Red sand dances on the cracked earth The blue sky is unsuitable, but really beautiful I sing a song in a loud voice waiting for the arrival of rain for ever and ever The well is dried up, and it gives only stones The palm tree planted on the day I was born has withered The flowers decorating window is going to die My tears are not enough to moisten them Oh sun! Apollon's light! We don't need your kiss! Oh winds and clouds! Bring the rain! Pour water onto the palms of my hands! Oh sun! Apollon's light! Get away before dark! Oh winds and clouds! Bring the rain! Pour water onto this body! The dried lips tasted like sand I got used to the scorching pain of throat I'll sing and pray again and again Even if I feel hopeless again and again "That spring has already dried up long ago" "But wine is more than enough!" Dirty eyed drunkens are dancing with Bacchus beneath the Milky Way People's hearts are going to wither Is my song not enough to encourage them? Oh stars and moon! Deneb's light! We don't need your hug! Oh thunder! Come with rain! Pour water onto the palms of my hands! Oh stars and moon! Deneb's light! Get away before the dawn! Oh thunder! Come with rain! Pour water onto this body!
I gotta thank you for introducing me to such an amazing artist, never heard of Blackmore's night before, but just listened to Ghost of a Rose after seeing your comment, and I'm IN LOVE
What a beautiful song and at the same time something sad because it is a song begging for rain, these days of extreme heat and drought...it is sorely needed, agriculture is bankrupt due to lack of rain where I live (Spain, In southern Europe it is usually crazy temperatures...) So I'm going to enjoy the song and sing it for the rain!
@@Niyucuatro It sounds more like a prayer for rain in a drought, than Renessaince-style dedication to such believes. Also, Ancient Greece music kinda sounded a bit like Celtic Folk too.
Cette femme chante vraiment bien, je l'ai découvert en jouant au jeu ar tonelico sur ps2. Je trouve que sont œuvre est particulièrement impressionnante. Je suis pas fan de chanson japonaise, mais je dois avouer que elle est vraiment une belle exception. Merci Madame pour votre œuvre !
Je trouve aussi :) si t'as le temps, regarde donc aussi les chansons de Kokia, je trouve que ça ce ressemble un peu et certaines sont vraiment superbes.
Lison B. Effectivement kokia chante très bien je connais aussi. Elle fait partie des 3 chanteuse japonaise que je peux écouter. La 3ème étant Miyuki Nakajima ( 中島みゆき ) Auteur compositeur interprète qui a sortie sont premier album en 1975 et qui continu d'en sortir aujourd'hui malgré toute la J-pop idiote. Écoutes et dit moi des nouvelles
If you like this song, you should check a lot of Akiko Shikata's song. She's a great singer and songwriter. Pantalea, Ta Ga Tame no Sekai, Chronicle Key... try to check those songs (Sorry, for now I just remember those... But believe me, she has a lot more than that).
I don't know if you know, but Akiko Shikata sang quite a few songs for a PS2 JRPG series called Ar Tonelico. That's how I found her, and I've been listening ever since. Check out songs like Ar Ciel - Ar Dor, Exec Phantasmagoria, or Salavec Rhaplanca!
Something along those lines..."Under the far too sunny sky..." I'm not a translator, and I'm not fluent, but as far as I can tell the song is about singing for rain in a drought. I'm fairly certain that the picture was actually made specifically with this song in mind. I could do a rough translation, if anyone's THAT curious.
Sounds perfectly at home as battle music in a sword-and-sorcery fantasy setting. In fact, that was where I first heard this song: on an instructional video for my favorite MMO game, Perfect World International. Specifically, the video was for the dungeon Flowsilver Palace in its extra-challenging Judgment Mode, and this track plays when the creator-player's party is fighting the dungeon's bonus-boss: Belle Leun, the Mad Princess. Imagine fighting wave after wave of summoned minions as you're spamming your AoE, doing your damnedest to knock the Mad Princess off her pedestal, and then, what's this? Looks like the Tyrant Prince, whom you thought you'd just vanquished, has gained his villainous second wind! You'll have to be brave and nimble to triumph over the deadly decadent court...

ひび割れた大地に 赤い砂礫(されき)が舞う
不似合いな程の 青空が綺麗
私は高らかに唄を 歌って
雨の訪れを 待ち続ける
井戸はカラカラで 小石しか出ない
私が生まれた日に 植えた椰子(やし)も枯れ
天窓の花も もうすぐ萎(しお)れそう
私の涙では 水が足りない
太陽よ アポロンの灯(ひ)よ
あなたの接吻(くちづけ)はいらない
風雲(かぜくも)よ雨を連れて
手のひらへ降り注げ
太陽よ アポロンの灯よ
日暮れ前に消え去れ
風雲(かぜくも)よ雨を連れて
この体へ注げ
乾いだ唇 砂の味がした
焼けつく咽(のど)の痛みにはもう慣れた
何度も唄って 何度でも祈ろう
何度も絶望に苛(さいな)まれたとしても
「あの泉は枯れた もうずいぶん前に」
「だがワインだったら まだ十二分さ」
酒場の男らは 濁った目をして
天(てん)の川の下で バッカスと踊る
人々の心は いまにも萎れそう
私の唄だけでは 力が足りない？
星月よ デネブの灯よ
あなたの抱擁(ほうよう)はいらない
いかづちよ雨と共に
手のひらへ降り注げ
星月よ デネブの灯よ
夜明け前に消え去れ
いかづちよ雨と共に
この体へと注げ
+冨岡美里
スゲェ
歌詞と共に試聴すると神曲か！
こんな歌詞だったんだずっと聞いてたけど知らんかったw
ありがとーーーーーーーーーーう！！！
なわけねーだろ
あぁ、おすすめで出て来てとても好きなのですが、歌えないですね…
The fact that this song was recommended to us 13 years later after it got uploaded...
夏のあっっっっっつい日差しに当たってるとなぜか聴きに来たくなる
でも冬にも聴いちゃう…
久しぶりに聴きに来た。志方あきこさんの声、頭から離れないんだよな
もしこの物語の続きが気になるのなら「祈りの果てのひとふり」をどうぞ
Dziekuje bardzo panu!
とても綺麗な雨乞いの歌だ。
乾いた大地の様を、同じく乾いた人々の心をこれでもかと言うほどに表現した、神に懇願する詩。
そしてそれは人々の心にも響く唄
12年前になるのか…昔好きだった曲を久々に聞くとめっちゃ感慨深いんだけどわかる人いる？
わかる急にききたくなる
すごくわかります、もう12年も前なのですね……
親のパソコンをこっそり使って聞いていました
No
It reads like a vesper, or a prayer, for rain.
本当志方あきこさんは声のバラエティーに富んでいて素晴らしいな...
全く忘れてたけど、またまたここまで流れ着いて聞いたら、昔よく聞いてた曲で鳥肌がすごい
なんか民族的な感じがする？こういう感じの歌好き！
なぜかまた聴きたくなる不思議な歌です。
リズムがなんか好きでついつい聞いちゃう…
この体へそそげぇぇぇえ のえっ↗︎が好きです
志方あきこさんの曲はどれも良いけど、今は無き曲達が好きだったりする。
小さいホームページの時から好きだから、大分長いな。私も
Red sand dances on the cracked earth
The blue sky is unsuitable, but really beautiful
I sing a song in a loud voice
waiting for the arrival of rain for ever and ever
The well is dried up, and it gives only stones
The palm tree planted on the day I was born has withered
The flowers decorating window is going to die
My tears are not enough to moisten them
Oh sun! Apollon's light!
We don't need your kiss!
Oh winds and clouds! Bring the rain!
Pour water onto the palms of my hands!
Oh sun! Apollon's light!
Get away before dark!
Oh winds and clouds! Bring the rain!
Pour water onto this body!
The dried lips tasted like sand
I got used to the scorching pain of throat
I'll sing and pray again and again
Even if I feel hopeless again and again
"That spring has already dried up long ago"
"But wine is more than enough!"
Dirty eyed drunkens are dancing with Bacchus
beneath the Milky Way
People's hearts are going to wither
Is my song not enough to encourage them?
Oh stars and moon! Deneb's light!
We don't need your hug!
Oh thunder! Come with rain!
Pour water onto the palms of my hands!
Oh stars and moon! Deneb's light!
Get away before the dawn!
Oh thunder! Come with rain!
Pour water onto this body!
Thank you
出勤時毎日聞いてるけど志方さんサイコーです
雨降ってあげて
一番好きな歌だし歌詞も結構覚えたしボーッとしてると頭の中でこの歌流れてくるw
この画像の全部が好き
it's like hearing blackmore's night with a definitely Japanese feel
brilliant and I am happy to hear this artist for the first time
Ha! It's awesome to meet another Blackmore's Night fan here. ^^
Anyway it's awesome, even if I don't understand a thing, lol. :3
now that you mention it they sound very similar lol
I was "only" hope I can empathize with all these tunes :lol
Yeah it has that 'feel' into it.
I gotta thank you for introducing me to such an amazing artist, never heard of Blackmore's night before, but just listened to Ghost of a Rose after seeing your comment, and I'm IN LOVE
懐かしいの見つけた！志方さんはアルトネリコ初代で好きになりましたね☆これは定期的に聴かないと♪
It's a blessing to be recommended this song.
民族長が大好きな私にとって志方あきこさんは最高のお方

It somewhat reminds me of celtic music I love this song!!
its greek
すごい！！
カラオケで歌う為に一生懸命細かい音程を覚えるの大変。
あと重複感じが息が続かない。
年取ったな。
Medieval Europe + Japan = Perfectness.
Song references Greek gods and apparantely dedicated to Classical Greece more.
@@BraUnY74 Renaissance Europe?

I don't usually listen to Japanese artists like Shikata Akiko but dang her songs are like agh!
If you like Shikata Akiko you may also like KOKIA, she has a similar style of music.
@@Soren59 KOKIA is A-Kiko but we put the a at the end.
もう10年も前なんだ…
声質とても好きです。
Awesome Shikata Akiko Haresugita Sora no Shitade Video.
雰囲気大好き
looks like im in the ancient side of youtube again today
lets see how far can i go today
良いわ～これ。一目(耳)惚れしました。
バックのコーラスも自分で多重録音してるんですねぇ。
すき。
あきこさんやっぱり声綺麗!!!
突然おすすめに出てきたけど昔めっちゃ聞いてた曲だ
懐かしくて泣いた
最近、あまりに酷暑が続くので、雨乞いの意味も込めて、『祈りの果てのひとふりの』と１セットで聴いている😥☀️
Reminds me of Record of Lodoss War, and Lodoss TV in particular. Glad to have found Shikata's work.
綺麗な歌✨
First place I ever heard this song. Fell in love. Now I proudly own the album

I never get tired of listening this songs...
the best music I've listened to!
It is the best song I have heard all the time, I love it!

"Haresugita Sora no Shitade", it means something like "Under the clear sky".
are you still alive?
Sounds Medieval ,amazing !
haha that was the first i thought too when i heard this :D
美声。
なぜこの曲に惹かれるんだろうと考えていたら、あれだ、トルコの軍楽に似ているんだ。
ギリシャじゃない？アポロンがどうのとか言ってるし。
De mis artista musicales favoritas ♥ Akiko Shikata
結構好きなタイプの曲
雨乞いの詩って感じがギンギン伝わってくる。
i love her!!! so amazing ALL songs!! ... i just wanna travel with her songs all my life!
Thanks algorithm for bringing me back to more Akiko Shikata
素敵!
A beautiful song pleading for rain.
大好きです ！！
自動翻訳字幕で全く違う言葉が出てくるの面白い
This is like, a very legit song. Like, jesus, I really really like this.
It's lovely isn't it?
I strongly recommend listening to more of Akiko Shikata's music if you haven't already. This is only one out of many great ones!
I can't stop listening to this!
お祭りしてる村人に交ざり、こっそり抜け出してきたお姫様が踊ってお姫様を守る護衛騎士とのひと時の思い出な感じしますよね
Idk youtube been recommending these type of song and I just love it. Reminded of old PS1 and PS2 jrpgs

I want this album to be on spotify :(
心に響く
멜로디가 좋아서 그냥 들었는데 알고보니 절박하게 비가 내리기를 기원하는 노래였네 가사를 모르면 흥이 나는 이국적인 노래지만 사실 생존이 달려있는,절박함 속의 외침이었다
The best song i've ever heard.
I was having a bad day until I heard this song. I honestly did not see that coming.
Amazingly beautiful blens of japanese and medieval style music :D
I absolutely love it!!!!
Many thanks for uploading this Yggdrasil :)
大好き
my favourite song through out akiko's production
I like this music. It makes me think of some ancient far-away land.
急におすすめに出てきたけど神秘的な歌や

2007 is a nostalgic years for me..

Thanks RUclips recommendations.
RUclips Checkpoint, pass right through after listening.
The first few seconds is what I imagine Irish soccer fans having as their hymn
wow, her songs are so beautiful! I love the medevial sound to them O_~
are you still alive?
Cela fait longtemps que j'ai pas entendue cette chanson, mes tympans sont contents de la réécouter... :3
thanks recommended, a little late but eh, 13 years aint that bad
當年才15歲，時間過的真快
ケルト音楽のエッセンスが入ってるのかな？
