Valkyria Chronicles - ”Succeeded Wish” Lyrics Translation

Today’s song is “Succeeded Wish” (受け継がれる想い Uketsugareru Omoi), by Megumi Toyoguchi –used as a theme and during the game Valkyria Chronicles .

It has an official translation/localized song (titled “A Love Passed On”), but it is slightly different in meaning. I will do a comparison post later on!

The game is one of my favorites, and not very many people have played it. The anime was not as good in my opinion.
