memories is the first One Piece ending. The song is sung by Maki Otsuki with the English version sung by Brina Michelle Palencia.
Ending[]
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. It finishes while still zooming in on the five now looking at the gold ocean.

Japanese Kanji | Japanese Rōmaji | English Translation |
小さな頃には宝の地図が 頭の中に浮かんでいて |
Chiisana koro ni wa takara no chizu ga Atama no naka ni ukandeite |
When I was small, I had a treasure map floating in my mind I kept (have always been) searching for a miraculous place |
今ではほこりだらけの毎日 いつの日かすべての |
Ima de wa hokori darake no mainichi Itsu no hi ka subete no |
Now, each day is filled with dust Someday, I'll leave everything Up to time |
もしも世界が変わるのなら 何も知らない頃の私に |
Moshi mo sekai ga kawaru no nara Nanimo shiranai koro no watashi ni |
If the world ever changes Take me away to myself that never knew a thing |
小さな頃から歌を唄って 夢見る心あたためてた |
Chiisana koro kara uta o utatte Yume miru kokoro atatameteta |
I was singing since I was small Warming the heart that dreams |
今ではため息ついてばかりで 誰���まだ本当の |
Ima de wa tame iki tsuite bakari de Daremo mada hontou no |
Right now, I keep on sighing Everyone is still unable to |
もしも時代が戻るのなら 涙を知った頃の私に |
Moshi mo jidai ga modoru no nara Namida o shitta koro no watashi ni |
If the time ever goes back (old times ever come back) Take me to myself that learned (knew) tears |
もしも世界が変わるのなら 何も知らない頃の私に |
Moshi mo sekai ga kawaru no nara Nanimo shiranai koro no watashi ni |
If the world ever changes Take me to myself that never knew a thing |
連れていって せつなさが追いつかないように | Tsurete itte setsunasa ga oitsukanai you ni | Take me along, making sure that loneliness can't catch up |

Lyrics[]
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...
(La la la la)
Day after day...
(La la la la la)
No matter what may come,
there's nothing that can take away from me[1]
(La la la la)
My only dream...
(La la la la la)
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...[2]
