Elfen Lied :: Lilium
When is the last time you heard a song, or a piece for that matter, that reaches so deeply into you, a tune so deeply engraved with emmotions that you don't have to understand what it means to appreciate it? Perhaps never for some of you living in the world today, those exposed only to trash music made popular by the absence of proper clothing, a pretty face or simply superb marketing. Let's not go into shitty vocals here.
Music is art, a truth now very much twisted won't you agree? Music nowadays is skewed towards entertainment, towards capitalism, a world where revenues mean everything. Exactly how much of the music you listen to can you truely, without hesitation, classify as art? What other kind of emotion did the music you listen to bring out in you other than adrenaline pumping excitement? Perhaps it's personal preference, some people like trashy music while some don't, who's to judge your choice in music?
Enough with the crap and on to the focus of this post here. As you've probably guessed, you'll be seeing the lyrics and the translation of the song Lilim from Elfen Lied, that you'll see at the end of this post, before that, some things about Elfen Lied.
Elfen Lied is a 13 Episode +1 OVA anime which, well, kicks ASS!! Why you ask? Imagine this, you're greeted to each episode with a fantastic opening theme song with fantastic art. Not to forget the fact that the main character of the series is almost always nude in the opening. Nice art + hot chick + lots of skin + superb music, what's not to like? As for the plot, it's one of the best plots ever written if you ask me, the other being Neon Genesis Evangelion & FMA. It's beyond words and at times, I almost cried, ME! The sadistic psychopath! It's that good. There's also a LOT of blood. I actually mean A LOT, truely not for the weak hearted.
Elfen Lied :: Lilium :: Latin :: English
Os iusti meditabitur sapientam,
et lingua eius loquetor indictum.
The mouth of the just shall consider the taste
and the tongue shall speak of it not.
Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem,
qouniam cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae.
Fortunate is the man who bears the temptation
For when you may approve it he shall receive the crown of life.
Kyrie, Ignis divine, eleison (could be also 'divine ignis', 'prophet of the flame', since she says divine and not the Latin word for it)
Oh Lord, divine flame, have mercy
O quam sanctum, quam serena
quam benigma, quam amoena
Sevi cum graditum
O quam sanctum, quam serena
quam benigma, quam amoena
O castitas lilium
Oh who sacred, who serene
who benign, who beautiful
I have sown with the step
The lily of chastity (or purity)
You can find the MP3 for this song here. Or you can ask me if you know me for a choir version of it.

PS. If you haven't already heard the song playing in the bg of this page, you're either deaf or your speakers are off. It's Lilium by the way.
