Adventure Road  -  A New Embarkment (Adventure Road  -  Arata Naru Senshutsu)
					
shiokaze o mune ni suikonde               I take a deep breath of the ocean breeze;
unabara ni fune o mogidasou               it's like diving a ship into the waves.    
kagayaki hajimeru suiheisen               On the brilliant horizon dawning, 
atarashii maku ga hiraku                  a new curtain rises.

furui kaizu ni shimesareta                Guided by the old charts,
kuusoo ga tsubasa o hiroge                fantasy, spread your wings! 
donna arashi ni mo make nai yuki o        Whatever storm that comes will not discourage 
tomo ni nanatsu no umi o kukeru           my friends from sailing the seven seas!
					  
saa! mada mishirame yume o sagashi ni     Come!  Until it's found, I'll search for my dream
hoshi ga bokura no yukute o terasu        The stars will illuminate our path.
saa! dare mo shiranai tochi o mezashite   Come! Towards an unknown land   
tabidatsu ima ga                          I'll start my journey;
bouken no toki                            Now's the time for adventure!

furusato no sora ni todoku you ni         The strong sound of my whistling
kuchibue o tsuyoku fuite miru             seems to reach my homeland's sky. 
taisetsu na nani ka o sagashite iru       Discovering something valuable 
subarashii koto ga aru hazu               must be a splendid thing!

wasuresarareta densetsu ga                Forgotten legends 
bouken no tobira o tataku                 knock on adventure's door. 
eigao de hagenmasu nakama to kibou to     Your smiling face inspires me; with my friends and my hope,
koukishin ga boku no buki sa              curiosity shall be my weapon!

saa! kokoro no oku ni shimaitonda         Come! Tucked away in the bottom of my heart
otogibanashi ga kienai uchi ni            is a fairy tale that will not die.
saa! haruka kanata no ashita no tame      Come! Because of that far-off tomorrow
tabidatsu ima ga                          I'll start my journey;
bouken no toki                            Now's the time for adventure!

saa! mada mishirame yume o sagashi ni     Come! Until it's found, I'll search for my dream
kaze ga bokura no kouro o hiraku          The wind shall clear our course.
saa! dare mo shiranai tochi o mezashite   Come! towards an unknown land
tabidatsu ima ga                          I'll start my journey; 
bouken no toki                            Now's the time for adventure!
  
Liner Notes from Lunar Songs 1:
Hiro has been separated from Lucia and is going off to reunite with her!  
With determination, he boards the Valgan [Destiny] and seizes the controls...
This is, for the hero (and for ourselves), a very encouraging and inspiring 
song.  Kubooka-san's characters are so expressive, it's so easy to create 
songs for them.  I really do deeply admire him.

Translation Notes:
"Saa" is used as a generic Japanese exclamation, meaning everything from 
"Hey!" to "Look!" to "Oh!" to "Come!".  Considering the context, I went with
the last meaning.

I've tried to be faithful to the song's original "line scheme" in my English
translation, but there were two cases where that proved impossible. The
translations of lines 14 and 15 had to be transposed because of the nature
of Japanese syntax; otherwise, it would have sounded extremely awkward.  
Likewise, I moved the translation of "ima ga" in the refrain to the line 
below; leaving an orphan "now" on the preceding line just didn't sit well 
with me.

My translation of lines 9 and 10 (and 27 and 28) isn't exactly literal; the
"real" lyric is "the stars will illuminate our course on my search for my
dream until it's found".  But, again, awkward.
