Prayer : Lumière de l'espoir (Hymmnos)

Somewhat off the grid so... I finally made a (sorta) full version of the Prayer in the language of Hymmnos. What's Hymmnos you ask? It is a frictional language used in the Ar Tonelico game series. Hymmnos was designed in order to strongly convey the feelings of the speaker/singer.

 You can see examples of how the Standard Hymmnos letters look like from the banner of my blog.

Well... Here it is!
 _____________________________________________
Within the light of hope,
I shall pray,
Gently,
As your heart awakens.

Was touwaka erra sarla mea.
Was touwaka erra ieeya.

Fou ki ra presia reen ieeya mea.
Was touwaka ra enne messe yor.
Sos her ar dor oz manaf accrroad etealune.

Was quel ga presia pak hyma spiritum.
Was quel ga presia pak walasye revm.

Was zweie erra wearequewie pitod ween shen.
Was ki erra mea enne ryusse ciel.



Was quel ga presia pak manaf hynne.
Was quel ga presia pak walasye meo.

Rrha zweie erra wearequewie pitod.
Wee ki erra mea enne ryusse ciel
en yorra,
en dor.


Accrroad etealune her dor
ar dor pitod manaf.
Was quel erra accrroad yos warce
sos her ar dor oz manaf.


As you slowly awaken,
Gently I will pray,
With this song,
Within the light of hope.
Within the light of hope,
I shall pray,
Gently,
As your heart awakens.

I hope my song will last forever.
I hope this wish will last forever.

Please listen to my prayer.
I wish that it will reach you.
For this land filled with life,
Grant onto it an eternity.

One more time,
Please listen,
To the requiem of the souls,
To the dreams of the people.

In this light,
I wish that we all may be together.
So just this once,
Let my prayers resound everywhere.

One more time,
Please listen,
To the voices of life,
To the visions of the people.

I wish that we all may be together.
Let my prayers resonate everywhere
For the people,
For the land.


Grant upon it an eternity,
This land filled with life.
Grant upon it your blessings,
This land bathed within the light.


As you slowly awaken,
Gently I will pray,
With this song,
Within the light of hope.

So I tried to try to write a "prayer" for any future uses I might or might not have. So... Here goes!

The initial two lines were written in a language called Hymmnos. Depending on how I'll use it, might or might not take it out. The English translations are (just for those who can't tell) the two lines below it.

Haven't really settled down about the context behind this one. Not yet at least. Though any ideas would be appreciated. The current idea is that this prayer is used to awaken a sleeping entity, like a god or some benevolent creature, in order to bring peace and hope to the land, probably in turmoil with the forces of darkness or summat. Oh well, let's see what the future has in store for me.
