Expressive Hill ~ Harmonics EOLIA ~ from Ar Tonelico Hymmnos Concert

Another one of my favorites from the game Ar Tonelico. It seems this strange, unintelligible language has captured my heart one way or another through its uniqueness and abrupt change in emotion.

This song seems to bring me somewhere else like in a fairy tale, like in a make belief world where maidens are singing calming yet meaningful songs. And in the actual case of the game, these songs turn into powerful spells which aid your characters to defeat the baddies! hehe

Well enough chitchat and here's the lyrics of the song (the lyrics is a re-post from this blog)

Expressive Hill ~ Harmonics EOLIA ~

Lyrics: Tsuchiya Akira
Composition: Tsuchiya Akira
Arrangement: Tsuchiya Akira
Vocals: Shikata Akiko


Rrha ki ra tie yor ini en nha
Come here
Wee ki ra parge yor ar ciel
Strip off everything
Was yea ra chs mea yor en fwal
Because I’ll accept all of you
Ma ki ga ks maya yor syec
Don’t be afraid, entrust your body to me

Was yea ra Was yea ra
I’m happy, I’m happy
chs hymme
being able to become the waves
chs frawr
being able to become the flowers
chs yor
being able to become you
en chs ar ciel ya
being able to become the world

Wee yea ra ene foul enrer
I always think that hymns are mysterious
Wee yea ra ene hymme syec mea
That hymns shake the bottom of my heart more than anything
Was yea ra hymme mea ks maya gyen yeal
As if weaving the magic of happiness, I strum my heartstrings
innna ar hopb syec mea ya.ya!
in the abyss of my deep, deep heart

Amakami o kakemau   tama sasayaki yueba
When you tie the spiritual murmuring that flies in the heavens
Kanmuribi furi michite   nani hito yuki orinase
The crown fire falls to the brim, weaving happiness for everyone

Samidare no aimi o   tada nagaruru koe wa
The voice that simply drifts in the indigo sea of early summer rain
Utsurohi sakanagi   oboroge na furusato no ne
Is the changing and reversed calm, the vague sound of home

Kanade narifuku gaia   sora ni hibiki ainaseba
When the gaia, which plays and calls, mutually echoes to the sky
Habataku   inori no uta   matohite
It entwines with the soaring song of your prayer

Ar tonelico
Ar tonelico

Yasuragi no oka   namida no garasu   kioku no hako   omoi no hi
The hill of peace, the glass of tears, the box of memories, the monument of thoughts
Hitoe ikue no utsurofu kiito   tamashii no ne musubi tsunagu
Single and multiple hollow and raw silk threads tie and connect the roots of souls

Tayutau mu no umi   shourei no kazaiki
The swaying ocean of nothingness, the spirits’ breaths of wind
Toke yufu mandara ni   utahi no miko are
There exists singing maidens in the untying and tying mandala

  1. The title isn't translated to Expressive Hill, but to Singing Hill, as there are places in the games that form part of this series that have that name and both are a reference to the mythological place where everything in the game's universe was born from.

    And the language (Hymmnos) isn't initelligible at all: the creators of the Ar tonelico games made a grammar guide and lexicon publicly available for anyone who wanted to try learning it.
