azure", and "Hajimari No Kiseki" was renamed from "Trails Of Beginnings" to "Trails into Reverie"

[@fierytigergaming8112]

Also, this is just a cover - not the translation
