Lyrics for Ship of Fools...and such.

[Princess Kayla]

I downloaded the Tsubasa Soundtrack last night, (thank you very much for providing it, I really appreciate it) and I really like the song "Ship of Fools".  The beat is very neat especially when the voice comes in.  However, since I do not understand what is being said, I was wondering if someone could send me the lyrics.  I've tried to find them on my own, and they're probably right under my nose, but I haven't had much luck.  Could someone please help me.  I would really appreciate it.  Thanks.

there are no lyrics for the 'ship of fools', sadly 

[Princess Kayla]

Really? 

Wait...do you mean no one has written them down?

[Okamirei]

nope.I'm not even sure if the song is in japanese

[Princess Kayla]

That's what I'm not sure about either because of the way it is sung.  It's very airy...

[Alexiel]

Heh sadly no lyrics.... I don't know, I think Ship of Fools, along with the other instrumentals, shouldnt be considered as vocals at all. Just think of it of an opera0like thing. ^___^ without the loud viking woman voice. Lol

The coposer from the OST is Yuki Kajiura and sometimes she  takes her own language for her songs.
She calls it  "Yukiisch" and thats why nobody can say what the woman is singing.
This language is taken in the songs I talk to the rain and A song of storm and fire too!
But I don't know who sing these songs. In the booklet it only stands in japanese Kanji...

[Fye-chan]

YAY Now I know it!!!
The singer who sings ship of fools, you are my love, I talk to the rain and a song of storm and fire is called Itou Eri!!!

[kaori-chan]

Really? I wish I knew the words to it though, the songs sound so nice~

[White Puma]

same goes with the song "a song of storm and fire" i wanna know its lyrics but no one knows >_<

Fye-chan's right ^^ Kajiura has used this made-up language (sometimes sound to me like italian, latin and japanese mixed together ^^u) in other songs composed by her, for example, in .hack//SIGN or Xenosaga Episode II). If you take a look at the booklet of the first Tsubasa soundtrack, it only includes the lyrics for BLAZE (TV size), you are my love, tsubasa and Loop (TV size), which means there are no lyrics. The only thing you could find out there are phonetic transcriptions of them, but they can't claim to be the "official" lyrics simply because they doesn't exist.

[Emperor Shaoran]

Well, only the composer knows.

still though...i wish there were some sort of lyrics we could learn.  even if it was another language...

This reminds me of a group called Adiemus... all of their songs are made up... no real words (well, at least it wasn't intended anyway...if some real words from another language  fumbled in...) are used... just made up words that sound "pretty"... and indeed, their songs do sound pretty...

Yoko Kanno (composer for Cowboy Bebop and  Wolf's Rain) does a similar thing. Listen to "Cats on Mars" or the second half of "Wo Qui Non Coin" to see what I mean.

Comparing "ship of fools" to some .hack//SIGN songs, it sounds more like Emily Bindiger, but comparing it to songs from Tsubasa Chronicle: Future Soundscape II, it sounds like Itou Eiri. As I didn't tag the Tsubasa songs myself, wheras I got the .hack//SIGN songs from my CDs (that I purchased), I'm leaning more towards Bindiger, actually.

But I still would love to know what the lyrics are, even if they're in a made-up language, just so I could sing along (at least, phonetically).

[Fye-chan]

I love the voice from Emily...
Hmmm I thought about that phonetic transcription...and I really would like to make that...
Do you think I can...? *shy*
