Memories

=Memories= memories is the first One Piece ending. The song is by Maki Otsuki, and the English version is voiced by Brina Palencia. For the original and Funimation dubs, it is featured in Episode 1 to Episode 30.

Description
The screen opens to an angled back view of Luffy looking out over an ocean turned gold by the setting sun, with the camera zooming in as the song continues. As the song progresses, it steadily gets closer and more Straw Hats appear. First Zoro, then Nami, Usopp, and lastly Sanji. The finishes still zooming in on the five now looking at the gold ocean.

Lyrics:

Chisana koro ni wa takara no chizu ga

Atama no naka ni ukandeite

Itsudemo sagashita kiseki no basho o

Shiranai dareka ni makenai you ni

Ima de wa hokori darake no mainichi

Itsu no hi ka subete no

Toki ni mi o makaseru dake

Moshi mo sekai ga kawaru no nara

Nanimo shiranai koro no watashi ni

Tsurete itte omoide ga iro asenai you ni

Chisana koro kara uta o utatte

Yume miru kokoro atatameteta

Minna de maneshita himitsu no merodei

Kondo wa jouzu ni kikoeru you ni

Ima de wa tame iki tsuite bakari de

Daremo mada hontou no

Yume sae tsukamenai mama

Moshi mo jidai ga modoru no nara

Namida o shitta koro no watashi ni

Tsurete itte setsunasa ga oitsukanai you ni

Moshi mo sekai ga kawaru no nara

Nanimo shiranai koro no watashi ni

Tsurete itte omoide ga iro asenai you ni

Tsurete itte setsunasa ga oitsukanai you ni

Memories- Brina Palencia
As a kid, I never stopped

Searching for a great treasure

I had a map in my mind

That I knew would lead me

I had to find my way to that place

Before someone could beat me

The promised land was in my grasp

And I wouldn't let go

day after day...

no matter what may come there's nothing that you can take away from me

My only dream...

I won't stop chasing it until it comes true

But if the world ever changes

I'll call out your name

We could return to the time

When everything's the same

As long as I'm with you

My memories won't fade

Waiting for that one true dream...
