Please let me know the chorus (refrain?) between the song
aria means air, doesn’t?
Not exactly, Aria isn’t a japanese word but italian. And it is used to refer an accompanied elaborate melody sung (as in an opera) by a single voice.
BUT you are right in a way, the origin of aria is Italian, which means literally, atmospheric air, modification of Latin aer.
THANKS MERRIAM WEBSTER!
Can anyone tell what does Maya sing when Hikaru starts singing “ne, hito wa itsu made hitori de…” right after the Kajiuran chorus? :O
^ Its the same stanza sung by Hikaru but with different timing, if you listen closely.
ouh! thanks george~ >_< i just realise it~
but i really hope that someone can find the full chorus of this song instead at the above.
I love the website, i love her music and compositions, thanks for all the songs you write.
I’m sure I won’t get an answer to this, but I figured here would be the best place to ask: Does anyone know what the background chorus means? Or even what language it is? I can’t find it anywhere! I’m starting to think it may just be random gibberish, but I really want to know cause I’ve been looking forever and have never seen a single thing about it…
^ It’s Kajiuran, a made up language by Yuki Kajiura. It doesn’t have any meaning, it’s just made to sound right with the music. So you’re right essentially. It is random gibberish.
^ Oh, wow, such a fast response, thank you! It definitely sounds nice anyway 😀
does anyone know about the…
“salalimaiya kon soledia solte imiya delta”
i got it from gendou
^ Yes that’s what there was on this page before it got changed by ninetales. I dunno if I agree with the new one yet. [EDIT] I just listened to it and I agree with the new one more.
^ I found only that sonori means sound in italian =3=
Hello 🙂 ….I really want to sing all the chorus parts of this song. where can i find the lyric? And i think the past chorus lyric is more preferable…just my opinion…:)
Use whichever you prefer, after all there are too few official kajiurago lyrics arounds (Jr, credens justitiam, lotus)
MT the fact that some KAJIURAGO words actually have a meaning in some language or another is a mere coincidence. I have also noted some Spanish, and of course Latin.
But some Italian would come natural to Yuki Kajiura since she has composed with it in Canta per Me.
I found this:
salalimaiya kon soledia solte imiya delta
salalimaiya solte idiya marti amida kuo
salalimaiya solte idiya marti amida kuo
estoni
ilelche imiya
salamiya amia
iya abita
salalimaiya solte idiya marti amida kuo
salalimaiya kon soledia solte imiya delta
estoni
ilelche imiya
salalimaiya solte idiya marti amida kuo
it’s the 2009 version chorus. I couldn’t find the chorus lyrics of the 2010 version….:'(….i collected this from: http://www.nautiljon.com/paroles/kalafina/aria.html
thought it might help those who are like me….:)
Don malalicha iwe eeyayeiya maeya solalo malicha, kamideta
eiyaheiya sa malideta
nee, hito wa itsu made hitoride
(keiko: Kono yamanai ma rakuda mo bara de)
futari ni kogarete yuku no darou
(keiko: futari ni kogarete yuku no darou)
mada kimi no kirei na mirai wa
(keiko: mada kimi no kirei na mirai wa)
hajimatta bakari
thia is from what i heard, i’m sorry if the parts that keiko sang are wrong
when hikaru sang “nee, hito wa itsu made hitori de” and Keiko sang “Kono yamanai ma rakuda mo bara de”, Wakana also sang “Solta Idiya Nami Dito”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6KjVOWBe4g
I think there’s a word missing between “konsore” and “sorte”. It sounds like “niya” or “miya”.
ciao …
I just want to make you notice that garan it means also ’empty’ even if the right translation was temple (it’s intentionally ambiguous ,i think as in karano kyoukai )
that means these are fantastic lyrics !!!!!!!
kajiura san ha saikou da !
This song calms me so much, it’s like my feelings are being expressed.
before Wakana/Maya and Keiko sing
“yasashisa wo shiranai
kimi ga kureta yasashisa ga
garan no kono mune ni
na mo naki hikari wo
tomoshiteiru”
Wakana sings
‘kimi no kakera
kimi ga…’
I think it is sounds like “Kanmara emitai maeya eya maeya san maricha kamita, eye meya san maricha”. I found this in a karaoke of their song. Others include, “Salarimariya kon soredia solte iviya delta, salarimariya solte idiya marti amida kuo”, “estari”, saravi avita, dianfi avita”, “fidithui miriya”, solte iviwo adito”, “arta inio adito”.
*eya
While Hikaru sings the following stanza:
“Nee hito wa itsu made hitori de
Futari ni kogarete iku no darou
Mada kimi no kirei na mirai wa
Hajimatta bakari”
Keiko sings this:
“Kono yamanai namida no naka de
Futari ni kogarete iku no darou
Mada kimi no kirei na mirai wa
Hajimatta”

Was Maya still there when they sang the studio version? I can’t seem to hear her voice
While Hikaru sings the following stanza:
“Nee hito wa itsu made hitori de
Futari ni kogarete iku no darou
Mada kimi no kirei na mirai wa
Hajimatta bakari”
Keiko sings this:
“Kono yamanai namida no naka de (In this endless tears)
Futari ni kogarete iku no darou
Mada kimi no mienai mirai wa (The future without seeing you) – diff from Hi
Hajimatta”
Dose any one know the last section was sung by Maya or not in the sprinter/ARIA: Track 2 ver.?
Garan here must mean “empty to an extreme degree” rather than “temple”, (see the link) with the kanjis for temple used as an ateji – also because the “garan=empty” meaning comes etimologically from “garandou” (large temple hall), which gave a sense of emptiness. See also:
https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%8C%E3%82%89%E3%82%93%E3%81%A9%E3%81%86
Given the ateji, probably the best rendering would be something like “… This heart of mine, (that was as) empty as a temple hall”
Also because, grammarily, garan no mune means “the chest (heart) of the temple” and not “the temple of the heart” (that would be mune no garan).
