Lyrics with translation:

Kimi no te de kirisaite Tooi hi no kioku wo
Kanashimi no iki no ne wo tometekure yo
Saa Ai ni kogareta mune wo tsuranuke

Asu ga kuru hazu no sora wo mite Mayou bakari no kokoro moteamashiteru
Katawara no tori ga habataita Doko ka hikari wo mitsukerareta no ka na

Naa Omae no se ni ore mo nosetekurenai ka?
Soshite ichiban takai toko de okizari ni shite yasashisa kara toozakete

Kimi no te de kirisaite Tooi hi no kioku wo
Kanashimi no iki no ne wo tometekure yo
Saa Ai ni kogareta mune wo tsuranuke

Tori wo yuuyami ni miokutta Chi wo hau bakari no ore wo kaze ga nazeru
Hane ga hoshii to wa iwanai sa Semete chuu ni mau MELISSA no ha ni naritai

Mou Zuibun to tachitsukushite mita kedo
Tabun kotae wa nai no darou
Kono kaze ni mo iku ate nado nai you ni

Kimi no te de kagi wo kakete Tamerai nado nai daro
Machigatte mo Nidoto aku koto no nai you ni
Saa Jou no ochiru oto de owarasete

Sukui no nai tamashii wa nagasarete kieyuku
Kieteyuku shunkan ni wazuka hikaru
Ima Tsuki ga michiru yoru wo umidasu no sa

Cleave apart the memories of those faraway days with your hands
End the breath of sadness
Come on, pierce through my chest made anxious by love

Looking at the sky in which the tomorrow will come, I don't know what to do with my heart that is only lost
Birds by my side flew away- I wonder if they found light somewhere

Come now, won't you let me ride on your back, too?
Then keep far away from the kindess that I deserted at the highest place

Cleave apart the memories of those faraway days with your hands
End the breath of sadness
Come on, pierce through my chest made anxious by love

I saw off birds into the dark evening, the wind strokes the me who merely crawls the ground
I won't say that I want wings; I want to become melissa leaves dancing in midair, at least

I've already tried to keep standing many times
But that's probably not the answer, right?
'Cause then I won't go against this wind

Take the key with your hands, you won't be hesitating, right?
Even if you were wrong, if it seems that it'd never open again
Come on, end it with the sound of a lock falling

A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly
Now, it creates a night with a full moon

I have a story.
So basically, I was transferred to another school before moving up to tenth grade. After the first few weeks in the school, I didn't really have any friends. There was this really cool pair of brother and sister who always found a way to spend some of their time with me so that I don't feel lonely. One school day, though, as me and the siblings were on a line to have our lunch, I suddenly hummed this song to myself. It wasn't really that loud, but I was conscious enough to notice that it was loud enough for them to notice. So after the words "Kimi no te de", I just kinda halted. The brother looked at mefor a good few seconds, then did the echo for that same "Kimi no te de" line (the one with the higher voice). The sister continued with the second line, and I too did the callback to that. Then we all did the line "tooi hi no kioku wo". We all looked at each other for awhile before starting to laugh our asses off. Fast forward 2 years, I am now dating his sister, and his brother has now become one of my closest friends. All because of this song.

I watched FMA pretty late, especially since Brotherhood was what got me into the franchise, and when I heard this song, I could have sworn I've heard it before. I thought to myself, "isn't this that one intro song from that one flash sonic game I used to play hours on end when I was a kid?", and then I scrolled down to the comments section and... what do you know.

[hudsonferreira]

My best friend passed away this year. We watched FMA together many years ago and we grew up listening to this song. It just make me feel that he still here and we can talk about anime any time.

I don't know where you are bro, but I want to thank you for these 18 years we had been together. You were the best friend I could have. Rest in peace!

[GriziDaWiz]

*Friend* “What music do you listen too?”

*Me* “I listen to art.”

[bronyaraiden]

Mom, why my sister's name is Rose?
-Because your dad loves roses.
-Thanks mom.
-ıt was nothing "Melissa".

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth."

-Alphonse Elric

[blazer_sol]

I thank Final Fantasy Sonic X every day for introducing me to this gem and FMA as a whole.

[shelxvesdre]

The electric guitar solo at 3:11 absolutely killed it. So good

[Megz_X]

So I just finished watching FMA 2003...

I’ll be perfectly honest. I was hooked until the end. After watching brotherhood first, I was intrigued and drawn to this alternative story.

While others may say the ending was nothing short of heresy, I saw it as a way to give us hope, that one day, the Elric brothers would be reunited.

All in all, I think it was one of the best damn anime of the early 2000s, retaining that classic feel, all while being an inspiration for the future anime to come

[ericvilas]

Fun fact: the first time I heard the starting bassline was the moment I realized I had synesthesia. I have never heard a more beautiful shade of sky blue before or since.

[XXXI]

I would lose the sonic x5 final fantasy game on purpose just hear this masterpiece over and over again for about 2days in a row then learn and understand the lyrics thats how much I luv this song...sooo good.

[grimyfritos]

story,
at the beginning of quarantine, i decided to finally watch fma. I had watched brotherhood two years prior and always loved it. I heard it was different but gave it a shot anyway. I watched it straight for about 3-4 days. This was during the beginning of quarantine, when school was lightening up. Everyday me and my friends would play No Man's sky and i would watch this in class. Looking back now, its only been 6-7 months, but God Damn do i miss early quarantine. It was so fun and new. I already have nostalgia when i listen to this song. I swear quarantine really speeds the nostalgia process up ;-;

[dcsigmund]

am i the only one who kinda cries internally when i hear this song? fma 2003 is truly a masterpiece: intense, wise, profound, tackling complex ideas. i have never seen something like that before. the ending ( before the film shamballa ) was somehow incomplete, yet rewarding. truly one of the most bittersweet things you will ever see

[sludgeftheswamp]

When you get to watch nina and hughes die twice

[MrNrj]

This song has been my alarm clock ringtone for like 10 years

[georglindberg]

F in the chat for all of those who only listen to the anime version and never get to hear the guitar solo at 03:11

[goblinwrecks]

Childhood memories from Sonic final fantasy.

[primaldefender]

the definitive fma song, whether it be 2003 or brotherhood. Ed reaching for light is the most powerful image in either series

[udontneedtoremember]

Personally, I think Melissa is better than Again.

[PandoMatic]

the best part is the " KIMI NO TE DE KIRISAITE TOOI HI NO KIOKU WO"
