I guess it's because I'm a cheap man.

The Parting Song, from the episode 24 of Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden Series 1. It is the end of the last episode of the last arc of the first Gaiden series. The arc is called "A Hundred Billion Stars, a Hundred Billion Lights" and the episode 24 is called "A Hundred Billion Stars, One Ambition". --- Here are the lyrics taken from the subtitles: Unable to bear the long parting, I will drink from this wine glass. You are like a jewel. I will sing a parting song for you. Having woken up from the half-life of my dreams I think of the days that have passed. The wine that absorbed your tears tastes bitter tonight. As I'm going to the field of death, I can't help but hope for a tomorrow with you. Putting my passion to rest I will sing for you. --- A friend of mine came up with these Japanese lyrics, but I can't assure they are 100% correct: 永き別れに耐え兼ねて Nagaki wakare ni tae kanete この酒盃仰ぐかな Kono shuhai aogu ka na 珠玉の如きこの一夜＊ Shugyoku nogotoki kono ichiya されば歌わん君がため Sareba uta wan kimigatame 我半生の夢覚めて Ga hansei no yume samete 過ぎにし日々を遠く見る Sugi nishibi byō o tōku miru 君が涙を溶かしては Kimi ga namida o tokashite wa 今宵の酒は苦い刈機 Koyoi no sake wa nigai kari-ki 死地に赴く我なれば Shichi ni omomuku ga nareba 君との明日を望みえず Kimi to no ashita o nozomi ezu 熱き思いを葬りて Atsuki omoi o hōmurite いざや歌わん君がため Iza ya uta wan kimigatame
