General Information

Areas Played: 600 A.D.
Composed by: Yasunori Mitsuda
Original Japanese Title: 風の憧憬 / Kaze no Doukei
Time Signature: 4/4

This song was known for years as "Wind Scene". Yasunori Mitsuda clarified the true Japanese title as handed down by Masato Kato at Procyon Studio Question and Answer Forms:

On the Chrono Trigger CD, there is a song title "Kaze no Longing", but how do you pronounce it?

The kanji itself can be read as "shoukei" or "doukei", but according to Masato Kato, the creator of the song title, the correct reading is "Kaze no shoukei" (“かぜのしょうけい”). This directly translates to "longing".

Lyrics:

力に溺れ　我を失い
悪夢の果てに　何を見るの？
何を手に入れ
そこに愛はあるの？

見知らぬ地にて
彼の魔を討とうと　全てを投げる
忌み嫌われ　魔王と呼ばれ
愛はどこにあるの？

古のその力
我が身に宿りし
価値など求めもせず
ただその時を待つ


星が見る夢の中
時越えて駆ける運命、紡ぐ絆
星の夢の終わりに

届かなかった
星の嘆きは
奇蹟に近く
力あるもの　彼の元へは
力なき旅人

誰かのため
何かのために
戸惑いつつも
まだ知らない
不思議な気持ち
今日も風が靡く
