I presume you are talking about the theme song. Lilium - Lily is the song, it is Latin. The Lyrics are as follows Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam, Et lingua eius loquetur indicium. The Mouth of Justice is meditating wisdom, and his tongue is speaking of a sign. Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem, Quonium cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae. A happy man who suffers temptation, Since he is with approval, they receive the crown of life. Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison Oh Lord, Fire by divine power, have mercy! O quam sancta, quam Serena, quam benigna, quam amoena O castitatis lilium Oh, how holy! How serene! How kind! How pleasant Oh Lily of chasitity.
first Latin is both a language and a family tree and is not usefull today exept that it is used most in medicine and to give name to new plants animals... planets... and as i wrote before latin is a family tree so Italian, Portoguese, Spanish (and a few more) wil be easyer to learn and that because they are not realy the same but theyre similar to each other... if we take as an example Norwesian and Swedish are from the same family tree so its easier for a swedish person to learn Norwesian... so Latin is like a base but from my point of wiev i think is a bit pointless to learn latin since first off all its quite hard to learn (depending what language you speak) and then spanish or Italian is more like a semplificated version of latin in wich more people uses in most of latin based countries and this goes for all other Families lyric from the anime elfen lied (its in latin) Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam, | The Mouth of Justice is meditating wisdom, Et lingua eius loquetur indicium. | and his tongue is speaking of a sign. the link to the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EoCGwHz3T0
