Magi Character Song 01: Aladdin, Alibaba & Morgiana Lyrics
Another attempt at translating songs, three of them this time. I tried to no keep things too literal so there are tiny little liberties here and there. Also forgive me if there are any mistakes, I struggled with a few lines (As usual orz).
Aladdin and Alibaba's songs are so sweet, I almost feel like shipping them, and Mor's is so cool lol. Snging her own name in the chorus makes it feel more like a theme song.

Vocals: Aladdin (CV: Kaori Ishihara)
Lyrics: Shougo Yasukawa
Composition: Kakeru Ishihama
I’ve always, always been searching
On this journey with no map
I’m bright as always, just like the Sun
I want to be smiling all the time
Eating around the clock
Because I can’t move on an empty stomach
As long as I keep travelling
This magic we call an encounter
Will someday come true. How mysterious!
I want to know more and more
About me and about you
Though you may be a little awkward
I’m sure we can become friends
If someone asks me who I am
I’ll say that I’m a traveller
This world is so vast
There will always be new doors waiting to be opened
This precious thing called friendship
Can never be bought with money
It makes me stronger. My strength!
I’ve finally, finally found it
My reason for existing
If we’re together, we can make it
To distant countries and unknown horizons
Even when I’m sad
I am not alone
Because you gave me a place to return to that day
I’ve always, always been searching
For my own identity
I finally know now
That it’s been reflected in the eyes
Of the person I love, and that is you
one step further
Vocals: Alibaba (CV: Yuki Kaji)
Lyrics: Shio Watanabe
Composition: ryo(supercell)
No matter what I did or where I went
Escaping was all I had in mind
Though I knew that there are things I must do
I always lost confidence at the end
Our mysterious encounter lead me
To feel like I could do anything
Forging ahead, forging ahead so that my path may be bright
You keep encouraging me
Though the goal may be far ahead
I want to fulfil the promise we made that day
Something feels different, something seems different
I lost my way and kept deceiving myself
Only now do I understand
That I let everything slide with a stupid smile
The time I spent with someone as honest as you
Is irreplaceable and gives me confidence and strength
Forging ahead, forging ahead, fearlessly taking one step forward
It’s all right, it’s all right, you keep assuring me
Though the progress is slow
I will overcome that day and change myself
Even if we’re separated by destiny
We share the same thought
That this is not the time to stand still!
Forging ahead, forging ahead without fear nor hesitation
Along with strength even more certain that before
Though the goal may be far ahead
I want to strive for the world I believed in that day

Lyrics: CHI-MEY
Composition: CHI-MEY
Bound by invisible chains, I lost sight of myself
Afraid of the memories seared into my mind
Why couldn’t I be fee?
What am I fighting for?
But I finally realised
When I look at my feet the chains have been taken off
I was set free by him
I’m no longer anyone’s slave
Morgiana (Striking swifter than anyone else)
Morgiana (Taking down villains in a swoop)
Morgiana (The ultimate warrior tribe)
I begin to set out
“Excuse me bandits, I need to have a word with you.”
Who will create a bright future full of hope and laughter?
Is there anything I can help to make it happen? When I look at myself, the chains are no more
I don’t want to see him bruised
There’s something I have to protect
Morgiana (Leaping to immeasurable heights)
Morgiana (Bringing absolute obliteration)
Morgiana (The ultimate warrior tribe)
I will now take my stand
I’m sure that beyond the reaches of this light lies
The proud, shining homeland for me and the Fanalis to return to
I’m sure, I just know it…
Morgiana (Striking swifter than anyone else)
Morgiana (Taking down villains in a swoop)
Morgiana (The ultimate warrior tribe)
I will live out my destiny
Morgiana (Leaping to immeasurable heights)
Morgiana (Bringing absolute obliteration)
Morgiana (The ultimate warrior tribe)
That’s right, I’m a Fanalis!
