Hymmnos
The Hymmnos
アルトネリコの物語と歴史に深く関わる言葉体系『ヒュムノス』。レーヴァテイ ルたちの詩に込められた想いが見えてくれ。
[Hymmnos] is the name of the language that is deeply entwined with Ar tonelico's plot and history, and here, we will be showing you all the feelings that were put into the songs of the Reyvateils.
ヒュムノス文字の起源は古く、第一紀に音科学の父が「音魔法」を発見する前か ら存在していた。その頃はまだ「ヒュムノス」とは呼ばれていなかったが、当時 「月奏」と言われていた、いわゆる祈祷師が使っていた呪文列がヒュムノスの起 源となる。ヒュムノスはその後、塔のコントロールや交信に最適化された言語と してフォーマット化されていくが、その文法と単語の語呂などは、この祈祷師の 呪文列がベースとなっている。そこから世界中に汎用的に広がり、宗派などによっ て微妙にフォーマットを変え、また歴史によってどんどん単語などは変化していっ た。そのため、日本語などと同じく、ヒュムノスにも古文や方言が存在するので ある。なお、呪文に使われるヒュムノスのフォマットは以下の3種である。
The origins of Hymmnos and the Hymmnos script are ancient, and existed before the Father of Sound Science discovered the [Sound Magic] in the First Era. It was not yet called [Hymmnos] at that time, but the incantations that all sorts of shamans used, called [Moon Chanters] in those days, became the origins of Hymmnos. Hymmnos was later formalized as a language optimized for control of and communications with the tower, but its grammar and vocabulary sounds are based in the incantations of these shamans. The generic Hymmnos that spread throughout the world from there subtly changed format depending on the region and sect, and the vocabulary also steadily altered as history progressed. Therefore, archaisms, dialects, and so forth also exist in Hymmnos, just as they do in Japanese and other languages. Still, there are only 3 kinds of Hymmnos formats used for spells in the current times:

Hymmnos Extract
ヒュムノスエクストラクト
「塔をコントロールする詩」の事で、アルトネリコを直接制御できる力を持つ。 一般的に「ヒュムノス」と言われる場合、すべてはこの「ヒュムノスエクストラ クト」のことをさす。使うには「ヒュムネコード』というレーヴァテイル識別子 が必要であり、それを持っているレーヴァテイルは、コードを照合することで、 ヒュムノスエクストラクトを使用することが可能になる。これを使用すると、天 候のコントロールから重力制御、大地を揺るがす大魔法、詩魔法による全体統制、 環境コントロールなど、さまざまなことを行えるようになるのだ。
Hymmnos Extract is a name for the [Songs that control the Towers], so they have the power of directly controlling Ar tonelico. Usually, when talking about [Hymmnos], this kind is the one implied. It is this branch of Hymmnos that has the power to directly control Ar tonelico. For it use, it requires the Reyvateil that is going to execute it to possess a special identifier called the [Hymn Code], and after verifying it, the Tower allows the execution of said song. Reyvateils with access to Hymmnos Extract may perform great feats ranging from gravity manipulation to weather control, shaking the earth through the use of magic; completely control song magic, environmental orchestration, and much more.
Hymmnos Word:
ヒュムノスワード
「ヒュムノスワード」とは、いわゆる第三紀で「詩魔法」と言われているもの で、戦闘などで使う妄想魔法の事である。塔そのものをどうこうするわけではな く、塔から力を引きだして使う魔法。これはレーヴァテイルであれば誰でも使う ことが出来、自分の心の中にアクセスするだけで、そのバリエーションをどんど ん増やすことが可能である。コスモスフィアにダイブし、高いレベルのコスモス フィアでヒュムノスワード(=詩)を紡げば、より高度で強力な詩魔法が使える。使 用に制限はなく、心の豊かさ＝ヒュムノスワードの多彩さ、ということになる。
Hymmnos Words, informally known in the Third Era as [Song Magic], are mainly used for everyday tasks and combat, and are also called Imaginary Magic. For the use of this kind of Hymmnos, the Reyvateils don't control the Tower, but rather, they draw power from it for using their songs. Any Reyvateil can use them by just accessing their own hearts, which allows gradually increasing their possible variations. When Diving in their Cosmospheres, if they manage to craft a Hymmnos Word (Song) in a high Cosmosphere level, they will become able to use a much stronger Song Magic. There are no limits for its usage, so the variety of Hymmnos Words is entirely dependent on the richness of the mind of the Reyvateil.
Hymmnos Spell
詩として使用することはないが、詠唱することで発動する呪文文字列。レーヴァ テイルが唱えるものではない。ヒュムノススペルは、人間がレーヴァテイルや塔 にアクセスしたりコントロールする際に使用するもの。文法的には「ヒュムノス ワード」と同じだが、ちがいは塔内に全く同じスペルが登録されており、それと 同じ呪文列を詠唱すると実行されるだけのプリセット呪文であるということだ。 そのためヒュムノスワードと異なり、次々と新しいものを産み出すことは出来な い。主に、ヒュムノスエクストラクトのダウンロードや、隔壁認証などに使われ ていた。
It's not used as songs, but as chanted spells for putting into execution a program, and they aren't chanted by Reyvateils only. The Hymmnos Spells are used mainly for situations in which Humans need to access and control the Reyvateils and the Towers. Grammatically, Hymmnos Spells are identical to [Hymmnos Words], but they are different in that the Hymmnos Spells are completely registered in the Tower, so they execute pre-defined functions. Due to this, new Hymmnos Spells cannot be created, unlike how it is for Hymmnos Words. They are mainly used for the Download of Hymmnos Extracts and for the verification system in the Dividing Walls.
Hymmnos Dialects
Central Standard Note (Standard Dialect)
・中央正純律（共通語）
中央というのは、第一紀に詩魔法の中心であったアルトネリコのこと。つまりこ れは塔を制御するために最適化された呪文列だ。だがじつは他の律でも塔の制御 を可能。あくまでも、ソル・シエールの道都「エル・エレミア』の塔管理局が世 界標準と決めたものにすぎないのだ。
[Central] refers to the First Tower [Ar Tonelico], called the core of Song Magic in the First Era. In other words, the incantations optimized to control the Tower are called Central Standard Note. However, this is not to say that only this Central Standard Note can control it, and in practice it is possible to control it using any Note. That is to say, Central Standard Note is nothing more than the format that the tower administration in Sol Ciel's capital city [El Elemia] decided upon as a global standard.
Kurt Ciel Note (Ancient Language From Before the First Era)
・クルトシエール律（Ⅰ紀前古代語）
このクルトシエール律こそが、昔「月奏」が詠唱していた祈祷師の呪文であり、 ヒュムノスの原点である。現在はかなり忘れ去られており、ほとんど残っていな いと言われる単語体系なのである。アルトネリコが主にサポートするのは、中央 正純律とこのクルトシエール律になる。
This Kurt Ciel Note is itself a refined form of the spells of the shamans, the [Moon Chanters], and is the origin of Hymmnos itself. It has largely been forgotten in modern times, and it can be said that this line of vocabulary scarcely remains. The main Notes supported by Ar tonelico ended being both the Central Standard Note and the Kurt Ciel Note.
Cluster Note (Cluster Area Language)
・クラスタ律（クラスタ地方語）
ソル・クラスタ地域に伝わって確立されたもの。俗に言う「方言」であるが、実 際の効果は「中央正純律』とほとんど変わらない。現在、アルトネリコの周囲で これを使える者はいないが、世界のどこかには、クラスタ律が主体のコロニーが いまでも在も存在している可能性はある。
Passed down and established during the First Era in the Sol Cluster region. From the standpoint of Central Standard Note, it is a [dialect] of sorts, but the practical effect is scarcely different from it. At present, there are said to be none in the vicinity of Ar tonelico who can use this [Cluster Note], but somewhere in the world, a colony centered on the Cluster Note might exist even in the present day.
Alpha Note (Origin Spell)
・アルファ律（オリジンスペル）
「レーヴァテイル・オリジン」は、自らの心の中で最適化されたヒュムノス単語 を紡ぎす。そうしてできた単語のことを「アルファ律」という。このアルファ律 は、汎用性がないため少々厄介で。そのオリジンの管理する塔でなければ最大限 の力を発揮することができないのである。
The [Reyvateil Origins] can put together optimized Hymmnos terms in their own minds. Terms formed like this are called [Alpha Note]. This Alpha Note is somewhat troublesome due to the fact that it isn’t made to be all-purpose, and it is because it can’t exhibit its maximum power anywhere besides the Tower administrated by the Origin that made it.
Ancient Metafalss Note (Sacred Language from the First Era)
・古メタファルス律（Ⅰ紀神聖語）
第一紀に世界を席巻した、とある聖教が紡ぎだした律。その評しい歴史は闇に包 まれている。ところが、この律を使用した詩が現在でもそれほど珍しくなく出て くる。それだけ第一紀において大きな力を持っていたということだが、その宗派 がどのようなもので、目的が何かは謎。
This is a Note crafted by the sacred teachings of a certain region in the First Era. The details about its history are still shrouded in darkness, but it doesn't seem odd at all that a Note like this one is still being used in the songs at the present time. That is because this Note used to have the most power in the First Era, but who were the ones that made this Note, and for which purpose, it still remains a mystery.
New Testament of Pastalie (Pastalia Dialect)
・新約パスタリエ（パスタリア成語）
オリジンがついても紡ぎだせる「アリファ律』を除いては、唯一第三紀に作られ たといわれている律。詳細は現在のところ不明である。
Except for the new words crafted by the Origins for their [Alpha Notes], this is the only Note that has been created during the Third Era. At the present time, there aren't more details about it.

Fundamentals of the Hymmnos Grammar
もっとも特徴的なのが、ヒュムノス言葉が別名「感情言葉」 と言われるとおり、文章の中に必ず自分の感情を表現する言葉 が入るという点である。それはあくまで、歌い手(発言者)自 身の感情であり、二人称、三人称的な感情ではない。すなわち、 「自分自身がどう思っているのか」ということが文章の中に水 のようにとけこんでいる言語なのである。現在の日本語をはじ めとする「事象主体」言葉では表現しづらい「感情主体」の言 語であるが、例を挙げると以下のようになる。
The most characteristic part of the Hymmnos Words, as their informal name says (Emotion Words), is that the sentences have to contain the emotions of the speaker towards the things it says. Therefore, the singer (speaker) always talks about its own emotions, not about the emotions of a second or third person. That is, the part [How I'm feeling about myself?] is already implied in the sentence using words that distinguish themselves from the rest of the sentence clearly like water. We could compare this to the modern Japanese language by saying that its wording is focused on expressing [Events], while Hymmnos is focused on expressing [Emotions].
Was yea ra wael herr hyma ar wart 想音(そういん) 動詞 主語 副動詞 名詞 Emotion Sounds Verb Subject Secondary Verb Object
Was yea ra (Was iea ra) (とても嬉しい) (Very happily)
訳:「彼はその言葉を聞いて嬉しそうだった」と私はそれが自 分のことの様に嬉しい様を表現しながら語る。最初の「Was yea ra」で、上記訳の「」以外の部分全部を表しているのであ る。この「Was yea ra」の部分を想音といい、第一節~第三 節までの3つの単語で構成されている。なお、この文では「彼 は」という主語が入っているが、呪文として使う場合、主語は 一人称となる。ヒュムノスは二人称、三人称の文法は得意では なく、ふだんは主語なしの文章となるのだ。基本的には「SVOC」 などから「S」を抜いた「VOC」という形で、一人称以外の主 語がつく場合は第一動詞のあとにくる。最初のVは自分に向け ての動詞、次のVは誰か何をしたという動詞になるのだ。
Translation: [I was very happy that he listened that these words], and in there, I'm expressing that I was very happy about what happened, in the following way: the [Was yea ra] at the beginning, forms the part that expresses the feelings of the speaker towards the events in the sentence, and they, delimited by the [ ], are called Emotion Sounds. The Emotion Sounds are made from three words, each one corresponding to one level (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3), and if a subject is added to the sentence, then as if it were a situation of using a spell, the subject becomes the first person. Sentences in Second and Third person aren't very common on Hymmnos, so the majority of the sentences don't have a subject. Basically, the sentence structure of Hymmnos is [SVOC], with the [S] part being removed, thus, forming a [VOC] structure, though the subject can be put after the first verb in any sentence that isn't first person. The first verb indicates what the speaker is doing, while the second verb indicates what the subject is doing.
■Structure of the Emotion Sounds - Level 1 to Level 3
想音第一節~第三節の構成
想音の第一節は、Was(とても強烈に)、Ma(平常心)など、感情 起伏の度合いを示す単語がくる。第二節は具体的な感情で、yea(嬉し い)、wol(熱血)など。第三節は「自分はこの状況をどうしたいのか」 という単語で、ga(はやく脱したい)、ra(このままでいたい)などが くる。塔を制御する呪文として使う場合、焦っているときにはドアを早 く開けてくれるなど、塔はこの感情部分を汲みとる。想音がない文章は、 塔は呪文として認識しない。それを逆手にとり、わざと想音を外して謳 うこともできる。詩を聴かせたい対象が塔以外の誰かである場合は、そ うすることで「呪文」ではあく「言葉」として届けることができる。
The first level of the Emotion Sounds is composed of words such as: Was (Very intensely), Ma (calmly), which express the intensity of the emotion. The second level expresses the emotion itself, with words such as: yea (happily), and wol (feverously). Finally, the third level expresses [What I want to do with this situation?], using words such as ga (I want to escape this situation quickly), and ra (I want to stay like this). When used as spells for controlling the Tower, asking it impatiently to open a door will make it open quicker, and that is because the Tower can understand the emotion part of the sentences. If a sentence doesn't have Emotion Sounds, then the Tower doesn't recognize it as a spell. Because of that, it's possible to sing without using Emotion Sounds. In the situation when a song is sung with the purpose of conveying emotions to something else apart from the Tower, then it's not considered as an [Spell], but rather, they can be considered as [Words] that are being conveyed.

Mr. Tsuchiya gave to the artists an in-depth explanation about the essence of each one of the songs (the sentences published here are extracts from these explanations). [The Feelings of this Song] is basically the same as if each one of the artists had taken the feelings recorded in a Hymn Crystal, Downloaded them into themselves like the Reyvateils do, and crafted a song out from these feelings. In short, these Hymmnos were created with the same methods that are used in the game.

巫女は今日も舞う、その華麗なる舞う ただ見る者は人ではない、数多の魂と獣、 そして龍 岩戸の側に佇む村、その村には使命があった この世界と、ここならざる世界を繋く力場、岩戸 その岩戸より出でし鬼共を、この世界より退け戻すこと その為、村には使命を全うする巫女がいた その巫女は鬼達の前でのみ踊ることを許された舞の巫女 今宵も鬼達の宴が繰り広げられる 鬼は巫女の舞を楽しむ 鬼が巫女の舞の虜となれば、眠りこの世を去る だが、鬼が舞に飽きたならば、巫女はその場で食べわれる 死と隣り合わせの舞、己の力のみが全ての舞 いつからこのような定めを背負っているのか 判らぬほどに年月は経ち 巫女もその意味を問うことはない ただ己の定めを受け入れ、その責務を全うするのみ 己の運命は、この世界と共に 己の死は、この世界の死と共に
The Priestess dances again today, her magnificent dance Is being watched not by human beings, but by countless souls, beasts, and dragons Beside a stone door stands a village, and that village had a mission This world was tied to a an awful fate, because of the stone door From behind that stone door, countless monsters lived, and tried To push their way back into the world Because of that, a Priestess was in the village to accomplish the Mission of keeping them trapped The Priestess began to dance in front of the monsters, and the Monsters kept watching her Tonight, she once again opens the banquet of the monsters The monsters enjoy the dance of the Priestess If the monsters are bewitched by that dance, they will leave This world by sleeping eternally But if they lose interest in that dance, the Priestess will be Devoured by them The death accompanies each movement of my dance, and because Of that, I shall use all of my strength to continue dancing. How long I shall have to be burdened by my fate? It is a burden that has lasted beyond what years and months Can measure The Priestess does not know the meaning of that either Still, she accepts her fate, and continues accomplishing her duty My fate is also the fate of this world My death is also the death of this world

The virus ELMA-DS has the ability to change from energy to physical matter (Flip-Flop Conversion) whenever it wishes, however, during the time this Song it's being sung, it becomes unable to do that conversion. Misha's version of the Purger was made to give a feeling of multiple Asian ethnic kinds of music.

災いをもたらす眠りの姫、それが私に付けられた二つ名 この世のものとも思えない異形の者達を呼ぶ 時にそれは悪魔であり、時にそれはもののけであり しかし私は目ざめと共に、ごくありふれた町娘となる。 それは夢の中での話 夢から生まれた悪魔は、悪魔のままにして終わればそれで良かった だがしかし、私にはそれが許されなかった 悪夢より生まれし別の人格は、その瞬間現実と化し、この世界に現れる 夢から目ざめるまでの間、その悪夢は現実となり 悪夢が現実であるその時、現実は虚像となる 高名なる催眠術師も、偉大なるトランキライザーも、 災いをもたらす眠りの姫を口説き落とすことは出来なかった なぜなら私は被害者でなく加害者であるから それらは全て、私が私自身の深く唯蒼い海の中で望んでいる現実 遠い過去に受けた深い深い傷は、生々しい跡となりて その亀裂よりこの世と海を通じ合わせた 蒼い海は現実を飲み干し、それでも飽きたらず無すらも喰らい尽くす ならばせめてそのことだけでも受け入れましょう そして私が生み出したこの現実ならざる者を この世からパージ散らす責務は負いましょう 今ここに誓う 痛みを耐え傷口を塞ぎ、その獰猛なる邪魔を切り離さんことを
The Princess that shall send to sleep the calamities, that Is the second name I was given I beckon all of the abnormal beings that do not seem to Belong to this world Sometimes these are demons, sometimes these are spirits Still, I was the one awakened in the town overflowing with girls. That is the story of a dream The demons were born from a dream, and if everything ended As the demons wanted, it would be all right. However, I would never forgive myself if that happened. The nightmares are born from the mind of each person, and in The instant they are incarnated, they appear in this world Until the time they awaken from these nightmares, the nightmares Will continue being real During the time that the nightmares are real, the reality turns in No more but a simple illusion. Not even the most renowned hypnotist, not even the best tranquilizer, Would ever be able to surpass the princess that will send to sleep the calamities. Because there were never victims from the attacks of the demons All of those are the reality that I am wishing for, inside Of a deep, blue sea In the faraway past, I received a very, very deep scar, And it has left A very vivid image in my heart The blue sea will swallow the reality, but if does not, Then the reality Will be consumed until nothing is left behind. If I am attacked, the only thing I shall do is receive The blows Because I am not the one that gave birth to this reality. I shall carry the burden of Purging and dispersing the evil From this world I pledge so now Enduring the pain, these wounds shall close now, and I shall detach now All of these ferocious hindrances from this world.

パージャという詩魔法は、音科学的な言いかたをするならば、紡ぎかたを失敗し て暴走してしまった詩魔法を消滅させるためのデバッガーのような詩魔法。その応 用として、導力 (エネルギー) 体と物理体の移行が楽にできる敵に対し、そのど ちらかに縛ることができる。オリカが謳うパージャは、雰囲気としては北欧アイ リッシュ系多重録音(ブルガリア系込み)。
The Song Magic known as the Purger, when looked from the scope of Sound Science, it's a Song Magic that was designed for debugger usage whenever a newly crafted song ran out of control and began causing disasters. But for it's more practical use, it allows the singer to fight enemies that are able to change between energy and physical forms, restraining them to just one of these forms. The Purger sung by Aurica brings about an atmosphere of multiple song styles from Northern Europe (mainly Irish and Bulgarian styles).

幼く清楚で純真無垢な少女よ、 この私の全てを知りたいか？ 齢も忘れ、遙かな時を過ごす我が記憶、 今こそ封を解くとき そしてお前の記憶と我が記憶が、ひとつになるとき その昔、我は創られた 数多の人々の想いを受け、 この地の全てを統べる者として しかし我は傀儡の身、 その全ての力には人の想いを捧げる必要があった 人々は、一人の娘を生け贄の祭壇に 引き上げなければならなかった 村で一番の歌い手、 癒しの少女はその使命を全うするために選ばれた 幼く清楚で純真無垢な少女よ、この私の全てを知れ この世界の森羅万象全てを知れ その代償として、未来永劫死ぬことを捨てよ そして、未来永劫生きることも捨てよ 忘れな娘よ、残酷な常世の国 公の幸せのために、 個の幸せをいても簡単に奪い去る世界 家族との別れ、恋人との別れ 全ての愛しきものを捨て、 お前は私と一つになるというのか？ 少女は目を瞑り、一言伝えた 『私の御魂はこの地に舞い降りたときより貴方と一つ 私は生きることも死ぬことも望まない』。
Oh, young and pure-hearted girl, Do you desire to know everything about me? You shall forget your age and gain my memories, which Go far beyond the beginning of time, Now is the time to release the seal, And then, your memories and my memories shall become one. You will receive the feelings of countless people That created me a long time ago, As the being that was to control everything in this land. However, I have only the body of a puppet, And for all that power, I had to give up all the feelings I had as a person. The people, against her will, dragged up a single girl To the top of the sacrificial altar. She was the best singer of her village, A healing girl that was chosen solely to accomplish this mission. Oh, young and pure-hearted girl, learn everything about me. Learn about everything that was created in this world. But in exchange for that, you will have to abandon all of The perishing beings for the rest of eternity, And also, all of the living beings. Oh, forgotten girl, cast into the faraway netherworld For the sake of the happiness of everyone, Even in a world where it is so simple to take away the Individual happiness, Detach yourself from your family, detach yourself from Your beloved people, And abandon all of the things you love. Do you still say that you wish to become one with me? The girl closed her eyes, and simply replied: "I was one with you since the time when my soul descended upon this land, I don’t desire to live or to die".

特定の管理者ではないレーヴァテイルが塔をコント ロールするための詩魔法で、塔とレーヴァテイルを直 結するプログラムにより全てサービスを自由に操作でき るようになる。カイエルはこれを悪用して、オリカの 中にウイルス体ミュールを入りこませようとした。音 楽のイメージ的には感動的でも正義的でもなく、むし ろ 『怪しい儀式的』。
Whenever a Reyvateil that isn’t specifically the Administrator in charge of the Tower sings this Song Magic, she executes a program that directly connects her to the Tower and allows her to freely control all of its services. Kyle misused this song to implant the Virus Mir inside of Aurica's mind. The image that we intended for this song was neither a moving nor a righteous one; rather, we intended it to sound as music for a [Suspicious Ceremony].

The world that lost the land, The world that lost the sky, In this world, where there is a limit, Where we cannot go beyond that limit. Everyone calls this place a dead world, Which goes only towards its own demise, Everyone just calls this place a ruined world, However, Try to listen, in the middle of the meadows, Try to listen, While you look at the magnificent clouds running Over the cliffs, To the murmuring of the streamlets, the throbbing Of the trees, The whispers of the wind, the shine of the clouds... The world where you live, Is not a ruined world at all. One breadth of grass, And one bug, are both lives that breathe the same Air as all the other living beings. Try to see and feel the respiration of this world, Then, you should be able to harmonize with the pulse Of this vigorous world.

詩を魔法の力のために使うものとしか見ない世界に対するアンチテーゼとしてクレアが歌う。 具体的に魔法的な効果があるわけではなく、聞いていて安心する、癒される、心に訴える歌。 歌い手の『声』で勝負する曲。
Claire sings to be the antithesis that opposes to a world that just sees the Songs as a tool for using the power of magic. This song does not have any concrete or magical effects, but hearing it calms down the mind, heals, and appeals to the heart. This is a song that focuses on the [voice] of the singer.

私は貴方の子守歌 其れは貴方の守護の為、其れは貴方が尊き故 少女は生まれたときから違った 天を裂き、地を揺るがし、その歌声は遠く地平の彼方まで風に乗せて送ることが 出来た 人々は神の子と恐れおののき、そして神の子はいつも一人だった しかしある日、狩人の少年と出逢ったその日から少女は変わった 少女は一人ではなくなったのだ 狩人は言う 生きとし生けるもの、全ては等しく生き、等しく死ぬ そこに何の隔たりがあろうか 少女は思う この少年と永久に幸せを紡ぎたい この忌々しい力を封じ、普通の少女となりて 少女は歌い手となり、各町を駆けめぐるようになった 少年は奏者となり、少女の歌を護り続けた しかし少女の力はその僅かな幸せをも奪い去る 少年と引き離され、王の前へと立たされる神の子 しかしその口は一度たりとも開くことなく、王の意志と返する結末に 王は少女の自由を奪った 暗い鉄の檻の中、謳うこと以外を封じられ、ただ声だけを強要された そして流れゆく長い歳月 少女は娘となり、当時少年だった若者をいとおしく懐かしむようになっていた その間も若者の『想い』は全く変わらず ただ城へ忍び込み、娘を助ける日を、鷹の目のように鋭く見続けていた そんなある日の王国祭、若者は城へ潜入する そして数年ぶりの再会を果たしたのだ 娘を涙し、若者は娘を抱きよせた しかしその幸せは数刻もなかった すぐさま見つかり捕らえられ、若者は今にも斬り殺されそうになる 娘は叫んだ、そして謳った 遙か10数年前より一言も口を訊かなかった娘 その娘が歌い始めた 城は火の海と化し、祭は災厄へと変わった 王は娘を斬り捨てた その傍らで抱くかかえ、必死で守る若者と共に 力とは何故、それを必要としない者に舞い降りるのだろう 力とは何故、それを権力に変わえない優しき者に呪いを放つのだろう 神の子よ、力の子よ もし貴方が権力を忌み嫌い、尚悠久のいのちを欲するならば その力、身体と共に眠りに就かせよ さもなくば、その力災いとなりて、己の身に降りかかろう 私は貴方の子守歌 其れは貴方の守護の為、其れは貴方が尊き故
I will be your lullaby That is for your protection, because you are very precious. The girl was different since she was born, Her singing voice was capable of rending the skies, Making the earth rumble, And could be transported by the wind even beyond the End of the faraway plains. The people feared her as a Child of God, and because of That, she was always alone However, a certain day, she met a young hunter, and from That day on, the girl changed. Because she did not want to be alone anymore. The hunter said to her: "All the living beings are the same, all are born the same Way, and die the same way. Then, why there have to be differences separating us all?" The girl thought about it... She wanted to craft happiness eternally with this boy. She sealed that annoying power off, and became a normal girl The girl turned into a traveling singer, going to all the Towns in the world to sing. The boy turned into a music player, and continued to protect The songs of the girl However, the power of the girl took away that small happiness From them. She was separated from the boy, and brought in presence of the King when it was discovered she was the Child of God. However, she was unable to open her mouth even once, and in The end, for opposing to the will of the king, the girl was Robbed of her freedom. Inside of that dark cage of iron, the girl was not able to Do anything but sing, yet still they forced her voice out From her. And in this way, the time continued flowing onwards. The girl grew up, and at the same time, the young man that Once was a boy began missing his beloved. During that time, his [feelings] for her did not change Still, he watched carefully the castle, like a falcon with Its sharp eyes, Awaiting for the day in which he could sneak in and save His beloved. And on that day, during the festival of the kingdom, the Young man infiltrated in the castle Finally, they had reunited after so many years The girl cried, while the young man embraced her However, that happiness was not going to last for long... Immediately as he was found, the young man was arrested, And promptly decapitated... The girl shouted in horror, and began singing enraged The same girl that no one wanted to heard since more than Ten long years ago As soon as the girl began singing, The castle became a sea of fire, and the festival changed Into the scene of a disaster The king came in and killed the girl Before dying, she went beside the young man that so many times Had protected her from certain death, and embracing him, she Closed her eyes for the last time... Why the power has to descend upon the people that does Not need it? Why the power has to release a curse upon the gentle people That does not want to abuse others? Oh, Child of God. Oh, Child of Power. If you detest so much the abuse, and only wish for an Eternal peaceful life Then I shall send to sleep both your power and your body. Otherwise, that power will turn into a calamity that Will befall upon you. I will be your lullaby That is for your protection, because you are very Important.

星詠が自らの自由と引き換えにミュールを封印しておくための詩。これが謳われ ることでクレセントクロニクルは力を発揮し、超高速で塔の中を動き回るシャドウ をつかまえバインドする。曲は、ミシャが決意をして謳う、その厳粛な緊張感か ら始まり、サビではコラースが前面に出て、勢いでミュール封印するというイメー ジ。
This is the song that the Star Singer has to sing to keep Mir sealed, but in exchange, it takes away her own freedom. The singing of this song activates the powers of the Crescent Chronicle, and it is the only way of binding the ultra-high-speed movements of Shadow inside of the Tower's systems. In regards to the melody, since we decided that Misha was to sing it, we wanted to give the image of vigorously sealing Mir, and for that, we decided to give an air of solemn tension to the start, and let the choruses take the front part during the hook of the song.

If your precious person Gets angry at you for any reason, That is because she really likes you. Never think that she gets angry because she hates you, But if you do not pay attention to her, That will only greatly enrage her. Do you really care about your partner? If that is the case, how do you care for her? Do you really consider the happiness of your partner? How? That will never bring true happiness to her, And that is, because of this: to grasp the true happiness You do not need anything more than an honest smile. Whenever I get angry with you, It is because I really care about you Whenever I stop you from doing something, That is because I am thinking about our happiness. Oh, that is what I intend to convey to you. The people simply does not know how to convey this To their partners, And if they do not know how to do it, Then, they never will be able to truly understand Their partners. Why? Why do you have to Be so cold to me sometimes? But, please, do not stop trying to find the reasons For that inside of your own heart And even if you think a lot about it, You might not be able to grasp the answer to that question... However, there is only one thing I want to say: If you have enough courage to hear it, Then I will show you that the answer to that Question is pretty simple: That is because you are the most important Person to me in this world, That is because you are the person I love The most in this world.

使命を全うするために、先へ先へと進むことばかりで、優しい心を忘れ かけているライナーへのクレアからのメッセジ。『愛情の絆』というタイトル で、テーマは『本当に愛するというのはどういうことなのか』。あくまで『声』、そ れもソロとしてのとてつもない力を持った、ピンとその場を制するような歌が クレアの歌。
This song is a message from Claire to Lyner, who was so concentrated in only going forward and forward to accomplish his mission, to the point he had forgotten about having a gentle heart. The title means [Bonds of Love], and the theme is [You say that you really love me, but your actions say the same?]. To the very end of the song, the [voice] of the singers, even when singing a solo, carried an unbelievable amount of power, and Claire's songs really seem like they truly carried and controlled such a power.

It has been used for fighting Inside the inextinguishable the flames of battle, It is the cursed book that the vanished things Will never forgive, That is what I have to tell you. My life in exchange for this world, But that will not stop my death in compensation, Walking and wandering endlessly in the abyss of darkness, Without being able to rot away, Continuing to suffer in the never-ending passing of time, Without anyone to save me, Just to end crushed inside the lonely darkness. Are you waving your hands to me? If you are doing so, Then, please, just stop trying to take my hands To raise me away from this darkness.

I shall carve a curse on myself, and bury myself in the flames of hell The dead ones will never forgive if I died in vain I am turning into the cornerstone to seal the demon king That has driven this world to the brink of destruction. Because the seal would be broken if I died, And the demon would still reduce this land to ashes. On that moment, I wish to become the new sacrifice for this world. Still, the new sacrifice does not need an eternity Because I will become the sacrifice for this beautiful world. Just a person is enough for this world. When I was still an innocent girl, It was already decided that I was to carry that burden, So I just do not wish to see anyone to suffer anymore Or else, if I offered my body as an exchange, Would I be able to become again an innocent girl? Oh, valiant knight, Please, you must not waste the happiness you have now.

高き高き星降る山より、一羽の鳥が舞い降りる 白く、純白より白く輝く羽根を纏ひて、 その目は遙か遠く、希望の未来をしかと見定めていた 二度と見ることが無いと思っていた眩しい光 永久に封印される定めの書庫、その一角にある禁断の本 幾千年もの間、この本が我の姿だった 幾千年もの間、この書庫で呻きを上げていた 我が声があった 今その我が、光降り注ぐ大地に両足をつけ、 長い黒影の華奢な身体を風に靡かせ 手のひらを光に透かし、おもむろに口を開き 歌い始めている 何千年ぶりの歌は、震えた声で辿々しかった だが、それを受け入れてくれる者がいた それは純白の鳥を肩に載せし若い騎士 お前が私の封印を解いたのか？ そして、魔王を倒したというのか？ 憶えているとも 我が口が輸し、家路に就かせてしまった青い騎士 まさか再び逢おうなどとは思いも寄らなかった この地に足をつき、手と手を取り合って逢おうなどとは 辛かった、苦しかった、呪われし日々の記憶 涙が出るほど嬉しい、この世界への再生 だが騎士よ、お前には護るべきものはなかったのか？ その身、朽ち果てるやもしれぬ我の開印行うなど その白き鳥のように、唯気ままに生きるのみなのか 騎士は答えた 私は唯気ままに生きる身だった だが今は違う 貴方の封印を解いたとき、一つの呪いにかかってしまった 我が為に呪いを受けてしまったというのか そう、永久に貴方と共に生きたいという、幸多き呪いに
The stars are falling beyond these tall, tall mountains, And a single bird flies down. It is enshrouded in white feathers, clearer than the Purest shade of white And these eyes were just gazing at the faraway horizon, Grasping a future Filled with hope. You never thought you would be able to see the dazzling Light again That your fate of being eternally sealed was set in stone, But that was Just one part of what was written on the forbidden book During many thousands of years, this book was the form I had During many thousands of years, I moaned against my fate I still had my voice Now, I shall set my feet again over the land in which the Light downpours, While the slender black shadows are carried off by the wind The light filters through the palm of my hand, and I Slowly open my mouth To begin singing a song. Singing after so many years, my voice was trembling, And still, there was a person to accept it. And that was a pure white bird perched on the shoulder Of the young knight You broke the seal that kept me imprisoned? Then, you defeated the demon king? We remembered together: I told the blue knight to go back home, And I did not think that we would be able to meet again, And walk upon this land, taking each other's hands The memories of these accursed days, filled with Bitterness, filled with suffering... And I began crying of happiness, for being able To be reborn in this world. Still... oh, knight, there is no other person That you must protect? Your body is destined to end rotting away, and yet, You released the seal that was binding me. Are you just living in a selfish way, just like that White bird on your shoulder? The knight just replied: Yes, I was just living in a selfish way when I Still had a body. However, now it is different. When I broke your seal, I received just one curse. You say that you received a curse just for my sake? Yes, the curse I received is living eternally Beside you, and I will be extremely happy to do so.

休止状態にある塔を活動状態にもどす詩で、これを謳うことで塔の全機能が復帰 する。自らが犠牲となって塔の機能 (電源) を落とし、ミュールの復活を阻んだ アシュレリアを目覚めさせた、この詩のテーマは『希望』『再生』。優しい声と メロディと、サビ辺りでふわっと花が開くような展開。その後また静になるとい う流れて表現している。
As the song that returns the Tower to active mode from the hibernation mode caused by Suspend, when this song is sung, all of the functions of the Tower are reinitialized. And since this song also reawakens all those who were sacrificed when the functions of the Tower were shut down, such as what Shurelia tried to do to prevent Mir's revival, the themes of this song are [Hope] and [Revival]. We intended that the gentle voice and melody, together with the floating hook, gave the impression of a flower blooming. And even after that, it still sounds and flows quite gently.

As the song that Mir had crafted wishing for the happiness of the humans, its function is to calm the hearts down. Misha sang it not only to remind Mir of the feelings she had back them, but also, as an apology for having sealed her until now, and she sang adding to it her own feelings, hoping that Mir would accept them. Since this song was sung to Mir, we decided to not use the emotion sounds in the gentle choruses at the start of it.

Thank you, for these words. Thank you, for your gentle gaze, filled with love Let us break the curses of the past I have accepted everything now. I had forgotten about it... Whenever the children bring forth a disaster, The blame of that Befalls not only on the children, But also on the parents that raised them. If the parents go to the west, the child Goes west as well, If the parents go to the east, the child Goes east as well, There is not any kind of malice in that. They just have an innocent heart that only Believes in what their parents tell them, Even if that brings unhappiness to them, And if the parents only passed on burdens for Their children to bear, They will end forsaking the world, like their parents, And end having only a lonesome life. If the parents pass their own distorted feelings To their children, Then, that will only pass to them obligations that Will lead them to a dishonorable death. But I have realized it, Even if they are still inside of that Accursed fate, There are also children that try their Best to have courage, There are also children that try to Advance a step forward, Trying to break the curses that history Has passed on to them, Even if that involves raising in revolt Against their great progenitors. There are also children that realize That they have to change, No one has realized that because The curses of the past have been hidden away, But still, I have already seen them, So I have already realized that. Thank you, for these words. Thank you for your gentle gaze, filled with love Let us break the curses of the past I have accepted everything now. You, who do not discriminate anyone, Who is filled with love, and whose hands are filled with warmth. I shall offer myself to you as well, As if I was enshrouding you with all of my friendship.

As the song that was crafted by everyone on the world, its effects are a mystery. Actually, its effects are the normalization of the functions of the Tower, but Shurelia did not know that there was another effect hidden in it, and that is an automatic orbital adjustment. In other words, things such as [atmosphere] and the [weather] are changed in a better direction so it raises the spirits of everyone, so it could be called an anionic song.

If you sometime were to hide your tears, Then pour that pain into a song and listen to it The shifting time is hidden inside a lute, And while it chews on the trembling feelings, one by one, By being somewhere another person that sympathizes with your heart, We all become connected by a great wheel, Your feelings will ride the wind and cross the sea, Because they will go and connect to the farthest of the cities. The plains of peace, the glass of the tears, The box of memories, and the silk threads of the feelings. Each word you say contains power, And they overlap each other, flow and cross each other, And entwine with the breath of the spirits of the wind. These trembling lips are whispering a melody close to your ears, If you gently close your eyelids, you will be able to feel the pulse of all of them, The pulse of all the hearts melting into one.

The History of Hymmnos
ヒュムノスの歴史 348: 現在確認できる最古の単語『chs』の生まれた年号
Year of the oldest word discovered thus far: [chs]
この頃はまだ詩としてでなく、祈りだったと言われている。すなわち 『chs (チス)』は、大切なことがあるときに目を瞑り呟くような、例 えるなら『アーメン』のようなもの。この言葉の発するときのスペク トルが、高周波において特徴的な高波数を奏でることが、第一紀 に解明されていることから、ささやかな奇跡は確にあったのかも しれない。この頃のヒュムノス単語は、現在の形とは少し異なる。
During these times, it was not used for songs, but rather for prayers. Namely, [chs] was only used for extremely important ceremonies, and it was to be muttered with the eyes closed, like, for example, the catholic prayer ender [Amen]. When the Spectrum of this word was discovered, it became known that it played a characteristic frequency between the high-frequency waves, and according to how it was explained in the First Era, it might have caused some modest miracles. The Hymmnos words of this time were somewhat different from the ones used in current times.
421: 文章として残されている最古のものが確認されている年号
Year of the oldest sentence discovered thus far
文章は 『Was yea ra chs hymmnos mea』。
Said sentence is [Was yea ra chs hymmnos mea].
440: 『月奏』という言葉が見つかっている、最古の記述
Year of the first written mention of the Moon Chanters, and oldest description of them found thus far.
この頃の書物によれば、『月奏』の超常的な力により、人々は大き な恩恵と被害を被ったとのこと。時の権力者は、どれだけ優秀な 月奏を抱え込めるかでその力が決まったとも記されている。
Based on the written testimonies of this era, the [Moon Chanters] were people with supernatural powers, which could bring to the people both great blessings and great damage. The rulers of these times embraced the power of the Moon Chanters as great things, and chronicled them in such a way.
1883: 月奏が衰退してくる
The Moon Chanters fall into decay
人々が世界を『目』で見るようになってきたため、『実証主義会社』 が形成、それにより、実証不能な力を使う『月奏』は人々の関心か ら外れる。その力の源不明や不安定さから、迷信とも言われ、ま た支持者からも『月奏の神秘の力は、人の心から失われた』と言 われた。
Because the people began to believe only in the world they could see with their [eyes], the [Realistic Society] was formed, and besides, the unrealistic power that the [Moon Chanters] used fell out from the interests of people. The unknown source of their power, coupled with how unreliable these powers were, gave rise to superstitions, and even their supporters ended saying [The Moon Chanters have the power of the Gods, but have lost the heart and trust of the people].
1919: 宗主国メタファルスが世界中の月奏を呼び、音の力を国家の力とする
独自の言語体系を根気よく編み出す
The suzerain state of Metafalss summons the Moon Chanters around the world, to begin harnessing the power of the sounds. Patient creation of a peculiar dialect.
しかし、この頃のメタファルスについて語る書物は少ない。国自体 も余り認知は高くなったようである。
However, there is not much information written in the books about the Metafalss of these times, even though the country itself gained quite a reputation in the world after this event.
2912: 唄石の力が一介の月奏(音科学の父)によって発見される
The powers of the Songstones are discovered by a Moon Chanter (the Father of Sound Science)
歴史的瞬間。この年から『第一紀』と言われる時期が始まる。こ の時期、まだ音科学とヒュムノスは関連付けない。『月奏』の言葉 による超常効果と、波動スペクトルとの関係が見つけられなかっ たため。そのため、人々はヒュムノスではなく、直接『導体D波 (D DW)』をジェネレートすることに必死だった。ある程度実証試験 は可能となり、水などの簡単なものを産み出すことはできるように なったが、実際に昔の『月奏』がやったとされるような、火竜の幻 を舞わせたり、人を回復するというようなことは到底無理だったと いう。
This was an historical moment. This year was the start of the epoch called the [First Era]. However, Sound Science and Hymmnos did not have any relation during this time, and that was because the relationship between the paranormal effects of the Moon Chanter language and the wave spectra was not discovered until later on. Because of that, people did not use Hymmnos, and grew desperate to be able to directly generate [Dynamic D-Waves (DDW)]. Under these circumstances, people began experimenting, but everything they could do was produce simple effects such as creating water from the air, but effects caused by the [Moon Chanters] a long time ago, such as calling forth the illusion of a fire dragon, or healing people, was simply impossible to provoke for them.
2940: レーヴァテイル計画発足
Inauguration of the Reyvateil Project
しかし、この頃のレーヴァテイル計画は、導体D波を使うものでは あったが『音を基幹とした構成』ではなかった。そして当然詩を謳 うような考えもなかった。
However, the goal of the Reyvateil Project in this era was just to allow the people to use Dynamic D-Waves naturally, but not [creating beings that have sound as their core]. Thus, they did not think about letting the people sing and craft songs naturally either.
2973: 音科学とヒュムノスが、この年で邂逅する
Sound Science and Hymmnos cross paths in this year
迷信として、百歩譲っても不安定な力としてしか認識されていなか ったヒュムノス。しかし、次第に『ヒュムノス』という言語体系が 唄石にもたす効果の、奇跡的な力を実証できる可能性があると 注目され、研究が始められる。それまで『迷信』として研究対象に もならなかったヒュムノスが、ここで初めて注目されるのである。
Just because of the superstitions, and the unwillingness of the researchers to test with an unreliable power, they did not want to experiment with Hymmnos. Gradually, they realized that the [Hymmnos] language carried effects related to the Songstones, and wanting to observe them to prove the possibility of it producing miraculous powers, they began their investigations. Until now, they did not want to focus their investigations in Hymmnos because of the [superstitions], but in this point in time, they noticed for the first time how useful the language was.
2982: 肉声に含まれていた極超短波が発見される (定常H波の20000Hzより上の帯域)
Discovery of the presence of ultra-high frequency waves in the composition of the human voice (Static H-Waves of bands higher than 20000Hz)
この研究はこの後、長い時間をかけて熟成されていくことになるが、 初基の頃、すなわちアルトネリコという塔が運用し始めた頃はまだ、 巨大なデータベースに過去に使われていた単語とその効果をがむし ゃらに記憶させていただけだった。即ち『原初の塔』は、超絶な力 を持ったロボット月奏でしかなかった。
After this investigation, it required a long time to finally mature as the basis for more important matters, namely the use of the Tower of Ar tonelico, which was not able to be used yet because it still needed to have an enormous database that had recorded all of the words that were used in the past, together with their corresponding effects, which was considered as a very reckless move. Namely, that means that they did not wish to make the [Tower of Origin] as a robot Moon Chanter with absolute power.
3001: ωスペクトラム(第4軸展開のFFT)の発見により、ヒュムノスを計算で分析できるようになる
Discovery of the ω Spectrum (fourth-dimensional expansion form of the FFT Spectrum), allowing the analysis of Hymmnos.
ωスペクトラムは、詩の全容を、時間の枠を越えて数値化するもの である。簡単に言えば、人間は詩を謳うとき、一瞬にしてその詩の 全容を思い出すことができる。頭の中だけならば、その詩は時間 軸の概念を逸脱しているわけであり、それを謳っている時にも脳内 では終始その状態が続く。ωスペクトラムは、謳っている瞬間の周波 数成分と極超短波 (想いの波動) との掛け合わせによって、そ の状態を数値化したものである。これにより、塔は『想い』を紡ぐ ことができるようになっていく。
The ω Spectrum is the depiction of a song crossed over the time axis, allowing its reading and measurement. Simply put, when a person sings a song, in each second they sing they are able to completely remember the song. Even if it’s just inside of the head, because the song is separated from the concept of time, the person is able to sing it, and that brain condition continues from the start to the end of the song. The ω Spectrum allows to disassemble the component wave frequencies in the time axis, and also, allows to join the ultra-high frequency waves (the waves of feelings), allowing the people to read and measure the conditions of these waves at any given time. From this, the Tower is able to act from the [Feelings] it receives as if it was crafting them itself.
3018: エル・エレミアの塔管理局が、ヒュムノスの国際標準規格・中央正純律を立案
The Tower Administration Bureau of El Elemia introduces the draft for the International Standard Norm for Hymmnos: The Central Standard Note.
a~z、A~Zのヒュムノス文字52個が国際標準として定義される
The International Standard of 52 Characters (a~z, A~Z) for Hymmnos is established.
3022: レーヴァテイルに関する考え方を転換する
Change in approach to the investigations related to the Reyvateils.
2040年から研究し続けてきたレーヴァテイルプロジェクトが、大き な矛盾と頭打ちを迎え暗礁に乗り上げたのだ。
They were continuing the investigations of the Reyvateil Project that started in the 2040 year, but came at a sudden halt because of the great contradictions and limits they encountered.
3027: レーヴァテイルの素体ができ始める
The prime field of the Reyvateils begins being developed.
この頃から、戦闘用の、兵器としてのレーヴァテイルという考え方 が生まれてくる。そしてそのことが皮肉にも、レーヴァテイルと塔ア ルトネリコをつなげた。レーヴァテイルが塔のリソースを100%使 うことができたなら、レーヴァテイル一人が理論上塔1つ分の威力 を持つ兵器になりうるからである。
Around this time was that the idea of producing the Reyvateils as weapons for warfare sprouted. And even if it sounds sarcastic, they also thought of connecting the Reyvateils to the Tower of Ar tonelico. If a Reyvateil was able to use the resources of the Tower to its 100%, then it was theorized that only that Reyvateil was the one to have complete administration over the Tower, and become quite a weapon.
3031: α試験初のレーヴァテイル完成形、初号体"エオリア"誕生
Functional Reyvateil of the α-testing phase completed, birth of the First Origin "Eoria."
