Parasite Eve Ending Theme-Somnia Memorias"Original Spanish & Latin Version"
Somnia Memorias (Spanish + Latin)
Somnia Memorias (Somnia is Latin for "dreams", Memorias is Spanish for "memoirs") is the ending theme of Parasite Eve. It is sung by Shani Rigsbee. One version combines Spanish and Latin, while the other version is in English. The former is featured in the game and the Parasite Eve Original Soundtrack; the latter is featured on Parasite Eve Remixes. The English version is not a completely accurate translation of the Spanish + Latin version.
Somnia Memorias could be interpreted as a wake up call and a warning message for humanity: the precious planet we live on provides for us and gives us life and we must respect it. If humanity doesn't change its ways and evil fills the world someday, everyone will die and we (life) will end. It could also be interpreted as Aya Brea's thoughts and feelings after the events of the game.
Oh, it feels like I've been on a long journey
Feels like I've waited all this time for that one moment
Was it God's will or was it my own will?
I swear I heard a voice telling me:
Awake... awake...
Among the waves, I can bring back memories
Beyond dreams, beyond memories,
A sacred tree calls upon me
Beyond dreams, beyond memories,
I realize I am myself
And we find each other
If all we can do is be disheartened by what is to come
And wait for this pathetic feast to end,
Our history fading away,
Then what is there left for us to expect now?
Awake... awake...
Among the waves, I can bring back memories
Somewhere among distant memories,
Something awakens inside me
Will it learn love and tenderness?
Then will all this finally end?
You were always close to me, right there by my side
I swear you have always been
You were always close to me, right there by my side
I swear you have always been
When the sin covers us with its song,
The land will suffer, suffer
You must understand
Let us not forget (Let us not forget)
We must never forget,
Heaven, land, sea, and sun are life
Let us not forget, (Let us not forget)
When the color of evil fills the land,
You'll see Dies Irae
And everything will end

Spanish
Siento que estuve en un viaje y que vengo de lejos
Tanto esperé este momento
y no sé si fue obra de Dios o fue mi voluntad
Y juro que pude escuchar como en sueños
aquella voz que me dijo: ¡Despierta!
Y sentí la fragancia de un sueño perdido
A la deriva entre olas que vienen y van
como sueños mil
puedo traer de regreso a mí
las memorias
que tengo guardadas muy dentro.
Si no hay más nada que hacer,
Solo ver la tristeza
Si no hay más nada que hacer
sino solo esperar lo que venga
y nos llegue a pasar
Tan solo esperar que termine la fiesta
y nuestra historia se vaya borrando
y nos deje sin nada poder esperar
A la deriva entre olas que vienen y van
como sueños mil
puedo traer de regreso a mí
las memorias
que tengo guardadas muy dentro.
Latin
Alicubi apud memorias longinquas
Aliquid intra me expergiscit.
Amorem indulgentiam,
maerorem dolorem cognoscebit
Omnia terminabit.
Eras semper prope me
Juro ut esses prope me
Spanish
Puedo jurar que estuviste sí,
cerca de mí.
Hay que entender y comprender
Cuando el pecado nos cubra con su canción,
La tierra sufrirá, sufrirá, sufrirá, de verdad.
Hay que entender, entender.
No olvides, no
Nunca jamás.
Que cielo y tierra,
el mar y el sol vida nos dan.
Cuando el color de la maldad
llene esta tierra
Verás el Dies Irae
y todo acabará.
English
I feel like I've been on a journey and I came far away
I've waited so long for this moment,
And I don't know if it's God's will or my own
I swear that I could hear, like in a dream,
That voice that tells me: Wake up!
And I felt the fragrance of a lost dream
Drifting among the waves
That come and go like a thousand dreams,
I can bring back to myself
The memories
That I guard deep within me
Beyond dreams, beyond memories,
There's a sacred tree bearing sweet, ripe fruit
Beyond dreams, beyond memories,
There's a sacred tree bearing sweet, ripe fruit
Ripe fruit
If there is nothing more to do
Than to only see sadness;
If there is nothing more to do
Than to wait for what is coming,
And for what will happen to us...
We waited so much for the party to end
And our history keeps on fading
And leaves us with nothing to hope for
Drifting among the waves
That come and go like a thousand dreams,
I can bring back to myself
The memories
That I guard deep within me
Somewhere in the distant memories,
Something inside me awakened
And I finally knew love, kindness,
Sadness, and pain
Does this lead everything to its end?
You were always near me,
Surely you were near me
I can swear that you were, yes,
Close to me
We have to understand and comprehend,
When Sin covers us with his song,
The Earth will suffer, suffer, suffer of truth
We must understand, understand
Do not forget, no,
Never, never,
That sky and earth,
Sea and sun give us life
When the color of evil
Fills this land,
You will see the wrath of God
And everything will end
