Title: アレルヤ (Alleluia | Hallelujah | Αλληλούια: From the Hebrew word הללו יה which means “Praise Yah(weh)“). The term is used also to refer to a liturgical chant in which that word is combined with verses of Scripture, usually from the Psalms. This chant is commonly used before the proclamation of the Gospel.

未来は君に優しいだろうか緑の雨が君を濡らすまでまっすぐにまっすぐに行けるだろうか泣けるだろうか全てが静かに燃える日まで	mirai wa kimi ni yasashii darou ka midori no ame ga kimi wo nurasu made massugu ni massugu ni yukeru darou ka nakeru darou ka subete ga shizuka ni moeru hi made	Until the green rain gets you wet, I wonder if the future would be kind to you? I wonder if you could go straight ahead, straight ahead? Till the day everything burns quietly, I wonder if you would be able to cry?
アレルヤ祈りは何処にも届かず消え失せて僕らはうずくまったまま夜明けをやり過ごして	areruya inori wa doko ni mo todokazu kieusete bokura wa uzukumatta mama yoake wo yarisugoshite	Alleluia Our prayers vanished without reaching anywhere. We continue to cower till the dawn passes us by.
あかるい方へあかるい方へきっともがいて何度も泣いて僕らはゆく僕らはゆく	akarui hou he akarui hou he kitto mogaite nando mo naite bokura wa yuku bokura wa yuku	We’ll head towards the light. We’ll head towards the light. Surely we’ll go on struggling and cry again and again, But we’ll go on….we’ll go on…

こんな小さな君の手を取っていたいほどかがやきがあって幸福(しあわせ)の記憶だけ残したいと願いながら優しく無意味に消える日まで	konna chiisa na kimi no te wo totte itai hodo no kagayaki ga atte shiawase no kioku dake nokoshitai to negai nagara yasashiku muimi ni kieru hi made	If I hold your hand that’s so small, there’s a shine so bright that it hurts, while wishing to leave you only happy memories, until the day they disappear without a meaning.
アレルヤ全てのいのちが歌うときが来るって信じて雨の中で両手ふりかざして踊って	areruya subete no inochi ga utau toki ga kuru tte shinjite ame no naka de ryoute furikazashite odotte	Alleluia Believe that the time comes for every life to sing Raising our hands and dancing in the rain
笑ってるんだ笑ってようよ涙の海で抜き手を切って未来へゆく未来へゆく	waratterun da waratteyou yo namida no umi de nukite wo kitte mirai he yuku mirai he yuku	We’re laughing, let’s keep laughing. We’ll cut a path in this sea of tears. We’re going to the future. We’re going to the future.

小さないのちをふりしぼってふりしぼってふりしぼってきみのみらいへアレルヤアレルヤアレルヤ	chiisa na inochi wo furishibotte furishibotte furishibotte kimi no mirai he areruya areruya areruya	Give strength to your small life, strengthen it…strengthen it… For your future Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia

You hear “aria” as opposed to “ahhhh” in the intro kajiura-go?

george1234 says:

No, its 2 different things, Yuriko first says “aria” and then “aaah”. To find out for yourself, open alleluia in audacity and then use the ‘vocal remover’ filter (try one of the 2 first vocal removing options in the menu of the filter) this will make the background vocal clearer.

0:12 It’s “Sonti mia”
0:26 It’s “ahh”.
Where do you hear “aria”

October 11, 2013 at 4:12 pm

its not just me hearing it but a second person too, please try listening again carefull after doing the process I suggested before.

I love this! I always find myself smiling while listening to it. Partly because it’s been some time since Keiko was the main act. 🙂

Yeah there is indeed an “aria” at the beginning. george1234 isn’t wrong!

Thanks for posting the lyrics, I love this song so much.

um. what about the aria ah before hikaru’s solo? I didn’t hear any aria at that part. only areruya three times. o_oa

i lol-ed so hard at the comment below mine.

inochi could be spelled/read as inoch (the -i was read, but it doesn’t clear), and to keep up with the beat, Hikaru sang it as like that. and there’s no language in this world that have inowo chwo as something in their vocabulary, lol. You shouldn’t believe what you hear, but read the kanji provided in the booklet. that’s the official lyrics.
