Honestly the "Quo vadis pater?" (Where are you going, Father?) at 0:40 leading up to the singer walking up on stage with "(Behold, the red moon had risen)" AND THE CHILD AT 1:19 OFFERING HER HIS HAND this is just so peak Arlechinno
The singer Huiling Zhu, or rather Dr Huiling Zhu; has a doctorate in vocal performance and opera is not only a singer who's trained and performed around the world, she's also a professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. You chose the best person to perform for this MV, someone who values stage presence and can do it! Well done to all the performers and everyone at Hoyo-Mix for another absolute banger!
For all the crybabies complaining about EDM, it's there because it has a reason to be there. It has long been established that EDM is used to represent a power that is alien from Teyvat, like the All-Devouring Narwhal for example. We know that Arlecchino is a descendant of the Crimson Moon dynasty from Khaenri'ah, and that Khaenri'ah definetely had some interaction with the outside of Teyvat (and became the Abyss order). It all perfectly adds up. Now if you don't like it, that's a different can of worms that i don't intend to open up, i am no one to judge... but don't say that "it doesn't belong in the song" and "they had no reason to use EDM" because you're wrong for reasons of lore.
@@Andre-0207 I really dug the Narwhal theme too, the contrast it made from the more traditional instruments in that it went from a blend of highlighting mostly organic sounds, to then going %100 off the wall electronic once inside the whale was really immersive 👌👌
Now that you mention it, maybe they use EDM specifically because there's little to no technology for that in Teyvat (because fantasy world and all that), therefore it would sound alien to its residents
RIGHT???? the attention detail hoyo puts to their music,characters,story, and lore is just so commendable. the contralto voice truly gives off the power, intimidation, and androgyny arlecchino has
@@mochistudyYa I noticed that too, honestly so freaking impressive ughhh… (Edit: When I said “a contralto” I meant more the voice rather than the singer just to clear things up.)
I cannot help shedding some tears because I am a woman with a deeper voice myself and to hear Miss Huiling Zhu singing was quite unexpected and felt so incredible to me. The sheer power and somehow softness that came with her feels eerie but comforting, and deserves special recognition! Truly a master-level performance, from the kids to the adults to instrumentalists, bravo!
@@NaganoharaYoimiya-bs7hb this one is performed by Huiling Zhu she is a woman and while her type is mezzo-soprano here she reminds many of contralto(deepest opera voice for women). And Polumnia Omnia is done by Paolo Andrea Di Pietro (baritone -bass) a man

I just left it as 'dissolvable' since I couldn't come up with a plausibly real translation otherwise. 4 - literally: baked/cooked - the word used insinuates to be parched in the sun.

"quo vadis, pater" means "father, where are you going" (note that it can be metaphorical, rather than a literal destination it can mean "what are your intentions" or "what will you do?")
(VERY) rough translation of the lyrics. Chorus in parenthesis (The reason behind your vengance, your anger, where are you going, Father?)

That voice, that "Father" presence, and that snap (with the lighting effects that mimiced the character's burst animation), Huiling Zhu not only did her homework, she wrote a thesis on it. I hope she has a TH-cam channel that I can follow.
guys they do this for like every song in the game🙄🙄what, do you think theres just one guy swapping between instruments during each recording, and theyve just decided to get multiple musicians just for this ONE song??
I went in with high expectations, and I was met with nothing short of a fantastic performance! This sent chills down my spine, especially with Huiling Zhu's outstanding voice, and everyone involved performed wonderfully! I'm very happy they incorporated a children's choir into this piece. ❤️
@@MilkyWayTheCat Omg hi Luna, fancy meeting you here! xD I totally agree, her acting and singing just perfectly encapsulates the character she is depicting. This was a great performance all around. It made me appreciate Arlecchino's boss theme more!
@@sumes I totally agree! I was already impressed when I hear this in game, but see the musicians and singers in actions make appreciate it even more :O
Man, I am obsessed with the Latin and choir in Fatui themes - gives chills. Also I love how the stage lights are the red Xs of Father's eyes! The singer's deep voice and appearance are also gorgeous, omg. SUCH PRESENCE AHHH THE SNAP, THE BEAT DROP, THE GLITCHES I held my breath without knowing it holy wAIT she's a mezzo-soprano?? HOLY that's insaanneee
REALLLLLL!!! and I think the singer is supposed to be representing Arlecchino because of the outfit + the scene where she's singing with the children! The detail >>>>>
1:19 the singer being help with one of the children (could represent lyney with tiny bow since he does that animation wise)and her dress is almost resembling arle suit 1:42 her singing in the middle with the children representing arle and the hearth and the singer having red nail polish on like GOD THE DETAILS MAN I LOVE IT AND THE DROP LIKE DAMN edit:i went back to lyney story quest although it might be a coincidence but the children choir had almost a resemblance to what young lyney and lynette is wearing
in 1:19 the choir is singing something like "Behold, the red moon had risen." and when she sings surrounded by children at 1:42 she says something like "I will keep the dreams of the children"
Hoyoverse is investing more in such high quality epic music compositions. As someone who has a decent amount of music background and loves Genshin content, I really appreciate the amount of dedication and effort that Hoyoverse puts into the music design of Genshin. Especially the Harbingers’ boss themes, they just keep getting better and better! Thank you so much for the wonderful music!!
So I'm listening to this, initially want to listen doing work, but this music demands attention and I end up listening and watching the video. That's how much power father has on me
OH MY GOD whoever directed this cooked so hard. from the lighting, choose of theme for their clothing, the music, the main singer in white... ugh everything is just so perfect. SHE EVEN DID THE SNAP
2:21 That snap and beat drop what on point! The singer is so talented, and she fits in so well, as if her actions were like Arlecchino's, the way she put her arm around the kids, and the snap.
This is something I absolutely love about living in this day and age. Fantastic masterpieces like this made for a computer game. So sick. Arlecchino's presence in this MV is overpowering
One thing genshin never disappoints with is the design of characters and new regions, but nothing can beat the music It ranges from creepy to soothing to epic... all in one game. I honestly think genshin doesn't get enough credit for that
That edm part always gets me. It's like falling in a dark void full of blood crimson red and slowly tearing your body into pieces as you feel the great immense power of the crimson moon.
HOYO-MIX dropped a truly banger masterpiece! This child choir was sick, and why this singer too similat to Arlechino?! I truly obsessed with this strong voice and child choir for Arlecchino boss theme. After all I understand - hoyo can't do bad music.
Damn I thought the main vocal was a male voice all along. Turns out its a low female voice which is so cool and considerate. Love it when they do this, just like with Scaramouche’s theme having a high tone male voice, Arle’s main vocal sounds so androgynous, its so true to her character. Harbingers do be singing their own theme huh Edit: Idk anything about music terms, dont roast me
I know this is pure coincidences but i noticed at 1:44 the singer puts both of her arms on a boy and a girl's shoulder. That reminds me on that one trailer when arlechinno holds the shoulders of Lyney and lynette before pushing them and they turned to cardboard
I have translated to the best of my ability, being a Classics graduate: Ultio irae Wrath’s vengeance Ratio tuae Your reason Quo vadis pater? Where do you go, father? Ecce luna rubra orta erat Behold, the red moon had risen Noctem exsanguem rubefecit It made the bloodless night red Nemo nisi innocentes dormire potest No one except the innocent is able to sleep Sors mors est velata Fate, death was veiled Ac sic somnia servabo liberorum (Num unam tantum benedictionem habes, pater nostri?) (Benedicam benedic tibi etiam, pater, somnialiter) And thus I will protect the dreams of the free (Do you not have only one blessing, father of ours?) (Bless yourself and I will also bless you, father, in a dream) Sors mei finiet etiamsi (Sors immanis et inanis salubris vanitas) Even if fate will finish me (A monstrous and empty fate is a healthy nothingness) Haec sors est immanis inanis etiamsi (Semper velata dissolubilis) Even if this fate is monstrous and empty (Veiled (fate) always fades to nothing) Inane rubeface a luna Turn emptiness red with the moon (Nemo nisi innocentes dormire potest) (No one except the innocent is able to sleep) Ecce te nepos excoci sed non quasi argentum elegi Behold, I have refined thee, descendant, but not with silver (from Isaiah 48:10) Te in patiente camino ut sis paterfamilias eum I have purified thee in the enduring hearth so that you may be the father of the household Camini spero vos videre lucem novam (Luce nova) I hope that you all of the fireplace see the new light (With the light being new) I have altered the translations to resemble Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, since thats where a lot of this is referenced from I assume.
The soloist is SO cool. I also cried at 1:42. I don't know, the way the children sing feels so innocent. While I don't understand latin, I can understand the battle Arlecchino in to protect the children, while the children stay innocent as ever, not knowing what Arlecchino trying to do
I'm just sitting in bed mouth agape what did I witness I genuinely think genshins ost will be one of the greatest and most underappriciated (outside fandom) love for music because my god. I love how the singers are always perfect as well. Omg. And the build up..the direction..the bass...THE CHOIR..
Translation of the lyrics: From the use of anger. Your reason Where are you going father? Behold, the red moon had risen The bloodless night blushed No one but the innocent can sleep. The fate of death is veiled. And so I will keep the children's dreams. (Do you have only one blessing, father?) (Does he also bless you, father, in your dreams?) Although my destiny will end (The fate of the monstrous and empty healthy vanity) This is the fate of the undead, however (Always veiled disintegrating) Is in vain to blush at the moon (No one but the innocent can sleep) Behold, I burned thee, my nephew, but I did not choose thee as silver in the patient house hearth, that thou shouldest be the master of the household I hope you see the new light (New light)
Wow, what a performance!!! Huiling did such an amazing job on this one, her opera singing has become one of my favorite opera pieces in all of Genshin. Plus, she was so in character. It's clear that the voice singing is Arlecchino, and Huiling killed it, seriously. Her adrogynous voice is so fitting for Arlecchino.
WE NEED MORE GENSHIN SONGS WITH THAT WOMAN!!!! HER VOICE IS AMAZING AND THE WAY SHE WAS ALSO IN CHARACTER?????? 10000/10 Hoyoverse PLEASE make more songs with her!!!!
OMG HER VOICEEEEE IS TOP TIER. As an arlecchino main this fulfilled my heart, I loved everything about arlecchino like how she cares for the children. I can't wait to have more interaction with arlecchino in an archon quest. Thank you so much for this wonderful masterpiece!!
Siendo alguien quien ha cantado junto a cantantes de ópera, habiendo cantado la 9a sinfonía de Beethoven en teatro, siendo pianista con licenciatura en Música Clásica, compositor, dibujante, escritor y teniendo experiencia en doblaje, puedo decir que este video me cautivó por completo. ¡Qué voz! ¡Qué tesitura! ¡Qué coloratura de la solista! ¡Qué notas! Su interpretación es impecable. Cabe decir que, Genshin Impact, ha sido uno de los juegos que más me ha fascinado. Desde sus coloridos y diversos paisajes, hasta sus personajes, las historias, el pasado, el contenido que cada vez se expande más. Sin mencionar todo un mundo creado al detalle, con relatos, experiencias, características individuales de cada pueblo, en fin. A mí no me aburre leer todo lo que me encuentro en el juego porque me demuestra que realmente cuando quieres hacer algo en grande, lo haces. Este juego me ha tocado más de una vez el alma hasta lo más profundo.
Signora and Arlecchino are both harbringer who use the pyro, but. Signora's song had a tone that felt like there was some tragic sadness in the flames, but Arlecchino's song had the feel of a wall furnace, with no mercy in the flames, ruthlessly burning down the opponent. I felt the dignity... both are awesome tho
Magnificent performance - well done! The mezzo soprano didn’t just sing the song… she got into Arlechino’s character and sang it with passion. Congratulations!
I love the subtle way they made Huiling Zhu interpret like a real life Arlecchino, with the part with the children and specially when she snapped her fingers and those red crosses came out. So cool

-------------------------------------------
Absolutio Absoluta Absolutissime
-------------------------------------------
ultio irae
ratio tuae
Quo vadis pater?
Ecce, luna rubra orta erat!
Noctem exsanguem rubefecit, nemo nisi innocentes domire potest
Sors mors est velata,
ac sic somnia servabo liberorum
(Num unam tantum benedictionem habes, pater nostri?)
(Benedicam benedic tibi etiam, pater, somnialiter)
Sors mei finiet etiamsi
(Sors immanis et inanis salubris vanitas)
Haec sors est immanis inanis etiamsi
(semper velata dissolibilis)
Inane rubeface a luna
(nemo nisi innocentes dormire potest)
ecce te nepos excoci sed non quasi argentum elegi
te in patiente camino ut sis paterfamilias eum
camini spero vos videre lucem novam (luce nova)

TRANSLATION ATTEMPT:
(parenthesis indicates the children speaking)
regular text indicates Arle speaking
[brackets indicate either a footnote for translation, or an insertion I've made for readability's sake]
-------------------------------------------
Title:
Perfectly Complete Absolution
-------------------------------------------
[The] Vengeance of your anger
Your Reckoning
(Where are you going Father?)
Behold, the red moon has risen!
The pale[1] night has reddened, none but the innocent can tame [it]
The fate of death[2] is veiled,
and so I will keep the dreams of the children
(Have you only one blessing, our Father?)
(Bless you too, Father, for this dream is different)
My fate will end, even so
(The fate of monstrous and empty vanity)
This is the fate of the monstrous, even so
(Always veiled and dissolvable[3])
In vain, by the red-faced moon
(None but the innocent can sleep)
Behold, Nephew, I formed[4] you, but not like silver
I chose you [in] patience for the Hearth, that you may be the Father of the household
I hope you will see a new light (new light)
TRANSLATION NOTES:
-------------------
1 - "exsanguem" used here literally means bloodless, frightened, or pale. I chose the third since it seemed to fit better than only the innocent being able to tame a 'bloodless' night. But ultimately its exact meaning isn't clear (imo)
2 - Given the context of the rest of the lyrics, I personally think "the fate of MY death" is what is implied here, but that's not what the text says so I left it as-is.
3 - the word used here, 'dissolibilis', I suspect is a compound word (similar to 'somnialiter' being a compound for 'somnia' and 'aliter' earlier in the lyrics) that I'm just unfamiliar with. I just left it as 'dissolvable' since I couldn't come up with a plausibly real translation otherwise.
4 - literally: baked/cooked - the word used insinuates to be parched in the sun. If you put the lyrics into google translate you'll get something funny like "behold, i cooked you nephew" lol
-------------------------------------------
Overall I'm sure there's a good amount of inaccuracies in my translation, I haven't practiced my translating skills in a few years now, but I'm confident this is a better/more accurate result than anything Google will give you!

Thanks! What language were the original words?
@@dylanfu9867 Latin
Thanks so much it’s been so long since I’ve learnt latin
That voice, that "Father" presence, and that snap (with the lighting effects that mimiced the character's burst animation), Huiling Zhu not only did her homework, she wrote a thesis on it. I hope she has a TH-cam channel that I can follow.
Childe, Scaramouche and Finally Arlecchino. Yup Fatui Themes go so hard
real
Signora too (may she rest in peace)
Don't forget our Fair Lady like that ọ v ọ
Makes me wonder if all fatui will be bosses
Signora left in the dust💀
I’m absolutely sure the live singers of Harbinger themes are also harbingers themselves.
Bro an orchestra specially made for our Father, Arlecchino? Yes please!!
*Dont read my name…* 🐦
they love alrecchino so much omg lol
@@uwaa哇哇哇 lol
guys they do this for like every song in the game🙄🙄what, do you think theres just one guy swapping between instruments during each recording, and theyve just decided to get multiple musicians just for this ONE song??
This is normal lol
I went in with high expectations, and I was met with nothing short of a fantastic performance! This sent chills down my spine, especially with Huiling Zhu's outstanding voice, and everyone involved performed wonderfully! I'm very happy they incorporated a children's choir into this piece. ❤️
Oh I found you! xD I'm just as impressed by this performance as you are :OOO Huiling Zhu is absolutely incredible
@@MilkyWayTheCat Omg hi Luna, fancy meeting you here! xD
I totally agree, her acting and singing just perfectly encapsulates the character she is depicting. This was a great performance all around. It made me appreciate Arlecchino's boss theme more!
@@sumes I totally agree! I was already impressed when I hear this in game, but see the musicians and singers in actions make appreciate it even more :O
Man, I am obsessed with the Latin and choir in Fatui themes - gives chills. Also I love how the stage lights are the red Xs of Father's eyes! The singer's deep voice and appearance are also gorgeous, omg. SUCH PRESENCE AHHH THE SNAP, THE BEAT DROP, THE GLITCHES I held my breath without knowing it holy
wAIT she's a mezzo-soprano?? HOLY that's insaanneee
FOR REALLLL. Like the choir in fatui things is I feel like the only thing that motivates me to do Latin homework🥲
REALLLLLL!!! and I think the singer is supposed to be representing Arlecchino because of the outfit + the scene where she's singing with the children! The detail >>>>>
I think,she is not mezzo-soprano,and kontralto 🤔
I love how she's in character. The total production, the choir and visual effects are all amazing. 🤩
We always appreciate the staff for these amazing soundtracks for Genshin, They are really well talented.
Oh there you are let’s get back to farming in Genshin
Everywhere i go, i see his face
I don't think so, only us music lovers. But the ones that don't doesn't even care and shits on the game
Get some sleep bro. Dont need to comment on everything.
@@ooutside.observerface of someone who has no life or responsibilities.
3:11 so charismatic
1:19 the singer being help with one of the children (could represent lyney with tiny bow since he does that animation wise)and her dress is almost resembling arle suit 1:42 her singing in the middle with the children representing arle and the hearth and the singer having red nail polish on like GOD THE DETAILS MAN I LOVE IT AND THE DROP LIKE DAMN
edit:i went back to lyney story quest although it might be a coincidence but the children choir had almost a resemblance to what young lyney and lynette is wearing
in 1:19 the choir is singing something like "Behold, the red moon had risen." and when she sings surrounded by children at 1:42 she says something like "I will keep the dreams of the children"
oh yeah and she puts her hand on a girl and a boy (lyney and lynette)
From the children's choir to the contralto to the instramentals they know they went hard on this
THE SINGER'S VOICE IS AMAZING AND THE RHYTHM OF THIS SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING I LOVE IT ✨
Hoyoverse is investing more in such high quality epic music compositions. As someone who has a decent amount of music background and loves Genshin content, I really appreciate the amount of dedication and effort that Hoyoverse puts into the music design of Genshin. Especially the Harbingers’ boss themes, they just keep getting better and better!
Thank you so much for the wonderful music!!
Ah so this is what the rest of the orphans do
Singing lessons at 2pm every day
Must keep “Father” entertained 😂
children, help me intimidate the audience real quick
@@zimbim7562 😂😂😭
I like to imagine they hide somewhere, and come out to give Arlecchino a boss theme for dramatic effect
So I'm listening to this, initially want to listen doing work, but this music demands attention and I end up listening and watching the video. That's how much power father has on me
OH MY GOD whoever directed this cooked so hard. from the lighting, choose of theme for their clothing, the music, the main singer in white... ugh everything is just so perfect. SHE EVEN DID THE SNAP
2:21 That snap and beat drop what on point! The singer is so talented, and she fits in so well, as if her actions were like Arlecchino's, the way she put her arm around the kids, and the snap.
Having a freakin' alto range woman singin' all low for the character of 'Father' is sou damn brilliant. 🤘🤘
Heck yeah 🔥
This is something I absolutely love about living in this day and age. Fantastic masterpieces like this made for a computer game. So sick. Arlecchino's presence in this MV is overpowering
Mihoyo are really impressive tbh
Computer game? no, mobile game.
Oh wow, the lead singer's voice is so deep and beautiful! Her performance is incredible!
One thing genshin never disappoints with is the design of characters and new regions, but nothing can beat the music
It ranges from creepy to soothing to epic... all in one game. I honestly think genshin doesn't get enough credit for that
Thats so true
You spoke my heart 🥹
1:17 i find this part is so cool, it just adds to the wickedness of this performance
Cool fact, she appears in scene as the choir sings in Latin: "Behold, the red moon had risen."
@@NicoLMOhh is that what they were saying? that indeed is a cool fact, thank you!
Ms. Zhu’s vocal performance gives me CHILLS. It’s always exciting to hear an Alto soloist!!!
WHAT A TALENT to have that vocal range omg
That edm part always gets me. It's like falling in a dark void full of blood crimson red and slowly tearing your body into pieces as you feel the great immense power of the crimson moon.
The acting is so strong for even a few scenes and the singer really brings out life like arlecheno being an actual father figure ❤❤❤
HOYO-MIX dropped a truly banger masterpiece!
This child choir was sick, and why this singer too similat to Arlechino?!
I truly obsessed with this strong voice and child choir for Arlecchino boss theme. After all I understand - hoyo can't do bad music.
Damn I thought the main vocal was a male voice all along. Turns out its a low female voice which is so cool and considerate. Love it when they do this, just like with Scaramouche’s theme having a high tone male voice, Arle’s main vocal sounds so androgynous, its so true to her character. Harbingers do be singing their own theme huh
Edit: Idk anything about music terms, dont roast me
Same here😂
Scaramouche’s VA actually is the voice in his theme, idk if his is Arlecchino’s VA but it could be, you’d have to check
@@claymoura2484 Scara’s voice in ingame theme was sang by Yu Pengchen himself, not his VA.
@@claymoura2484 no lol, that has long been debunked as false, as it is yu peng chen himself who sang in polumnia omnia lol
Madam also resembles Arle somehow.
That. Was. Insane. IT FITS HER SO WELL AND THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE IS SO POWERFUL
Huiling Zhu is such a perfect voice for this!
Archon themes are undeniably spectacular but the Harbingers' themes never fall short. The vocals make them even better
I was NOT expecting her voice to be so deep, like zanggg
I know this is pure coincidences but i noticed at 1:44 the singer puts both of her arms on a boy and a girl's shoulder. That reminds me on that one trailer when arlechinno holds the shoulders of Lyney and lynette before pushing them and they turned to cardboard
The singer actually gives the Arlechino vibes. It's so haunting! I love it!
1:28 I was surprised by how low her voice was it gave me GOOSEBUMPS. Im in love
THIS THEME FITS HER SO WELL
I have translated to the best of my ability, being a Classics graduate:
Ultio irae
Wrath’s vengeance
Ratio tuae
Your reason
Quo vadis pater?
Where do you go, father?
Ecce luna rubra orta erat
Behold, the red moon had risen
Noctem exsanguem rubefecit
It made the bloodless night red
Nemo nisi innocentes dormire potest
No one except the innocent is able to sleep
Sors mors est velata
Fate, death was veiled
Ac sic somnia servabo liberorum
(Num unam tantum benedictionem habes, pater nostri?)
(Benedicam benedic tibi etiam, pater, somnialiter)
And thus I will protect the dreams of the free
(Do you not have only one blessing, father of ours?)
(Bless yourself and I will also bless you, father, in a dream)
Sors mei finiet etiamsi
(Sors immanis et inanis salubris vanitas)
Even if fate will finish me
(A monstrous and empty fate is a healthy nothingness)
Haec sors est immanis inanis etiamsi
(Semper velata dissolubilis)
Even if this fate is monstrous and empty
(Veiled (fate) always fades to nothing)
Inane rubeface a luna
Turn emptiness red with the moon
(Nemo nisi innocentes dormire potest)
(No one except the innocent is able to sleep)
Ecce te nepos excoci sed non quasi argentum elegi
Behold, I have refined thee, descendant, but not with silver (from Isaiah 48:10)
Te in patiente camino ut sis paterfamilias eum
I have purified thee in the enduring hearth so that you may be the father of the household
Camini spero vos videre lucem novam
(Luce nova)
I hope that you all of the fireplace see the new light
(With the light being new)
I have altered the translations to resemble Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, since thats where a lot of this is referenced from I assume.
Thank you very much!
I wish you all the best in your life.
If there's one thing that Hoyoverse never misses, it's their music
I stg i come back to this vid at least once a week its so beautifully done
that singer is sooo awesome 😭 this whole performance is amazing
The soloist is SO cool. I also cried at 1:42. I don't know, the way the children sing feels so innocent. While I don't understand latin, I can understand the battle Arlecchino in to protect the children, while the children stay innocent as ever, not knowing what Arlecchino trying to do
Genshin music is so good. I love listening and playing every theme on piano… that’s one thing that makes genshin so great I think…
2:21 THAT SNAP WAS ABSOLUTELY SERVING 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
I'm just sitting in bed mouth agape what did I witness
I genuinely think genshins ost will be one of the greatest and most underappriciated (outside fandom) love for music because my god. I love how the singers are always perfect as well. Omg. And the build up..the direction..the bass...THE CHOIR..
THE DUBSTEP PART IS INSANE!!!! DEFINITELY MY MOST FAVORITE BOSS MUSIC
1:54 "sors immanis et inanis"
Ok definitely one winged angel
Even better because Arlecchino actually has one wing
Someone called her a Fallen Seraphim(aka fallen angel). Absolutely loved that
Not gonna lie, the singer sent a shiver down my spine. Well played, Hoyo, well played...
Huiling Zhu's voice is so impressive, I was so shocked when I first watched this and realised the main vocal was a woman singing.
Translation of the lyrics:
From the use of anger.
Your reason
Where are you going father?
Behold, the red moon had risen
The bloodless night blushed
No one but the innocent can sleep.
The fate of death is veiled.
And so I will keep the children's dreams.
(Do you have only one blessing, father?)
(Does he also bless you, father, in your dreams?)
Although my destiny will end
(The fate of the monstrous and empty healthy vanity)
This is the fate of the undead, however
(Always veiled disintegrating)
Is in vain to blush at the moon
(No one but the innocent can sleep)
Behold, I burned thee, my nephew, but I did not choose thee as silver in the patient house hearth, that thou shouldest be the master of the household
I hope you see the new light
(New light)
Beautiful
Nice 😮
Goosebumps when she put her arms around the 2 children while singing the line "And so I will keep the children's dreams"
Wow, what a performance!!! Huiling did such an amazing job on this one, her opera singing has become one of my favorite opera pieces in all of Genshin. Plus, she was so in character. It's clear that the voice singing is Arlecchino, and Huiling killed it, seriously. Her adrogynous voice is so fitting for Arlecchino.
Music and graphics are the two thing they do best

WE NEED MORE GENSHIN SONGS WITH THAT WOMAN!!!! HER VOICE IS AMAZING AND THE WAY SHE WAS ALSO IN CHARACTER?????? 10000/10
Hoyoverse PLEASE make more songs with her!!!!
The first Fatui soundtrack composed by Dimeng Yuan
Lyney is Fatui so... not really first, just first Harbringer...
Huiling Zhu was really in character! She KILLED it!🔥🔥
NEW MUSIC VIDEO!! 🎉🎉🎉 these are always such a joy to watch
*Dont read my name…* 🐦
OMG HER VOICEEEEE IS TOP TIER.
As an arlecchino main this fulfilled my heart, I loved everything about arlecchino like how she cares for the children. I can't wait to have more interaction with arlecchino in an archon quest. Thank you so much for this wonderful masterpiece!!
Its giving Phantom of the Opera, I love it
Siendo alguien quien ha cantado junto a cantantes de ópera, habiendo cantado la 9a sinfonía de Beethoven en teatro, siendo pianista con licenciatura en Música Clásica, compositor, dibujante, escritor y teniendo experiencia en doblaje, puedo decir que este video me cautivó por completo. ¡Qué voz! ¡Qué tesitura! ¡Qué coloratura de la solista! ¡Qué notas! Su interpretación es impecable. Cabe decir que, Genshin Impact, ha sido uno de los juegos que más me ha fascinado. Desde sus coloridos y diversos paisajes, hasta sus personajes, las historias, el pasado, el contenido que cada vez se expande más. Sin mencionar todo un mundo creado al detalle, con relatos, experiencias, características individuales de cada pueblo, en fin. A mí no me aburre leer todo lo que me encuentro en el juego porque me demuestra que realmente cuando quieres hacer algo en grande, lo haces. Este juego me ha tocado más de una vez el alma hasta lo más profundo.
The female contralto is incredible. Suits Arlecchino’s theme perfectly
When the heavenly voice woman snap her fingers everything was just so perfect
Every harbingers boss fight is a banger fr hoyoverse never misses 🔥
THE SINGER'S VOICE,,,, HER MOVEMENTS,,,, bro I am SPEECHLESS this is so incredible
Signora and Arlecchino are both harbringer who use the pyro, but.
Signora's song had a tone that felt like there was some tragic sadness in the flames, but Arlecchino's song had the feel of a wall furnace, with no mercy in the flames, ruthlessly burning down the opponent. I felt the dignity...
both are awesome tho
I was at first skeptical with the theme, but man after listening to it a bit more often I kinda feel it now. It's really awesome!
The combination of modern instruments and classical ones always fascinates me, especially when it's hoyomix doing it🔥🔥🔥
AHHHH THIS IS BEAUTIFUL🖤❤️
The singer was so in character too. Their voice was powerful, This is absolute history.
So this is what the full song is like, maybe I should go easy on Arlecchino during the weekly boss fight next time to get the full experience
Magnificent performance - well done! The mezzo soprano didn’t just sing the song… she got into Arlechino’s character and sang it with passion. Congratulations!
0:28 Clearly subtitles are wrong, they sing "mo... mmy"
never thought i'd see yui morishita's name under a genshin video lol
i listened to his Alkan recordings back in the day...
Choir or Orchestra themes will always go hard but the fact that Arlencchino got both THEY DELIVERED AND SERVED!!!
I love the subtle way they made Huiling Zhu interpret like a real life Arlecchino, with the part with the children and specially when she snapped her fingers and those red crosses came out. So cool
1:18 The singer being given a hand to come onto the stage was such a clever addition.
