Beautiful!! I loved Monkey magic! Loved all the actors, they were fantastic! This song was apt for the show and a fitting memory for Masako Natsume! Love this music!
When I was growing up, "Saiyuki" aired on one of the Japanese TV stations here in Hawaii. Unfortunately it was never subtitled and the dubbed version was never shown in the U.S., but "Gandhara" was definitely one song that grew on me. I would tune in the show just to hear the ending song!
God i love this song...the episodes was so much more then just captivating storylines, It taught us values, respect, battles, and to have faith no matter how bad situations can be, it still in instilled me after 20 years...I bloody love it!!!!
Much better then the crappy tv sitcoms they have now..Most characters are all about ego and vanity so it seems nowadays...Wish i could reverse the time..
excellent song reminds me of when i was a child watching monkey magic and brings back so many memories of those days gone past, thank you for posting.
This song is great. No room for irony or cynicism or the usual nasty YouTube comments here. Let's all be brothers and sisters, chill out and listen to Godiego. We are alive and no-one knows why anything rather than nothing exists! No-one ever!
The best song ever written ! Gandhara . The place where we all want to be. The paradise of Gandhara, with cherries, champagne, beautiful palm trees, Gold riches, beautiful women, ancient religious scriptures, bountiful fruit offerings, lovely curries and shade, misty mountain tops and of cours - GODIEGO playing beautiful music on the green lawn at Sunset ! Long live Godiego and Gandhara !

GODIEGO - We love you !!!!! You have opened up Japan to the rest of the world. I used to watch Monkey MAgic in the early 80's. This song means so much. The lyrics are so deep and meaningful. At the end of the day, we all "strive" for our own "utopia". Thank you GODIEGO. Still sounding Great !! 10/10
I love this song so much, i remember when monkey first hit the UK screens late 70's or early 80's and it ended with this track and i just thought what an amazing song it was. Still sounding amazing guys...well done.

あ、それから追記なんですけど、2番の歌詞で、a beautiful landとありますが、ガンダーラを意味するのならTheが妥当だと思います。あえて不定冠詞なのは人それぞれの理想と夢や努力を説いているのではないでしょうか。なにせ私の訳なのですが、、、
MrNagisaichigo 2 months ago
teas781さん返信ありがとうございます。おっしゃるように歌詞ではthe plase of light Gandharaとなっています。勝手に「愛と光」にしちゃいましたけど。
そっか、半角で書けば許容量も少ないですよね。うっかりしてました。
なお英語バージョンはバース、オブ、ジ、オデッセイ付きモンキーマジックと共に当時のLPレコードに収録されてます。

すいません。投稿の順で上下逆になってしまいました。
なお省略したと言ったのはサビの英語歌詞で、訳は1、2コーラスすべて下の5行に
訳してあります。文法的には忠実を規しましたが歌の詞なので多少意訳してます。
たとえばEachi man desires to reach Ganghara.皆ガンダーラに着くことをめざす、が正しいのですが、詞的な解釈を多様しました。

@MrNagisaichigo こんにちは。素敵な詩&歌ですよね。
世代が下なので、耳に残りやすいサビの部分しか知らず、また「Place of love」かと思っていましたが、「LIGHT」だったのですよね?
最近、歌詞をしっかり確認しましたが、それでやっと「しっくり来る」というか、他の歌詞も知った後に(魂と歩みの追求を真摯に持った者だけが、たどり着ける的)、「甘い歌ではない」のを知り、再度もっと「いいな」って思いました。
P.S. 英数字は、文書でもインターネットでも、半角のままで大丈夫ですよ^^ 一応、半角英数字が正式でもありましょう。

Though long ago and far beyond the winding road,always beyond
every bend,
A beautiful land still waits for the few,who make it to the very end.
懐かしいです。49歳の私が高校時代の曲。コピーしたりバンドで演奏したものです。私はピアノ、ギターとボーカルでした。が、英語バージョンがレコードの歌詞カードにも訳が無く、自分なりに訳しました。特に2番のAめろが長文で、全体もかなり難関な文章です。
日本語バージョンより、宗教的な要素を感じる詞ですね。高校時代は英語が得意で
当時の私の訳詩です。合ってると思うので(多分)ご参考までに読んでから聞いて
いただくのもいいかなと。お役にたてればいいのですが。
サビは簡単なので省略、長くなるので2回に分けて投稿させていただきました。
懐かしく、珍しいアレンジ構成の画像、ありがとうございます。

この曲がヒットしていた当時、中学生でしたが英語の授業で歌詞を覚えた記憶が懐かしく感じます。おかげで、ガンダーラに関しては日本語の歌詞よりも、こちらの英語歌詞の方がすらすらと唄えちゃいます!
