From One Piece Encyclopedia
The sixteenth One Piece ending sung by TriPlane.
[edit] Ending
This ending is entirely dedicated to Going Merry. The ending begins showing the main mast with the sail rolled up, the camera panning up into the crow's nest, showing the Straw Hat Pirates' Jolly Roger, the sky covered in dark stormy clouds. It fades to black and shows Merry sailing across the ocean, the bottom of it shown at first, then the view expanding to show it sailing the large ocean. It then shows the rear of Merry, and displays the many events that has happened there in black silhouetted figures. First, it shows Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp cheering over gaining a ship, then it shows Sanji added in the group serving food to the others. Next, it shows Luffy and Usopp fishing, using Carue as bait as Vivi rushes over and hits both of them over the head. Then, it shows Chopper celebrating his joining the crew, and last, the farewell made to Vivi with all of them showing their mark of friendship. Next, it shows the Straw Hats inside the cabin, fading one by one, Robin reading a book, Sanji cooking, Nami talking, Zoro sleeping, Chopper steering the central steer rudder, Usopp fixing or making something holding his hammer, and last, Luffy holding a piece of meat while sitting on a barrel, until the cabin is empty, showing the silhouette of Klabautermann through the doorway. It fades to black, then showing Merry in a fierce storm, tides everywhere, before showing the main mast once more, and finally, a profile view of Merry's figure head, before fading to black for the last time.
[edit] Romanized Lyrics
Mainichi hi ga shizumu made
Doroma mire ni nari-nagara
Mujaki ni sugoshita hibi mo
Sute-gatai keredo
Yume miru boku ga itemo
Sore wa sore de boku dakara
Jigusoo-pazuru mitai ni
Hamatte nakute ii
Dareka no "Yes" ga kimi ni totte
"No" de aru no to onaji you ni
Itsudatte jiyuu na hazu dakara
Ashite kaze ga toori-nuketa toki ni
Pazuru ga kaketeita to shitemo
Daremo sore o semetari shinai yo
Ano hi, yume mita bokura wa
Machigai janai to shinjite
Araku uneru unabara wo
Watatte yukeru
Kimi no mune no itami datte
Bokura wa shitteiru kara
Moshimo kimi ga kono fune wo orite
Chigau sekai ni ita toshitemo
Saigo ni wa kitto waraeru yo
Imademo bokura wa
Yume wo miteru yo
Dakusareta sono omoi mo
Nosete
Areta kono unabara wo
Itami to tatakatte kyou mo yuku
Yakusoku ga uso ni naranai you ni
Soshite itsuka
Bokura no fune wo orita
Chigau sekai ni iru kimi ni
Kansei shita pazuru wo todokeyou
[edit] English Lyrics
Every day until the sun set,
We got ourselves dirty with mud
Those days that we wasted so foolishly
Are still hard to throw away.
I'm a dreamer,
But that's just how I am.
It's alright if you don't
Want to be broken like a jigsaw puzzle
To you, when someone says "Yes"
It's the same as if they said "No"
We thought we would always be free...
When the wind blows toward tomorrow,
Even if the puzzle is broken,
No one will blame us.
That day, we believed
That our dreams weren't so wrong.
We just traveled across
The rough seas.
I always knew about
The pain you carried in your heart...
Even if you leave this ship,
And end up in another world,
I'm sure we'll all be able to smile in the end.
Even now,
We'll keep on dreaming.
Keep riding along with those
Dearest dreams...
We'll fight over the rough seas,
Even through our pain,
So that our promises won't become lies.
And then, one day
To you who left our ship
And are now in another world
I will send that completed puzzle...
Sayonara, Going Merry! We all will always miss you!
