    So, for instance, "kanashii" sounds like "kanashi-i", and "tsurai" "tsura-i".
    I have read the lyrics while listening to the original FF VI soundtrack music, and they all fit perfectly to me, including the Draco and Maria part.
    I know how to pronounce written Japanese, and there's a few points where the syllables don't fit the number of notes. Later today when I'm feeling less lazy I'll point them out.

    EDIT:

    "Chikatta bakari ni" is short one syllable
    "Anata to omoi" is short one syllable
    "Kotoba wo matsu" is short one syllable
    "Arigatou watashi no" has too many syllables @.@
    "Yureta watashi ni" is short one syllable
    "Anata wo matsu" is short one syllable
