One Last You is Disc 5, Track 21 on the Xenoblade2 Original Soundtrack and Disc 10, Track 21 on the Xenoblade Chronicles Original Soundtrack Trinity Box.

Towards the end at 4:19, the melody is based on a motif from Elysium, in the Blue Sky, and the final notes at 5:16 are based on another motif from the same track. One Last You (Piano Arrange) is an arrangement of the track for solo piano.

The track plays in the second part of the credits of the main game of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, when the montage of previous cutscenes begins, and continues through the post-credits cutscene. Uniquely, this is the only vocal track in the game to have subtitles translating the lyrics into Japanese. (There are also translations in the Korean and Chinese versions, but oddly, nothing is displayed in any other language versions.)

Lyrics[edit]

English lyrics[edit]

Very end of eternity
The final day has come to an end, it’s gone for good
I would then slowly close my eyes
And be cuddled by the shining memory piece

I will trace back all the memories with you
That’s the only wish I have

The last day with you was truly magical
The frozen time began to flow
At last the longest night has gone and brought in light
I felt myself melt in the morning light

The final grain of sand has dropped
I will slowly so quietly fall into sleep
I see you gently fade away
Your silhouette has gone the other side of the mist

And all the memories with no sound so quiet
Just like in slow motion it moves so slowly

And so the last day with you was truly magical
The frozen time began to flow
At last the longest night has gone and brought in light
I felt myself melt in the morning light

You have gifted many things to me
(But I) wonder if I could’ve done the same for you
If you would let me, I will give back a handful
If it would put a little smile on your face

Can I ask you, God? Despite all of this…
Could the sandglass somehow take back the time?
One last time is all I ask from you
Can you please spare me some^[1] time with the one man I loved?

I wouldn’t care how and where it should be
But I need one last time I want to tell you, how I feel inside for you
I want you to know…

Original lyrics[edit]

永い時の果てに
最後の一日が過ぎ去って
私はそっと瞳を閉じる
輝く記憶の断片〈かけら〉に抱かれながら

あなたとの思い出を辿ることが
ただそれだけが　私の望みーー

あなたがくれた最後の一日　それは束の間の魔法
凍り付いていた時が流れ出し
明けるはずのない夜が明け
私は朝陽の中へと溶けていくーー

砂時計の　最後の一粒が落ち
私はゆっくりと　そして静かに眠りに落ちる
あなたの姿が次第に
霧の向こうへと消えていく

全ての思い出は　音もなく静まり返っていて
まるでスローモーションのように　ゆっくりと流れていく

あなたがくれた最後の一日　それは束の間の魔法
凍り付いていた時が流れ出し
明けるはずのない夜が明け
私は朝陽の中へと溶けていく…

あなたはたくさんのものを　私に与えてくれたけれど
私はどれだけのものを　あなたに返せただろうか
もう少しだけでもお返しが出来たのなら
それであなたが笑ってくれたのならーー

それでもやっぱり　神様
出来ることなら　砂時計を戻してください
ほんのわずかでいいから　もう一度だけ
あの人との時間を私にください
たった一言　私の想いを伝えるために

どんな形でも　どこであっても構わない
最後に　どうしても伝えたい
この私の想いをーー　あなたにーー

Album notes written by Yasunori Mitsuda. No official translation exists.

『ゼノギアス』の時から高橋総監督と一緒に制作する作品は「歌モノ」で締めるというのが定着してきました。今回一からヴォーカルオーディションを行い、悩んだ末にイギリス在住のJen Birdさんに歌って頂くことにしました。歌唱力は然ることながら、歌声、感情の表現が今回のゲームにとても合っていると感じたからです。長い長い冒険の後に流れるこの曲は、きっと皆さんの心を癒してくれることでしょう。
