NieR: Automata | A Beautiful Song | Opera Boss Lyrics

  • If you didn't already know, I attempted this video before, with the audio from the opera boss trailer from last year or so, the audio on that trailer was vastly inferior to that of the game's final version, so here I am updating it. Gameplay footage was recorded by myself.
    The text at the top of the screen is written in "Celestial" or "Angelic" script, not completely accurate, I only put it in for the Aesthetic bonus.
    You can learn more about celestial script here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celesti...
    These lyrics aren't at all official, just a fan transcription, feel free to use them in any covers or anything you plan on doing, and whilst I'm not going to hunt you down for not crediting, it would be appreciated if you could link to this video.
    The language sung in many NieR tracks, (Excluding ashes of dreams and The weight of the world) is not a proper spoken language, and is actually a mish mash of several real world languages to create a fictional portrayal of the language drift between today and the game(s) setting.
    You can find my less accurate original here: • NieR: Automata | Opera...
    Lyrics:
    intro:
    Imsemne ho gresi hjaltär
    Renta rura vresti lupre
    Drestau
    - Verse 1
    Syaltha savlejum petchouli
    Pyala tortelru sprei yalhai
    Merwi struberun marftür
    Milfrin tro mildwan dracht nien
    - Verse 2
    Whesal elsï
    Wehsi menzal
    Wehsï wehso ür au re
    Enhi gezdal
    Yensta melsa
    Werseren nahri sa tör
    - Verse 3
    Nehzï tolwe wro
    Zi zïze he reä
    Gyalge toze ne ma meete
    La drïte re ze
    - Verse 4
    Eh ulmen asa wa rare
    Bumba etwüre borë
    Ulman azewa dae ïrze

    Just wanted to say thanks for 50k views, that's really awesome.
    A big thanks to everyone who shared this video on Reddit, twitter etc, you've really helped this get some exposure.
    I know I haven't been all the active lately, it's my last week of college and I literally don't have time to do anything apart from work so pardon me.
    Once I'm done with college I'm gonna take a little more to relax and just play games to chill then I'm gonna finish the End of YoRHa which I have started transcribing.
    Thanks again everyone.

      I thought the same thing the first time I played this game. As I was fighting Simone I could only image what the words were about and how they pertain to this little bots madness. How the rejection made her go insane because of her human perception of love and that you need to be beautiful to be loved.
      You can see this big machine isn’t her real body. You see her real face on her chest.

      My head cannon is that chaos language was actually not made by humans, instead it was created by androids since they have access to all human languages. The androids look up to humans because they saw humanity at their best, fighting for existence. And so they created chaos language based on the languages of humanity. The ‘ancients’ who created the language may actually be the original androids that worked alongside humans before humanity got wiped out. The language itself doesn’t need to have meaning as it’s more ornamental, something to remember humanity by.

    2022 UPDATE: I wrote singable english lyrics! I wasn't satisfied with my previous interpretation so here ya go! Cheers to 2022!
    -
    A gilded rose has much allure
    Although it bears brutal heartache
    in thorns
    -
    One day, he might just look at me
    Someday true love may spark, so I'm
    Dressed in silks and steel heartstrings
    Oh my dear, you are my dream...
    -
    Countess of blood
    Metal adorns
    Consumed in pride and treach'ry
    Will it be clear
    Pining and vice
    Will never soothe her longing
    -
    Look here, I've changed now
    Love for you I vow
    I hope that this song may reach you
    Why do you turn away?
    -
    Screams are such a joyous sound
    It doesn't matter who's cut down
    Flowers will perish without
    Beauty
    --ALT LYRICS
    One day, he might just look at me
    I wait until that day dawns
    Dressed in silks and silver heartstrings
    True love waits for no machine
    Countess of blood
    Metal adorns
    Consumed in pride and treach'ry
    This flood of oil
    Pursuit of youth
    How can these soothe her longing?
    Look here, I've changed now
    Love for you I vow
    I dream that this song may reach you
    Why do you turn away?
    Why won't he accept my heart?
    In the end things only fall apart
    Flowers will perish without
    Beauty

    Zi zïze he reä = "Viver sem ela" = To live without her
    Gyalge toze ne ma meete = "E agora que consegui partir " = And now that I managed to leave

    A Beautiful Song (Lyrics I Hear) [English Edition]

    There’s something wrong, it’s the husband,
    Get on the run, just a moment, to smile.
    Suffer, save the unfortunee’s,
    Here lies, the dead restrained, yeah.
    I love thee, to there and after,
    Even you, kneel down, down here.
    This song we sing,
    With silver tongue,
    We sing this song to honor her.
    Begin the song,
    This turmoil song,
    For even then she fought hard.
    Nothing to let go,
    Feeling the halo.
    I can’t go setting my feeling,
    Languish the pain,
    Some day.
    Only if someone else,
    Far more equal adoring,
    Oh my there’s someone else, please stay.

      When the line "feeling the halo" comes, simone literally attacks you with halo hoops...
      If you see closely, most of her attacks are just unique fountains and patterns of energy balls and rings meaning she is still trying to look beautiful even during the fight...
      All the more, I like to think that she is just dancing around using different moves just to look beautiful what we (9s and 2b) perceive as a fight....
      I think if 9s or 2b just told her that she is beautiful, there wouldn't even be a boss fight at all....

      @@Victor-056 it always sounded like laughter from madness or something, since Simone was clearly unhinged and emotionally charged, hence the screaming throughout the fight as well. Thematically, I could definitely see it being either…or both even. The distortion from the machine like voice makes it hard to tell…which is very “Nier” like. That’s a cool way to look at it though.

    Verse
    Now I’m, filled with all this beauty
    Surely, now I am worthy
    Please love me
    Doing this for you
    And you still won’t look at me
    Chorus
    Born with beauty
    Love does know you
    If you would just look inside
    She’s too far gone
    She dimmed her light
    Tearing herself, that’s beauty
    Verse
    Now I can see that
    I destroyed what was,
    Who i am or who I’ll be
    ‘S unknown
    I can’t stop
    Now I am someone else
    Thought I could become worthy
    But you still won’t look at me
    Please Look!

      In DoD the watchers are called 天使(angels) in Japanese, because they are sent by the gods to destroy humanity. The written language they used in Drakengard is called the Angelic Alphabet(Celestial Alphabet), which was created by someone in the 16th Century in the real world. The font itself was not created by the composer of the songs, but exists before that, DoD and Nier simply used it in their games. Chaos is the language she sang in. Get your facts straight.
