Hymn of the Fayth

[Del Murder]

I'm sure this topic has come up before, but what does it translate to, if anything?

[TheAbominatrix]

If the old topic is still around, I'll dig it up. Basically, it doesnt translate directly into anything. But when read... I think it was if you line up the lyrics and read from top to bottom as opposed to right to left, it translates into something. *goes to look*



The Hymn of the Fayth Lyrics are just individual Japanese symbols in no particular order.

I E YU I
NO BO ME NO
RE N MI RI
YO JYU YO GO
HA SA TE KA NA E
KU TA MA E

However, if aligned properly and read from top to bottom, the traditional reading style of Japanese text, then this reads the sentence:

Inoreyo, Hatenaku Ebonju.
Sekae tamae,
Yume miyo, Inorigo

...which translates to:

Pray now, for Yu Yevon,
who will not go away.
For the sake of prosperity,
Dream now, the Fayths of Yevon.

D got it from 'someone wiser than him' that wasnt me, so it's a mystery :D
