Deedorito requested a translation of this song a couple weeks ago.
For you, Dorito, here are the lyrics in romaji with an English
translation, followed by the lyrics in Japanese Industrial Standard
codes.  The ESC characters in the JIS codes are replaced with "^[" for
posting.

These and many other anime song lyrics and translations are available
for anonymous ftp from romulus.rutgers.edu (128.6.13.2), in the
pub/anime/lyrix subdirectory.

I'm translating these songs to learn Japanese, so if you notice any
mistakes, please correct me.

Odyssey
"Record of Lodoss War" image song (1991)

daiichi wa mada kiri ni dakare
asahi sae noboranai
sono naka ni mimi wo sumaseba
kikoeru kaze no kodou
Just my only love
			The earth is still embraced with mist.
			Even the morning sun isn't rising.
			If you listen closely within it,
			you can hear the beat of the wind,
			just my only love.

haruka tooi chihei no saki ni
tatta ichirin  saku hana
kimi ni okuritai
			At the far end of the horizon,
			only one flower blooms.
			I want to present it to you.

* Go west  futari wa ima  Odyssey
  shinwa no jidai ni kaeri
  Go west  kanashimi nado sutete
  aishita mono dake ga miru yume no shiro e
  tabidatou  Far away
			Go west, we are now [on an] Odyssey
			Going back to the era of legend.
			Go west, casting away sadness and the like,
			to a castle of dreams only lovers can imagine,
			let's set out, far away.

nagareboshi ga sora wo suberu
1000 [sen]-nen no byakuya e to
ikoku no kotoba de inoru yo
namida o nakusanaide
Just my only love
			A falling star slides down the sky.
			To 1000 years of nights lit by the midnight sun and
			I pray in a foreign country's words!
			Don't lose your tears,
			just my only love.

kutsu o nuide hikarabita kawa
wataru sono toki
kuchibiru  kasane-au darou
			Taking off our shoes, that time
			we crossed a dried-up river,
			our lips met [lit. overlapped each other].

Go west  futari wa ima  Odyssey
rekishi ga shizuka ni kawaru
Go west  asahi wo nigiri-shime
aishita mono dake ga miru yume no shiro e
tabidatou  Far away
			Go west, we are now [on an] Odyssey
			History changes quietly.
			Go west, grasping the morning sun,
			to a castle of dreams only lovers can imagine,
			let's set out, far away.

* Repeat
