EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA/.

Sections with Hymmnos lyrics are listed with the Hymmnos lyrics in the center column (which I always use for pronunciation) and the given Japanese equivalents in the left column in this color to indicate that the Japanese phrases are not the actual lyrics.

In this song, METHOD_METAFALICA/. acts as a patch to fix what was broken in EXEC_METAFALICA/., adding Maoh to the disaterous tale of Rhaplanca in a rewrite that ends in triumph rather than despair. The two songs and two tales are woven together, with large portions of the melody and lyrics coming directly from the originals, some of it subtly modified. I was thinking about noting where this happens, but it shouldn't be that hard to figure out, and the notes were cluttering things up even more than they already are. Footnotes are present where I find something particularly notable.

This song also concludes the tale of Rhaplanca. Neither she nor the great tree Implanta she finally grows nor her companion Maoh nor even the tale itself are mentioned anywhere in the game text itself (that I'm aware of), yet the pieces of her story are highly relevant both to the songs they appear in and to the points in the plot at which these songs are sung. The previous portion of her tale is found in METHOD_METAFALICA/.

The following pair of massively long lines are sung together:

L: 私は希望の風になる、
L:  そして大切な貴方と互いに変換する
L: Was yea ra chs ieeya fhyu
L:  en xest eazas yanyaue yor,
L:  xest 1x1101101001100110111000
L:  >> syec mea.
L: I will become the wind of hope,

C: 私は豊かな大地になる、

C: Wee ki ra chs wasara dor
C:  en xest eazas yanyaue yor,
C:  xest 1x1101101001100110111000
C:  >> syec mea.
C: I will become the bountiful earth,
C:  and with you who are precious
C:  we will transform each other.

The following line comes in during "eazas yanyaue yor, xest" as background:

L&C: 永遠の幸せを願わん L&C: enne yanje yehah... L&C: We wish for prosperity....

There's a short break, then the next section begins.

L: 天に満てよ 地に降り注げ
L: 眠る小さき種子に 恵み与えん
L: 瑠璃の雫 碧玉の雨
L: 始まりの朝告げる 唄聲を聴いて
L:

L: Awaki homura no kagiroi1 to naran
L: Suffuse the heavens, pour down upon the earth,
L: Confer blessings upon the small slumbering seed.
L: Lapis drops, jasper rain,
L: Hear the voice that sings of a morning of beginnings.
L:
L: Set me alight and illuminate the place of slumber,
L: I shall be a dawning sun of faint flames.
L&C: 聞いてこの声を

L&C:  Accept everything.
C: 幽けき 深淵の底 聴こえ… C: Kasokeki shin'en no soko kikoe... C: In the depths of a dim abyss, reaching my...

Cloche fizzles out. There's another line here, but the words are unlisted. Possibly "Was yea ra hymme ar ciel" from the above?

L: 大丈夫 一緒にいるから L: Was paks ga suwant, mea irs here an yor L: It's okay, I'm here with you.
C: 来たれや… C: Kitare ya... C: Come now...
C: 流れてくる…
C: 温かさ、希望、優しさ、愛する心…
C: 包まれる…
C: 貴方に、みんなに、私に、愛に…
C: vEsEk sarr, arhou, nafa, infel...
C: fEwErYEneh yor, herr en harr, mea, infel...
C: Flowing into me...
C: Warmth, hope, kindness, loving hearts...
C: I am enveloped...
C: By you, by everyone, by me, by love...

Cloche recovers and continues singing with the intensity the song had previously had.

L:    光    授く
C: 幽けき 深淵の底
C:  聴こえ来るは 深き息吹
L:     hikari      sazuku
C: Kasokeki  shin'en no soko

L: いざや 目覚めよ 明き黎明に

L: Iza ya mezame yo akeki reimei ni
C: Kitare ya     hirakareshi toki
L: Awaken now, unto a bright daybreak.
C: Come now, time of commencement.
L: 我ぞ 生命を与う 嗚呼 謳になれ2
C:  全て捨てて この身よ 謳になれ2
L: Ware zo inochi wo atau aa uta ni nare2
C:  Subete sutete kono mi yo uta ni nare2
L: Myself, that I may bestow life, ah, become song!2
C:  Discard everything, myself, and become song!2
L&C: 想いを開きわたしは謳になる L&C: Rra ki ra chs hymmnos, aulla mea tes ciel L&C: Revealing my feelings, I become song.

The above Hymmnos line is supposed to be in the background of the block above it, but I can never make it out.

C: ともに愛しき大地 一歩 靭く 踏みしめ
L: ともに愛しき大地 一歩 靭く 踏みしめて
C: Tomo ni itoshiki daichi ippo tsuyoku fumishime
L: Tomo ni itoshiki daichi ippo tsuyoku fumishimete
C: Together we take a firm step into the beloved land,
L: Together we take a firm step into the beloved land,

The second and third lines below are sung together with the Hymmnos block below them.

L&C: 揺るがずにただ 進む この脚で
L&C:
L&C: 踏みしめられた 足跡 繋がり行く
L&C: 歩みの軌跡 記す ひとつずつ
L&C: Yurugazu ni tada susumu kono ashi de
L&C:

L&C: Ayumi no kiseki shirusu hitotsu zutsu
L&C: Unfaltering, simply moving forward on our legs.
L&C:
L&C: The footsteps we have trod continue on in line
L&C: Recording one by one the path we have walked.
L&C:
L&C: 手をつなぎ 貴方と共に美しいこの世界と共に
L&C: 心を重ね 貴方と共に謳おう
L&C: この謳を
L&C: Was yea ra, Rra yea ra synk mahin yor en mea
L&C: Was yea ra, Rra yea ra irs an ar ciel, ee
L&C: Was yea ra, Rra yea ra synk sphilar yor en mea
L&C: exec hymme metafalica.
L&C:
L&C: Linking hands, with you and with this beautiful world,
L&C: Joining hearts, I shall sing with you
L&C: This song.

Dramatically!

-----再生を! ------waath! ------rebirth!

Brief instrumental interlude.

C: 謳は胸を溢れて
C: 地に渓に湖に満てる
C: やがて生いし木は深く
C: 土に根ざし大地 抱く3
C: Uta wa mune wo afurete
C: Chi ni tani ni mizu ni miteru
C: Yagate oishi ki wa fukaku
C: Tsuchi ni nezashi daichi idaku3
C: Song overflows my breast,
C: Suffusing earth, valleys, lakes.
C: Soon trees spring forth, deeply
C: Embracing the earth they take root in.3

In the next section, Cloche adds an echo in Luca's pauses and harmony on their overlaps.

L: 目眩き 蒼穹の砕けし欠片
L: この手の上 いま 宿れ
L: Mabayuki soukyuu no kudakeshi kakera
L: Kono te no ue ima yadore

L: Fly down     into my breast.

L: AH    響きわたれや 紡ぎ謳よ
C: 解き放て 響きわたれや 紡ぎ謳よ4
L: AH     hibiki watare ya tsumugi uta yo
C: Tokihanate hibiki watare ya tsumugi uta yo4
L: Ah,    resound, O song that we craft!
C: Unleaash, resound, O song that we craft!4

Next, the singers alternate words. Also note the Hymmnos sentence built up across all four lines.

This is probably my personal favorite part of the song.

L: Was   遠く 羽を のばして
C: Was  高く 空に 枝をのばし
L: Was    tooku  hane wo  nobashite
C: Was takaku  sora ni  eda wo nobashi
L: Was   afar   your wings  spread

L:   hatenu   inori  kono uta yo
C: weal   karenu   negai uta yo
L:   endless   prayer,  O our song
C: weal  unwithering,   O wishing song

These next four lines are simultaneous with the four Hymmnos lines below them.

C: The boy decided to raise the seed with her.
L: 彼女は種に水を分け与え育てた L: Harr crannidale infel en kapa L: Sharing her water, she raised the seed.

These next four lines are simultaneous with both the four Hymmnos lines below them and the two "Voices Worldwide" lines below those.

世界中の声: 謳えや、希望と感謝の詩 Sekaijuu no Koe: chanti ee ar ciel, infel yor. Voices Worldwide: Sing a song of hope and thanksgiving.

That's it for overlapping lyrics; the rest is straightforward.

L: Be there light in these gentle heavens, and upon all life,
L&C: Be there love, everlasting.

1 That's a doozy of a nonstandard reading for 朝陽, normally あさひ (asahi). The reading used here, かげろい (kageroi), comes from 陽炎—which itself rarely has that reading and is usually read かぎろう (kagirou)—and is an uncommon term referring to the light of dawn. And wouldn't you know it, 朝陽 means "morning sun".

2 These lines come almost directly from the individual songs, but with an important difference. Instead of the self as the topic and the verb as a simple indicative (I state that I will become song), they now address themselves and use a verb in imperative form (I command myself to become song).

3 Though this block comes directly from Method Metafalica, here it uses a three-beat rhythm instead of the original two-beat rhythm.

4 This section comes from Exec Metafalica, and still has Luca's "aah"s even though they aren't written out in the lyrics. More notably, a tweak to the last line makes it end in 紡ぎ謳 (tsumugi uta, song that we craft) instead of the original 神が謳 (kami ga uta, song of the goddess).

5 I think 清き here is being read さやき (sayaki). It's certainly not きよき (kiyoki) like I'd expect.

The Hymmnos

Keep in mind that I'm working from a Japanese description of how the language works and Japanese descriptions of the terms. Translations of translations always tend to suffer somewhat in quality.... Also note that I'm not entirely certain of how to write the pronunciations of emotive sound verbs with emotive vowels added for certain combinations that are neither natural in Japanese nor shown in examples on the Hymmno Server.

Refer to my brief Hymmnos reference for general information on how the language works. This song uses both the standard and the Neopact Pastalie variants.

If you have the Hymmnos font installed, the headings below should appear in the script used in the game. Hey, why not? The font is available from the Hymmno Server, where most of my information on Hymmnos comes from. The site is mostly in Japanese, but the download link itself is in English. If you don't have the font, the headings will simply appear as large Latin text.

Was yea ra chs ieeya fhyu

Hymmnos line: Was yea ra chs ieeya fhyu

Glossed as: 私は希望の風になる

Which means: I will become the wind of hope

Kana reading: ワス イェア ラ チス イーヤ ヒュフ

Romanized: was yea ra chisu iiya hyufu

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / yea = happy / ra = want to be like this
chs = become / ieeya = hope / fhyu = wind

Literal translation attempt: I am intensely happy to become the wind of hope.

Wee ki ra chs wasara dor

Hymmnos line: Wee ki ra chs wasara dor

Glossed as: 私は豊かな大地になる

Which means: I will become the bountiful earth

Kana reading: ウィ キ ラ チス ワサラ ドール

Romanized: wi ki ra chisu wasara douru

Vocabulary summary: Wee = quite / ki = serious, focused / ra = want to be like this
chs = become / wasara = abundant, bountiful / dor = earth, continent

Literal translation attempt: I am quite focused on becoming the bountiful earth.

en xest eazas yanyaue yor, xest

Hymmnos line: en xest eazas yanyaue yor, xest

Glossed as: そして大切な貴方と互いに変換する

Which means: and with you who are precious we will transform each other.

Kana reading: エン ゼスト イーザス ヤンヤゥエ ヨア ゼスト

Romanized: en zesuto iizasu yanyawe yoa zesuto

Vocabulary summary: en = and (then), because of / xest = convert, transform / eazas = together, mutually / yanyaue = precious / yor = you (object) / xest = convert, transform

The double use of "xest" along with the "eazas" suggests to me a sense of "I transform you and you transform me back."

Literal translation attempt: And with you who are precious we will transform each other.

1x1101101001100110111000 >> syec mea.

Hymmnos line: 1x1101101001100110111000 >> syec mea.

Glossed as: It isn't, really

Which means: (not applicable)

Kana reading: イ グ イ イ オ イ イ オ イ オ オ イ イ オ オ イ イ オ イ イ イ オ オ オ トラス セク ミーァ

Romanized: i gu i i o i i o i o o i i o o i i o i i i o o o torasu seku mii[a]

Vocabulary summary: 1x1101101001100110111000 = (Hymmnos binary) / >> = (redirection operator) / syec = abyss, depths / mea = me

The 1x1101101001100110111000 >> is essentially setting operational paramaters for program (song) execution, as best I understand. Trying to puzzle out what it means is useless without more information. We do at least know where the settings are going though: "syec mea," deep into myself.

enne yanje yehah...

Hymmnos line: enne yanje yehah...

Glossed as: 永遠の幸せを願わん

Which means: We wish for prosperity....

Kana reading: エニェ ヤニェ イェハー

Romanized: enye yanye yehaa

Vocabulary summary: enne = prayer, (positive) desire / yanje = forever / yehah = bliss

"Happily ever after" is a decent translation of Japanese 幸せ (and by extension, Hymmnos "yehah"). Often translated as "happy" or "fortunate", it's neither happy as in cheerfulness nor fortunate as in a lucky roll of the dice. Rather, it's more of a "life is good" sort of concept. "Happily married" is typically this sense of "happy". 嬉しい happy is an emotion that comes and goes with your mood; 幸せ happy is lasting.

Literal translation attempt: We wish for a happily ever after.

Was yea ra hymme ar ciel

Hymmnos line: Was yea ra hymme ar ciel

Glossed as: 謳って世界を

Which means: Sing of the world

Kana reading: ワス イェア ラ ヒュム アル シェール

Romanized: wasu yea ra hyumu aru sheeru

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / yea = happy / ra = want to be like this
hymme = sing, play, resonate / ar = the / ciel = sky, (loose usage) world

Literal translation attempt: Joyfully sing of the world.

Was paks ra kiafa hynne mea

Hymmnos line: Was paks ra kiafa hynne mea

Glossed as: 聞いてこの声を

Which means: Hear my voice

Kana reading: ワス パクス ラ キアファ ヒュン ミーァ

Romanized: wasu pakusu ra kiafa hyun mii[a]

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / paks = nervous, excited / ra = want to be like this
kiafa = listen, ask, hear / hynne = voice / mea = me

Literal translation attempt: Hear my voice, brimming with excitement.

Was paks ra ates omnis

Hymmnos line: Was paks ra ates omnis

Glossed as: 全てを受け入れて

Which means: Accept everything

Kana reading: ワス パクス ラ {ates} オムニス

Romanized: wasu pakusu ra {ates} omunisu

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / paks = nervous, excited / ra = want to be like this
ates = {ates} / omnis = everything

"ates" probably means "accept."

Literal translation attempt: Accept everything with excitement.

Was paks ga suwant, mea irs here an yor

Hymmnos line: Was paks ga suwant, mea irs here an yor

Glossed as: 大丈夫 一緒にいるから

Which means: It's okay, I'm here with you.

Kana reading: ワス パクス ガ スワント ミーァ イルス イア アン ヨア

Romanized: wasu pakusu ga suwanto mii[a] irusu ia an yoa

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / paks = nervous, excited / ga = want to escape quickly
suwant = save, help / mea = me / irs = is, exists / here = here / an = along with, together with / yor = you (object)

Literal translation attempt: Uncomfortably anxious, I'm here to help you.

vEsEk sarr, arhou, nafa, infel...

Hymmnos line: vEsEk sarr, arhou, nafa, infel...

Glossed as: 流れてくる… 温かさ、希望、優しさ、愛する心…

Which means: Flowing into me... warmth, hope, kindness, loving hearts...

Kana reading: ヴェセク サール アーフー ナファ インフェル

Romanized: veseku saaru aafuu nafa inferu

Vocabulary summary: v.s.k = feel (physical), experience / sarr = sunlight, radiance / arhou = hope / nafa = gentle / infel = love

Literal translation attempt: I am glad to feel warmth, hope, kindness, love...

fEwErYEneh yor, herr en harr, mea, infel...

Hymmnos line: fEwErYEneh yor, herr en harr, mea, infel...

Glossed as: 包まれる… 貴方に、みんなに、私に、愛に…

Which means: I am enveloped... by you, by everyone, by me, by love...

Kana reading: フェウェリェン {eh} ヨア へ[ルル] エン ハ[ルル] ミーァ インフェル

Romanized: feweryen {eh} yoa he[ruru] en ha[ruru] mii[a] inferu

Vocabulary summary: f.w.r.n = engulf / eh = (passive voice) / yor = you (object) / herr = he / en = and (then), because of / harr = she / mea = me / infel = love

"herr en harr" (he and she) appears to be a kludge for "everyone." Combining subjects with objects just seems like poor grammar, though. Either "yor" should be "yorr" to make them all subjects (since "me" doesn't have a subject equivalent), or "herr en harr" should be "hes en has" (him and her) to make them all objects.

Actually, that "en" isn't the best choice in the first place, and should probably be "an". "en" is more of an "and" for verb and phrases, while "an" tends to be the "and" for nouns. So in short, I think it would be more grammatical if this line were "fEwErYEneh yor, hes an has, mea, infel..."

Literal translation attempt: I am lovingly enveloped by you, everyone, myself, love...

Rra ki ra chs hymmnos, aulla mea tes ciel

Hymmnos line: Rra ki ra chs hymmnos, aulla mea tes ciel

Glossed as: 想いを開きわたしは謳になる

Which means: Revealing my feelings, I become song.

Kana reading: [ルル]ラ キ ラ チス ヒュムノス アウラ ミーァ テス シェール

Romanized: [ruru]ra ki ra chisu hyumunosu mii[a] tesu sheeru

Vocabulary summary: Rrha = consumed with / ki = serious, focused / ra = want to be like this
chs = become / hymmnos = song, Hymmnos / aulla = open, disclose, reveal / mea = me / tes = (indicates destination) / ciel = sky, (loose usage) world

Literal translation attempt: Intensely focused, I become song and reveal myself to the world.

Was yea ra, Rra yea ra synk mahin yor en mea

Hymmnos line: Was yea ra, Rra yea ra synk mahin yor en mea

Glossed as: 手をつなぎ

Which means: Linking hands

Kana reading: ワス イェア ラ [ルル]ラ イェア ラ シンク マァイン ヨア エン ミーァ

Romanized: Wasu yea ra [ruru]ra yea ra shinku maain yoa en mii[a]

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / yea = happy / ra want to be like this
Rrha = consumed with / yea = happy / ra = want to be like this
synk = pile up / mahin = hand / yor = you (object) / en = and (then), because of / mea = me

The double emotions are unusual, but I suppose there's nothing wrong with them, particularly since they're so similar.

Literal translation attempt: Very happy, consumingly happy, I put your hand and mine together.

Was yea ra, Rra yea ra irs an ar ciel, ee

Hymmnos line: Was yea ra, Rra yea ra irs an ar ciel, ee

Glossed as: 貴方と共に美しいこの世界と共に

Which means: with you and with this beautiful world

Kana reading: ワス イェア ラ [ルル]ラ イェア ラ イルス アン アル シェール ィエエ

Romanized: Wasu yea ra [ruru]ra yea ra irusu an aru sheeru yee

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / yea = happy / ra want to be like this
Rrha = consumed with / yea = happy / ra = want to be like this
irs = is, exists / an = along with, together with / ar = the / ciel = sky, (loose usage) world / ee = great, exalted

Literal translation attempt: Very happy, consumingly happy, we are as one with the vast world.

Was yea ra, Rra yea ra synk sphilar yor en mea

Hymmnos line: Was yea ra, Rra yea ra synk sphilar yor en mea

Glossed as: 心を重ね

Which means: Joining hearts

Kana reading: ワス イェア ラ [ルル]ラ イェア ラ シンク スフィーラ ヨア エン ミーァ

Romanized: Wasu yea ra [ruru]ra yea ra shinku sufiira yoa en mii[a]

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / yea = happy / ra want to be like this
Rrha = consumed with / yea = happy / ra = want to be like this
synk = pile up / sphilar = mind, heart / yor = you (object) / en = and (then), because of / mea = me

Literal translation attempt: Very happy, consumingly happy, I put your heart and mine together.

exec hymme METAFALICA

Hymmnos line: exec hymme METAFALICA

Glossed as: 貴方と共に謳おう この謳を

Which means: I shall sing with you this song.

Kana reading: エグゼク ヒュム メタファリカ

Romanized: eguzeku hyumu metafarika

Vocabulary summary: exec = execute (do) / hymme = sing, play, resonate / Metafalica = Metafalica

Literal translation attempt: [And we] execute Metafalica.

------waath!

Hymmnos line: ------waath!

Glossed as: -----再生を!

Which means: ------rebirth!

Kana reading: ワース

Romanized: waasu

Vocabulary summary: waath = replay, rebirth

Bam. I love how the shortest lines can have the most impact.

Was yea ra weal

Hymmnos line: Was yea ra weal

Glossed as: (not glossed)

Which means: (not applicable)

Kana reading: ワス イェア ラ {weal}

Romanized: wasu yea ra {weal}

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / yea = happy / ra = want to be like this / weal = {weal}

This is the sentence pieced together in the section where Luca and Cloche are alternating words for four lines. The word "weal" is not in the dictionary, but both "wael" (ワェール) and "weel" (ウィー) are, and either could make sense here. The first translates to "joy" and the second to "come true!" However, "wael" seems more likely, and I think it sounds more like that too.

Literal translation attempt: I am very happy for this joy.

xE rre sor a.u.k. akata rhaplanca.

Hymmnos line: xE rre sor a.u.k. akata rhaplanca.

Glossed as: ラプランカという少女の物語

Which means: The tale of a girl named Rhaplanca.

Kana reading: ゼ [ルル]レ ソァ アウク アカタ ラプランカ

Romanized: ze [ruru]re soa auku akata rapuranka

Vocabulary summary: x. = (holds own feelings) / rre = (indicates the subject follows) / sor = that, it / a.u.k. = is / akata = tale / rhaplanca = Rhaplanca (person)

Literal translation attempt: I gladly say that this is the tale of Rhaplanca.

Harr selena phira, ciel accroad 0 papana

Hymmnos line: Harr selena phira, ciel accroad 0 papana

Glossed as: 少女はひとり、小さな種を育てる その国に雨は降らなかた

Which means: She raised a small seed by herself. No rain fell upon that land.

Kana reading: ハ[ルル] セレナ ピラ シェール アクロード ネル パパナ

Romanized: ha[ruru] serena pira sheeru akuroudo neru papana

Vocabulary summary: harr = she / selena = play (music) / phira = seed / ciel = sky, (loose usage) world / accrroad = give to, inflict upon / 0 = 0 / papana = rain

As in EXEC_METAFALICA/., "selena" appears to effectively mean "raise" here.

Literal translation attempt: She raised a seed the world gave no rain.

xA rre maoh w.n.s. sasye, tYAnAmLYEn phira.

Hymmnos line: xA rre maoh w.n.s. sasye, tYAnAmLYEn phira.

Glossed as: 少年は少女と出会う。少年は名をマオといった 少年は共に種を育てることに決めた

Which means: A boy met the girl. The boy's name was Maoh. The boy decided to raise the seed with her.

Kana reading: ザ [ルル]レ マオ ウンス サシェ チャナムリェン ピラ

Romanized: za [ruru]re mao unsu sashe chanamuryen pira

Vocabulary summary: x. = (holds own feelings) / rre = (indicates the subject follows) / maoh = Maoh (person) / w.n.s. = visit / sasye = young woman / t.n.m.n = plant (seeds), grow plants / phira = seed

"xA" is perhaps the most common form of "x." and doesn't really say anything meaningful about the singer's emotion, except perhaps attentiveness to the content being sung of, since 'A' is the "focus" family of emotion.

Literal translation attempt: Maoh visited the young woman, and they raised the seed intently for the good of all.

Harr crannidale infel en kapa

Hymmnos line: Harr crannidale infel en kapa

Glossed as: 彼女は種に水を分け与え育てた

Which means: Sharing her water, she raised the seed.

Kana reading: ハ[ルル] クラニダーレ インフェル エン カパ

Romanized: ha[ruru] kuranidaare inferu en kapa

Vocabulary summary: harr = she / crannidale = share / infel = love / en = and (then), because of / kapa = water

What happened to the "love" in the glossed sentence? It's completely absent despite being plainly there in the Hymmnos.

Literal translation attempt: She shared her love and water.

xE rre herr en harr yEyYE phira art kapa enrer.

Hymmnos line: xE rre herr en harr yEyYE phira art kapa enrer.

Glossed as: いつしか人々も苗に水を与えるようになった

Which means: Eventually the people gave the seed water too.

Kana reading: ゼ [ルル]レ へ[ルル] エン ハ[ルル] {yEyYE} ピラ アルト カパ エンリャ

Romanized: ze [ruru]re he[ruru] en ha[ruru] {yEyYE} pira aruto kapa enrya

Vocabulary summary: x. = (holds own feelings) / rre = (indicates the subject follows) / herr = he / en = and (then), because of / harr = she / y.y. = heal, cure / phira = seed / art = by, via / kapa = water / enrer = always, ever

"herr en harr" (he and she) again appears to be a kludge for "everyone." "y.y." should be taken a bit more loosly here for it to make the most sense. Finally, "yEyYE" is so messy I'm not even going to guess what it would look like in kana.

Literal translation attempt: Happily, everyone always gladly nourished the seed with water that it might prosper.

Phira selena infel, ciel accroad 0 papana

Hymmnos line: Phira selena infel, ciel accroad 0 papana

Glossed as: その国に雨は降らなかった

Which means: No rain fell upon that land.

Kana reading: ピラ セレナ インフェル シェール アクロード ネル パパナ

Romanized: pira serena inferu sheeru akuroudo neru papana

Vocabulary summary: phira = seed / selena = play (music) / infel = love / ciel = sky, (loose usage) world / accrroad = give to, inflict upon / 0 = 0 / papana = rain

"selena" appears to effectively mean "give rise to" here.

Literal translation attempt: The seed fostered love, while the world gave no rain.

den, xA rre LYAglansee r.w. walasye Implanta

Hymmnos line: den, xA rre LYAglansee r.w. walasye Implanta

Glossed as: けれど神の大樹インプランタがあった

Which means: But they had the great divine tree Implanta.

Kana reading: デン ザ [ルル]レ リャグランズィ ルゥ ワラーシェ インプランタ

Romanized: den za [ruru]re ryaguranzi ruu waraashe inpuranta

Vocabulary summary: den = but, however / x. = (holds own feelings) / rre = (indicates the subject follows) / LYAglansee = the goddess / r.w. = help, save / walasye = human / Implanta = Implanta, the divine tree

"glansee" is normally an adjective meaning "exalted, great," but "LYAglansee" is a special case that I wouldn't know about if I hadn't seen a scan of something that mentioned it. It makes sense in a way, since "LYA" as a prefix more or less means "belonging to everyone".

Literal translation attempt: But the goddess saved mankind with Implanta.

AH, infel sos ar ciel

Hymmnos line: AH, infel sos ar ciel

Glossed as: 人々がみんなで育てた大樹。大樹は皆を潤した

Which means: The great tree they all raised. The great tree rained upon them all.

Kana reading: {AH} インフェル ソス アル シェール

Romanized: {AH} inferu sosu aru sheeru

Vocabulary summary: AH = {AH} / infel = love / sos = in order that, for the sake of / ar = the / ciel = sky, (loose usage) world

"AH" is likely nothing more than an exclamation.

Literal translation attempt: Ah, love for the world.

Was yea ra hymme ieeya en rannef,

Hymmnos line: Was yea ra hymme ieeya en rannef,

Glossed as: 謳えや、希望と感謝の詩

Which means: Sing a song of hope and thanksgiving.

Kana reading: ワス イェア ラ ヒュム イーヤ エン ラニェフ

Romanized: wasu yea ra hyumu iiya en ranyefu

Vocabulary summary: Was = very intensely / yea = happy / ra = want to be like this / hymme = sing, play, resonate / ieeya = hope / en = and (then), because of / rannef = thanks, reward

Literal translation attempt: We joyously sing of hope and thanks.

chanti ee ar ciel, infel yor.

Hymmnos line: chanti ee ar ciel, infel yor.

Glossed as: Sing praise for the irreplaceable world,

Which means: 称えや、かけがえなき世界

Kana reading: シャンティ ィエエ アル シェール インフェル ヨア

Romanized: shanti yee aru sheeru inferu yoa

Vocabulary summary: chanti = praise / ee = great, exalted / ar = the / ciel = sky, (loose usage) world / infel = love / yor = you (object)

Literal translation attempt: Praise for the great world, love for you.

ar ciel, en echrra eje.

Hymmnos line: ar ciel, en echrra eje.

Glossed as: 世界はひとつ、心もひとつ

Which means: The world is one, our hearts are one,

Literal translation attempt: The world and harmonized hearts

Vocabulary summary: w.n.s = visit / rhaplanca = Rhaplanca (person) / ween = inside of, in this situation / fandel = numerous, much / walasye = human

Literal translation attempt: (We find/visit +joy/all + purpose/object) Rhaplanca in all of mankind.
