The following translations were done by Jon Luse and Roy Bruce, and appeared in the Japanese Animation Network's Super Dimension Century Orguss Memory Album in 1990. Keep in mind, when you're reading the lyrics below, you may have to experiment a few times to match the words to the music, but it can be done.
The opening song, "Drifting -- Sky Hurricane"
"In the pale darkness, Time flows along, Amidst my disturbed slumber; In the distance I lost your smile, As I set out on a spiritquest... "Where are you going? When are you coming home? Look for a joyful bright future, wo-wo-wo! Where are you going? When are you coming home? Overcoming the passage of time, Galloping through the endless sky, Let's create a new world with songs of love! "When we trace back memories, Reflected by the light of space, We see sparkles, and sighs of you, In the distance across lapsing times, Now's the time to set out on our journey... "Where are you going? When are you coming home? Look for a joyful bright future, wo-wo-wo! Where are you going? When are you coming home? Overcoming the passage of time, Galloping through the endless sky, Let's create a new world with songs of love! "The flames of life are burning out, In this changing world, Let's all open up our hearts' doors, And let the passionate voices of our songs resound! "Where are you going? When are you coming home? Look for a joyful bright future, wo-wo-wo! Where are you going? When are you coming home? Overcoming the passage of time, Galloping through the endless sky, Let's create a new world with songs of love!"
The closing song, "I Am A Gypsy"
"'I am a Gypsy' in the dark night's sky, Shone by burning flames, I saw tomorrow in you; In your eyes that dance the whole night through... "Tears are for yesterday, Hey! Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! Love is for tomorrow, Hey! Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! "Your shadow lured into wandering, By the sweet night wind, Burns a flame reflecting The ghost of your lost love... "Lai, lai la lai, la lai lai lai lai, Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! Lai, lai la lai, la lai lai lai lai, Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! "'I am a Gypsy' kiss me if you're stunned By the color of my eyes; That sparkle wildly in the night's darkness, Then you're a Gypsy too! "Tears are for yesterday, Hey! Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! Love is for tomorrow, Hey! Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! Forget even dreaming, In your deep and lone sleep, Have our singing voices touched? Our hearts are Gypsies! "Tears are for yesterday, Hey! Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! Love is for tomorrow, Hey! Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! "Lai, lai la lai, la lai lai lai lai, Oooh, oooh, Gypsy! Lai, lai la lai, la lai lai lai lai, Oooh, oooh, Gypsy!"
