Lyrics in english: Oh, one of youth Goddess guides you Ground lead you Bring the light, to land When darkness falls Courage guides you Light meets you Hold your sword, *SKYWORD*
@@f1shstiks yeah, but I almost like them better. The first verse of the real lyrics is cool but the second verse just sounds too much like instructions to sound cool to me haha
The song isn't in an actual language. It has no real translation. In game, they tell you the lyrics, though. Oh youth, guided by the servant of the goddess, unite earth and sky, and bring light to the land. Oh youth, show the two whirling sails the way to the Light Tower...and before you a path shall open, and a heavenly song you shall hear.
You know …There is an incarnation of Zelda, Link & Gannon across every universe in nearly every generation of Hyrule as the story of the Hero of Time is destined to be retold forever……so having said that …Are you the Zelda of our universe?!?…because I'm convinced! Wow! This is so majestic
Did Nintendo, happen to record YOU for the game. This was just extraordinary. It has truly an angelic quality that I didn't think existed outside of the gospel, let a lone in a cover of a Nintendo song. 6/5
I speak Irish myself and there is an occasional word that sounds a bit Irish like Solas (light) and phoenetically "shan doo", with Sean meaning old and Dubh meaning black or else the word Dom which is "to me". The rest is just gibberish!
So cool to see someone playing the harp while singing this song! I can't imagine how much concentration that takes. Thank you for sharing your talent with us! Beautiful!
Awww thank you so much! Actually, for this video I had to record the vocals separately for sound quality purposes, but I do perform this live as well, and it is indeed surprisingly hard to sing and play at the same time ^_^
Both my babies have heard this rendition of balland of the goddess since they were in my belly ❤❤❤ thank you. My five year old just fell asleep to it haha
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This is the single most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my entire life, and I listen to pretty much all genres of music, so there's lots of competition. They're no match. The harp playing is sublime and your voice is the audio equivalent of a star sky. I can't imagine any piece of music more perfect than this.
I have honestly never heard anything so beautiful. I never truly realised how much skill and dedication this sort of instrument and song combined actually requires. Thank you, for all of your hard work. You've reduced a grown man to tears today. Keep it up! You are outstanding.
I thought this video was only instrumental, then you begin to sing... And... I just don't have words to express how beautiful it was. You're amazing, congratulations!
Played Skyward Sword for the first time a few months ago. I loved that short segment of Zelda singing in front of the Goddess statue. Searched for a real-life full version, and to my satisfaction plus amazement, I found her.
You have to be the voice actor for Zelda. There is no other way you could sound just like her and know perfect Hylian! Gave me chills. Just absolutely gorgeous! 😍
+Erik Thunig I agree with you ! and if really they do not like, they can just close this webpage and go somewhere else.. Why click on "dislike" ? It is not fair !
this is really beautiful, exactly as beautiful as the Zelda avatar you are! you and the Zelda of the games will always hold a special place in my heart. once again, this is very beautiful. joy and peaceful loving kindness to you!
bet you it was ganon, vaati,demise, ghirihim, zant,the lady,what ever that guys name is from albw I can't remember his name right now, and the cdi games who disliked
This is so gorgeous. You have fine talent. Would you consider doing an iteration of Nayru's Song from Oracle of Ages? That one might also be your cup of tea.
Thank you very much! I might one day :) But my list of songs to play is sooooo long and each takes me ages to arrange hehe, so I can't make any promises.
Well thank you for even considering it. I'm playing through it right now. Actually I would be farther but I reset a bit back to get a different animal. Now I can't finish watching one of my favorite youtubers doing a let's play of the game because the reset let them to catch up and pass me.
I can't believe you only have 4,630 subs! This is beyond amazing, your harp playing and singing is beautiful! Thank you so much for this! Ballad of the goddess's is one of my favs! Keep up the good work! #newsubscriber
this is one of my favourite instrumental soundtracks, i didn't expect her to be singing at all, but when she did start to do so, my mind just flew off its seat, if that makes any sense... wow !
I searched for a tutorial to cover this song on a lyre harp, ended up here. At first I was a bit disapointed because I would'nt be able to play it... Then the vocal hits... this is the best version of this song well done !
Sorry if this was asked already (it's incredibly difficult to search anything in YT comments) but what is the particular lever harp model you're playing on? The high registers sound nice and clean, which is impressive to me.
It's okay, I don't mind singing my harp's praises over and over again anyway! This is a Dusty String Ravenna 34, and it's the most amazing lever harp I have ever laid my hands on! Not only is the tone so wonderful and melodious, but it is also lightweight, has a built-in extendable leg (which allows me to play it standing or sitting as I please), and also a built-in pick-up mic which I can just plug into my recording soundbox - it has really revolutionised recording for me! And it's so affordable too! I can highly recommend this model :)
Thanks so much for your reply. I'm just an aspiring harpist who's never had an instrument to call my own, so I'm trying to gather as many experiences and recommendations as I can. I was looking at a Camac Excalibur as something that I would grow into and hope to see one in action at the upcoming Camac Festival, but it's not cheap and cost of entry is definitely a factor! I'm impressed by the Ravenna 34 and will have to keep it in mind. I was looking at it on the manufacturer's website and couldn't find any reference of the built-in mic pick-up you mentioned - could you explain how that part works? Thank you in advance. :)
Gathering info from other people's experience is always a good place to start! :) I have never tried the Camac Excalibur myself, but the Ravenna 34 far surpasses any other lever harp I have tried in terms of sound, volume and also weight (it is very lightweight and easy to handle. If you go to the harp model's page: manufacturing.dustystrings.com/harps/browse-models/ravenna-34 and click "options", you'll see all the features you can have installed on your harp :) I recommend the built-in mic and also the drop-down leg. The built-in mic means that it has 4 small microphones installed inside the body of the harp, to which you can connect either recording or amplification equipment and not worry about external noise, as the only sounds that will be recorded will be the harp strings. It really makes for a nice clean recording! I hope this helps :) Good luck!
@@schan263 I wound up getting a Blevins Reve 34 from the preowned market for quite a good price. Just a little blemished but very well worth what I paid for beginning my harp experience since it's very light for the number of strings. The takeaway I got from this was to always keep an eye on the used harp market for something that may fit your needs and budget just right.
God.. I thought there would be only the Harp cover... I wasn't prepared for the voice cover, my heart almost climbed higher than the stars. That's amazing.
Something about this version is magical and I tried to figure out what it is. So I realized that your singing, for me, doesn't sound like the goddess Hylia or princess Zelda, even if your voice is pretty clear. It sounds more like a normal Hylian-resident, waiting and singing in hope for the hero to appear and save the world. Your imperfection in singing and the simplicity of your harp making this cover perfect. It gives me chills
I was already amazed by your harp skills, but the minute I heard your voice my jaw literally dropped. Your voice has a soft, smooth melody that harmonizes perfectly with the harp.
Your Hylian is perfect…
Thank you ^^

Lyrics in english:
Oh, one of youth
Goddess guides you
Ground lead you
Bring the light, to land
When darkness falls
Courage guides you
Light meets you
Hold your sword, *SKYWORD*
Skyward
these are fan-made lyrics, not the actual ones from skyward sword
@@f1shstiks yeah, but I almost like them better. The first verse of the real lyrics is cool but the second verse just sounds too much like instructions to sound cool to me haha
@@wind2609 I really like the homophony with "skyword" tho - gives it more meaning :)

You're like a real goddamn angel holy shit you're amazing

the language of Zelda sounds almost like Irish Gaelic
I'm not sure I agree there (as a person who knows a good deal of Irish), but Hylian is a very beautiful language, and so is Irish :)
cowboy8555 I believe Hylian is based off of old japanese
I speak Irish myself and there is an occasional word that sounds a bit Irish like Solas (light) and phoenetically "shan doo", with Sean meaning old and Dubh meaning black or else the word Dom which is "to me". The rest is just gibberish!
Yeah, it does. (This is my opinion) I feel like Hylian sounds like a bit of Irish Gaelic and just a hint of Japanese.
For future reference: It's just "Irish" or "Gaeilge"
each year i comeback to this...helps resting my mind and forget about the world for a second.
Thank you, I'm glad my music can soothe you.
Gave me chills. This song is probably my favourite song from any video game.
Awww thanks!

I'm so glad this is getting popular again with the re-release of Skyward Sword. You deserve it!
Your voice, the special way you have at playing the harp. Your dressing. BEAUTIFUL! Your portrayal as a hylian girl is perfect. I love it!
When you started singing I shed a tear. That's beautiful
Awww thank you!
Ah yes, Zelda music just makes me want to cry.
This is excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you so much! I hope to be able to make a new video soon!
Oh Jesus, save me! I was expecting the harp, but not the 1:1 singing.

How beautiful! Thank you. This is wonderful!
This is awesome
