The song is called "Cantus" and is sung by a different artist on an album called "Celtic Women, Voices of Song." It is a religious song about Mary and Jesus. The song is absolutely beautiful.. :) And the lyrics are: Personent hodie Voces puerulae Laudates jucunde Qui nobis est natus Personent hodie Voces puerulae Laudates jucunde Qui nobis est natus Summo Deo datus Ideo, ideo, ideo gloria in excelsis Deo
I messaged Kitsune the lyrics and translation of the lyrics for singing along, hopefully he will put it in description, and if not I can post in comment soon when youtube let's the [enter] work in comments for me XD
Attempt at lyrics from ear for those who want to sing along: Personent hodie Voces puerulae, Laudantes iocunde Qui nobis est natus (2) Summo Deo datus Ideo, ideo, Ideo gloria, in excelsis deo His the doom, ours the mirth When he came down to earth Flower of Jesse's tree Born on earth to save us, Him the Father gave us, Ideo, ideo, Ideo gloria, in excelsis deo
Interesting use of greek/latin/hebrew letters in there to code in your english sentences, I thought it was just a phrase in Latin until I decoded the letters hehehe.
Anyone who is curious, the sentence in the beginning says "This is who we are."
And the last one says, "And there is no denying it."
@raxo00swing Yes it is :) But this version is very different, they took alot of the lines out and I love how the music is, it seems haunting yet the lyrics are joyful.
theyv got nice voices and all that but it its more catholic nun stuff than celtic all the celtic songs had something to do with positive things adding the pictures dont realy go sry to say if yer gona relax someone u shud quiker drag em to hell no offence man.
This version seems to cut be sung by someone else but it's the same melody and lyrics.
The very original is called
Personent hodie, which is a Christmas Carol
The original has a happier melody and is often sung in a choir while the Cantus version took many lines out in the first minute and a half (what we're listening to now :) )
The person at 0:46 is not an elf.
It's Serge, the human protagonist from "Chrono Cross".

Okay, honestly, I don't remember the name of the song. It was ripped from one of my mom's Celtic cds. If it helps, its a chrismas song.

I.E Song of the Elves AKA Elven Song

Elfen Lied mean's Elf Song
and manga's don't have songs
24DarkieAyrinsign24 2 years ago
The song in the manga IS from an actual song known as Elven Song.
Get this. The anime was adapted from the manga. Elfen Lied means Elven Song. Elven Song was replaced by Lilium in the anime.
And there IS an Elven Song in real life, composed by the same person who composed Lilium. Hugo Wolf.

To johnnydepp905, the song is mostly in latin. Here are the lyrics.
Personent hodie/Voces puerulae/Laudates jucunde/Qui nobis est natus
[repeat] Summo Deo datus
Ideo, ideo, ideo gloria in excelsis Deo
His the doom, ours the mirth/When he came down to earth/Flower of Jesse's tree/Born on earth to save us/Him the Father gave us
Ideo [...]
