While surfing through the site, I found this.
Since the official translation of "The Best Is Yet To Come" is apparently "bad", I'm looking for a "good" one. Would someone mind providing me this ?
(Don't tell to use Google, I already did that and I only found the official translation !)

the one in the OST is indeed faulty:
From "A complete plot summary & analysis of the Metal Gear series" by Grant Morrissey.

Q. How does 'The Best is Yet to Come' Go?
A. The song was originally sung in Gaelic in an Irish studio (by Aoife Ni
Fhearraigh) The original lyrics I posted were apparently mis-translated (if
there is such a word) even though they were the official translation. This was
probably due to the fact that the original lyrics got mixed up with the
Japanese language (or something like that) Its a fairly appropriate song when
you consider its about returning to nature and simplicity. The stuff that is
said in the song is very simular to Solid Snake actually. Following is the
Irish lyrics and the english translation:

IRISH/GAELIC ENGLISH
---------------------------------------------------------------------
||
An cuimhin leat an gra || Do you remember the love
Cra croi an ghra || Tormented love from the heart
Nil anois ach ceol na h-oiche || It wasn't but music at night
Taim siorai i ngra || It is an eternal love
Leannain le smal || It is a misfortune
Leannain le smal || It is a misfortune
||
Lig leis agus beidh leat || Go now and be
Lig leis agus beidh gra || Go now and be in love
||
Cuimhne leat an t-am || Remember the time
Nuair a bhi tu sasta || When you were satisified
||
An cuimhne leat an t-am || Do you remember the time
Nuair a bhi tu ag gaire || When you were happy
Ta an saol iontach || Life is wonderful
ma chreideann tu ann || Can you believe it
||
Tug aghaidh ar an saoi || Your face says that your
is sonas siorai inar measc || happiness
Ceard a tharla do na || Will go on forever
laethanta sin || What happened during those
Ceard a tharla do na || days?
h-oicheanta sin || What happened during those
|| nights?
||
An cuimhin leat an t-am || Do you remember the time
Nuair a bhi tu faoi bhron || when you were sad?
An cuimhin leat an t-am || Do you remember the time
Go siorai sileadh na ndeaor || when you were weeping dear?
||
An ormsa na orainne a bhi || Myself and others were at
an locht || fault
Ag mothu cailite s'ar fan || Our feelings were lost on
Cen fath an t-achrann is || waiting
sileadh na ndeor || Why were we fighting for
Ta ailleacht sa saol || so long?
Ma chuardaionn tu e || There is beauty in life
Ta gliondar sa saol || Do you believe
Cuardaimis e || there is beauty in life?
|| Believe me

Thanks to Aurora02 from the MGS Gamefaqs forum for the original
lyrics. And then I extend another thank you to Damian Dennehy in his
expertise of the Irish language for informing me of the gross mistakes made in
the translation of the official song lyrics (Such as the fact that Irish &
Gaelic language is the same thing and, specifically, pointing out heaps of
confusions between the lines "t-am", meaning "time", and "gra", meaning "love")
From the mathematical perspective, consciousness might be regarded as a second derivative of sensation.

Thank you very much, Snatcher.
Speaking about songs, I had another question/request :
Was "If I die in a combat zone" (the song featured in the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake manual) originally in Japanese or in English ?
If it was in Japanese, would someone mind typing the original lyrics here ?
(I also used Google for that one, but found out nothing.)

Logic seems to point in that way, but not being a speaker of the language I wouldn't be sure.
