Just wanted to say thanks for 50k views, that's really awesome. A big thanks to everyone who shared this video on Reddit, twitter etc, you've really helped this get some exposure. I know I haven't been all the active lately, it's my last week of college and I literally don't have time to do anything apart from work so pardon me.

0:46 it sounds almost english "his pompous scene his silver tongue we'll sing a song of horror begin the song this timeless song we'll swim and drown in slaughter"
Well the language in Automata is based on several different languages and was ment to convey what humans would sound like in a gajillion years and a bunch of languages just fused together
Thats because he didnt have the "gift" of love. It was said that each machine had a differant gift (emotion/interest). So while simone had the gift of love, jean paul had the gift of knowladge, eo he didnt know the meaning of love
I thought the same thing the first time I played this game. As I was fighting Simone I could only image what the words were about and how they pertain to this little bots madness. How the rejection made her go insane because of her human perception of love and that you need to be beautiful to be loved. You can see this big machine isn’t her real body. You see her real face on her chest.
Well its not quite a Square Enix game without the beautifully composed songs and melody.Square Enix games aren't just games anymore.They're practically art at this point
How in the bloody hell did I find you here?! I just randomly found this and here I find you. Are we forever entangled in a loop where we will find each other?! Are we destined to clash and have the battle of ages?! What sorcery is this? I swear if I find you at my local mall, I'm just gonna freak out Rui XD
@@TheFoxofKnowledge We are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death. Is this a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle...and wonder if we'll ever get the chance to kill him.

In the end things only fall apart Flowers will perish without Beauty
This song just isn’t the same without that robotic vocal at 0:00 Despite having access to the actual album I always come back here to TH-cam to get the actual in-game version just for that one small part at the opening. Changes everything. Not sure why on earth they wouldn’t just include that in the official release... I mean... it’s literally PART of the song!
I agree. I think this song is perfect only when the first part of the song is screamed. It's a pity because the scream makes this song's grotesque live.
@@Chudres not really. It's just a natural flow on youtube to agree with anything positive regardless of how cringe it is. In this case it's kind of valid opinion, but I don't like it at all
this is what i do when singing the city ruins theme. i don't understand what i'm singing, nor the people around me, but it sounds like the actual thing
My head cannon is that chaos language was actually not made by humans, instead it was created by androids since they have access to all human languages. The androids look up to humans because they saw humanity at their best, fighting for existence. And so they created chaos language based on the languages of humanity. The ‘ancients’ who created the language may actually be the original androids that worked alongside humans before humanity got wiped out. The language itself doesn’t need to have meaning as it’s more ornamental, something to remember humanity by.
This game represents humanity in all forms. Learning the meanings of emotions; children and their purity/harmlessness; what it means to be conscious; moral compasses; self-evaluations; tragedy; trust and companionship; beauty and vanity; discipline and freedom; worship and despair; finding meaning when all is gone away;… Love… And… Loss…
I have no problem saying that this game is art. Almost Everything in this game is art, the visuals, the story, the music even in mechanics. Beautiful👌😊😊
I knew this game was a masterpiece when SImone started screaming "look at me" and the camera deliberately moves away from her and does everything it can to not let you see her. Few games nowadays use everything in their toolkits (Music,Story,Gameplay,Aesthetics) to deliver a unique and singular vision. So glad Yoko Taro and his team are getting the recognition they deserve.
Ricardo Mundarain, all these characters are living in an unending hell, the dark secrets of the yorha kind of drive that fact home. She does put up one hell of a fight early in the game.
She just wanted to be loved by that specific machine though it was too late to realised what she actually was... this game is way deeper than we expected at the beginning
The whole part sung by J'Nique Nicole sounds A LOT like Portuguese. From 1:11 to 2:07 I can comprehend and literally translate: Nehzï tolwe wro = "Não se tolera" = Cannot tolerate Zi zïze he reä = "Viver sem ela" = To live without her Gyalge toze ne ma meete = "E agora que consegui partir " = And now that I managed to leave La drïte re ze = "Ela não pode saber" = She couldn't have known Eh ulmen asa wa rare = "Homens só correm" = Men only run away Bumba etwüre borë = "Boba minha querida é" = Silly my darling is Ulman azewa dae ïrze = "Humanos só correm, e sei!" = Humans only run away, and I know!

I love how its actually the first boss that challenges ur skill, nullifies long attacks and forces you to risk your life getting close to her to deal damage
When I first heard this song, I was heavily distracted by the boss itself, both fighting it, and it laughing, so I didn’t catch how powerful this track was. Thank goodness for TH-cam. Now I listen to it at least once a day.
@@Victor-056 it always sounded like laughter from madness or something, since Simone was clearly unhinged and emotionally charged, hence the screaming throughout the fight as well. Thematically, I could definitely see it being either…or both even. The distortion from the machine like voice makes it hard to tell…which is very “Nier” like. That’s a cool way to look at it though.
There are actually some lyrics in english in this song. 0:45 chorus sings in english: This pompous scene With silver tongue We sing a song of murder Begin the song This (?) song For soon we'll dive in slaughter And this makes sense if got to this boss in-game At 0:31 you can also hear "I love you", this is related to this boss too.
A Beautiful Song (Lyrics I Hear) [English Edition] Ahhh, Ahhh, Ahhh There’s something wrong, it’s the husband, Get on the run, just a moment, to smile. Suffer, save the unfortunee’s, Here lies, the dead restrained, yeah. I love thee, to there and after, Even you, kneel down, down here. This song we sing, With silver tongue, We sing this song to honor her. Begin the song, This turmoil song, For even then she fought hard. Nothing to let go, Feeling the halo. I can’t go setting my feeling, Languish the pain, Some day. Only if someone else, Far more equal adoring, Oh my there’s someone else, please stay.
When the line "feeling the halo" comes, simone literally attacks you with halo hoops... If you see closely, most of her attacks are just unique fountains and patterns of energy balls and rings meaning she is still trying to look beautiful even during the fight... All the more, I like to think that she is just dancing around using different moves just to look beautiful what we (9s and 2b) perceive as a fight.... I think if 9s or 2b just told her that she is beautiful, there wouldn't even be a boss fight at all....
One of the best boss fights ever! Perfect foreshadowing, setup, presentation, variety, level of challenge and...of course: the music! Not to mention that it gave us valuable nuances into the robots "minds". Update: just played this part on my second playthrough and I felt so bad for Simone... Her story is so sad and tragically...beautiful! Glad she got her own beautiful and unique song.
Her voice turning from sweet singing to a desperate yell during the first two seconds always make me shiver. Everyone who doesn't recognize videogames as something which can be art in its most absolute and visceral form should play this game. Thank you Taro sensei, there should be more game designers like you
I love how some lyrics are very similar to Italian (which makes sense, since Simone Is an Italianization of Simon) 0:53 "Nel sogno muore" -> It dies in the dream 1:02 "Come il sol" -> Like the sun 1:48 "Fa male qui nel cuore" -> It hurts here in my heart
It's not ment to be any specific language and be translated. Its similar to Latin as it's a lost language, but it's not translateable. Its basically a made up language they used for the games music
@@phantomnite i know it's gibberish, but there are still a lot of parts in the song that have a sense when translated. It's not Canon, but it's still fascinating.
This is the type of music that really catches my ears everytime. Dynamic and filled with different sections that make up the whole song so beautifully and very harmonious.
Interpretation Intro This is not love, this is madness Beautiful rose turned to ashes Please stop Verse Now I’m, filled with all this beauty Surely, now I am worthy Please love me Doing this for you And you still won’t look at me Chorus Born with beauty Love does know you If you would just look inside She’s too far gone She dimmed her light Tearing herself, that’s beauty Verse Now I can see that I destroyed what was, Who i am or who I’ll be ‘S unknown I can’t stop Now I am someone else Thought I could become worthy But you still won’t look at me Please Look!
"A Beautiful Song". Honestly, accurate name. I can't figure out if it's the music itself or Emi's GORGEOUS vocal work, but some parts of this song literally move me to tears. Thanks for the romaji, mate. Much appreciated.
These are the lyrics I transcribed :) You guys may want to try to sing along to them. Tell me what you think. Sound of vowels: (every vowel is pronounced separately) i - as in english "ee" a - as in "ah" e - as in "pEt" or "plAY" (even at the end of a word) o - as in "aw" u - as in "rOOt" æ - as in "bAd" h - as ch in Scottish "loCH" in the word "hli" and as in "hips" in the word "ehea". r - trilled r ch - soft as in CHair Isfom erva ristinn æfte. Vertramur arp ristinn ome. Feslau. Flyætha, thavi am pechuli Pyælla to terush tenya Ailleonki tuwerem aftuo Ifil yo mirontra hli. Dresfa massier, bissim altsa Pristin velsor urane Filkin de onstor Vistral mesta Vosleven tami sache Nazitoreo vizis ehea Yalgeg oze imati te latuitere sæmpe Un mede saquore Fa male quire doe Un male sequore ime (chorus: ira!) --- Pronunciation help for English speakers (it doesn't perfectly match): Eesfawm, ervah reesteen aftay, Vertrahmoor arp reesteen awmay, Fes-slou Flyatha, thah-vee ahm petchouli Pyalla taw teh-roosh teh-nya i-leh-awnkee too way rehm aftoo-aw eefeel yaw meerawntrah CHli (Scottish CH) Dray-sfah mas-syayr, bee-seem altsah Preesteen velsawr oo-rah-nay Feelkeen der onstawr Veestral meh-stah Vaw-sleh-vehn tah-mee sa-tchay Nazeetaw-reh-aw, veezees er-hay-ah Yal-gag aw-zay eematee tay lah-twee-tay-ray sam-pay Oon meh-deh sa-.kwaw-ray Fah mah-lay kwee-ren daw-eh Oon mah-lay seh-kwaw-ray ee-may (chorus: ee-rah!)
So, the alphabet must be read as the italian one ":/ I don't know how the other neo-latin languages read it, but for sure it's italian-like. I'm not surprised to have seen the comment of a person who may have heard some italian words in the chorus!
This is my first time listening to this song as it played on autoplay by accident while i was doing something else. When i heard this song it made me stop what I was doing and sit and listen.
The Simone fight has to be my favourite in Automata, the music, voicing, gameplay, later her backstory, even the buildup through the theme park. I love every part of the Songstres chapter.
I have been playing the game over and over just to see this intro the soundtrack on this game is very nice it matches the battle. Just like when you play god of war an DMC! I freaking love it I play it in my car everyday!
In DoD the watchers are called 天使(angels) in Japanese, because they are sent by the gods to destroy humanity. The written language they used in Drakengard is called the Angelic Alphabet(Celestial Alphabet), which was created by someone in the 16th Century in the real world. The font itself was not created by the composer of the songs, but exists before that, DoD and Nier simply used it in their games. Chaos is the language she sang in. Get your facts straight.
Every time I hear this song I just hear This is my song My darkened song This my song of horror Defeat the song Destroy the song This is my song of torture
You have to put into consideration that the song has been a subject of lore since Drakengard, ever since the invasion of the Grotesquerie Queen in Tokyo and the White Chlorination Syndrome. So thousands of years later, the song is still a thing that it affects machine life forms in one way or another.
When I played this game for the first time and when Opera gave that super loud scream it instilled fear in me, the first thing I thought was "I'm not going to be able to beat him", for me it is one of the bosses that impacted me the most
This might be late but I hear the higher voice as the boss before she started changing. The second voice is her at the end of her life after going through all of those transformation (in this battle).
I'm not sure why, but something feels so good about that first verse ending as soon as she lands. Then the second verse begins when she starts to go on the offense. Watching and hearing that timing just makes the brain feel good.
0:46 I know it’s not but I can’t stop myself from hearing real lyrics “This pompous scene. With silver tongue, We sing a song of horror. Begin the song. This timeless song. We’ll swim and drown in slaughter.” Dunno where I got it but I can no longer hear it any other way
the fact that you can HEAR _O Fortuna_ in this, especially at 0:46, but it's not quite right, like someone is trying to replicate it and is getting it wrong...

his silver tongue
we'll sing a song of horror
begin the song
this timeless song
we'll swim and drown in slaughter"
I definitely see the first, second, and sixth ones, the rest are a little iffy maybe? Could totally hear it while looking though
We'll swim and drown in the slaughter goes hard, ngl
That last line is hard as fuck.

In the Corus i can hear "this evil song" I also like this.
Meanwhile, Jean-paul is just chillin somewhere else, not even bothering to remember her.
I wonder if he found what he was looking for?
@@FruitShake Jean-Paul also disappears when the boss battle ends in 9s playthrough or when his side quest is complete!
Thats because he didnt have the "gift" of love.
It was said that each machine had a differant gift (emotion/interest).
So while simone had the gift of love, jean paul had the gift of knowladge, eo he didnt know the meaning of love

So, it doesn't have a definitive translation or how?? I recently discovered Nier Automata's soundtracks and are sincerely awesome xD
Scy Rosse L. Play the Game you won’t regret it
And the language is made up entirely of a mixture of so many other languages the words scattered
I thought the same thing the first time I played this game. As I was fighting Simone I could only image what the words were about and how they pertain to this little bots madness. How the rejection made her go insane because of her human perception of love and that you need to be beautiful to be loved.
You can see this big machine isn’t her real body. You see her real face on her chest.
"I can't wait to fight this Boss without any consequences."
In an alternate timeline...
Everyone gangsta till they know the Back story to the boss.
I cried
Someone please look my way
@Michelle La1 Jean Paul is the one Simone wanted to look at her. If you did his quest, you know he's a dick.
@Michelle La1 you will get to know it in your second playthrough
Jean-Paul man..
1:49 "Bumba etwüre borë" sounds like "Fa male qui, nel cuore" from italian it means "It hurts here, in the heart."
Smucke AMVs well that would make sense since this song is about a lover trying to make herself more beautiful in order to be noticed by her crush
wow i just found some good sense

All the more, I like to think that she is just dancing around using different moves just to look beautiful what we (9s and 2b) perceive as a fight....
I think if 9s or 2b just told her that she is beautiful, there wouldn't even be a boss fight at all....
This is actually so good, yet underrated. I love how these lyrics phonetically match the original chaos language.
Oh, wow.
Whenever I listen to this, I tend to sing along according with what I think are the lyrics.
Its amazing to find this video!
One of the best boss fights ever! Perfect foreshadowing, setup, presentation, variety, level of challenge and...of course: the music!
Not to mention that it gave us valuable nuances into the robots "minds".
Update: just played this part on my second playthrough and I felt so bad for Simone... Her story is so sad and tragically...beautiful!
Glad she got her own beautiful and unique song.
Her voice turning from sweet singing to a desperate yell during the first two seconds always make me shiver. Everyone who doesn't recognize videogames as something which can be art in its most absolute and visceral form should play this game. Thank you Taro sensei, there should be more game designers like you
underrated
You know, this boss screams "HELP MEEEE!" when it's low on health...
I love how some lyrics are very similar to Italian (which makes sense, since Simone Is an Italianization of Simon)
0:53 "Nel sogno muore" -> It dies in the dream
1:02 "Come il sol" -> Like the sun
1:48 "Fa male qui nel cuore" -> It hurts here in my heart
I mean Simone's name is from Simone de Beauvoir, and she's french lol
I speak french and eglish , smh i was able to understand what u wrote in jtalian !
It's not ment to be any specific language and be translated. Its similar to Latin as it's a lost language, but it's not translateable.
Its basically a made up language they used for the games music
@@phantomnite i know it's gibberish, but there are still a lot of parts in the song that have a sense when translated.
It's not Canon, but it's still fascinating.
@@asimplerenafan7695 a lot if it does sound like proper words but still, it doesn't have any meaning
Nier Automata's OST is one of the best music I have ever heard in video games. This will live forever.
This is the type of music that really catches my ears everytime. Dynamic and filled with different sections that make up the whole song so beautifully and very harmonious.
This masterpiece bgm is unforgettable,those bgm stay with me the whole childhood
Here after hear it in Japan Olympic Games in Artistics
Anyone here after watching Cecilia Immergreen played a violin solo of this during her debut today?
IM HERE.
Incredible debut!
I’m 3 months late to the comment but yeah that is indeed why I’m here
The greatest boss fight that I've ever played in a video game! It was such an incredible experience that I'll never forget.
after episode 4 i'm here 🤩
😎😎😎
0:31 I love thee to ever after
Interpretation
Intro
This is not love, this is madness
Beautiful rose turned to ashes
Please stop
Verse
Now I’m, filled with all this beauty
Surely, now I am worthy
Please love me
Doing this for you
And you still won’t look at me
Chorus
Born with beauty
Love does know you
If you would just look inside
She’s too far gone
She dimmed her light
Tearing herself, that’s beauty
Verse
Now I can see that
I destroyed what was,
Who i am or who I’ll be
‘S unknown
I can’t stop
Now I am someone else
Thought I could become worthy
But you still won’t look at me
Please Look!
finding this song randomly while studying made me play Nier Automata, and god I'm grateful for it.
Literalmente "una hermosa canción"
e ue
This is one of those bosses you just want to experience again for the first time.
"A Beautiful Song". Honestly, accurate name. I can't figure out if it's the music itself or Emi's GORGEOUS vocal work, but some parts of this song literally move me to tears. Thanks for the romaji, mate. Much appreciated.
These are the lyrics I transcribed :) You guys may want to try to sing along to them. Tell me what you think.
Sound of vowels: (every vowel is pronounced separately)
i - as in english "ee"
a - as in "ah"
e - as in "pEt" or "plAY" (even at the end of a word)
o - as in "aw"
u - as in "rOOt"
æ - as in "bAd"
h - as ch in Scottish "loCH" in the word "hli" and as in "hips" in the word "ehea".
r - trilled r
ch - soft as in CHair

Now what do they MEAN!?
So, the alphabet must be read as the italian one ":/ I don't know how the other neo-latin languages read it, but for sure it's italian-like. I'm not surprised to have seen the comment of a person who may have heard some italian words in the chorus!
Reminds me of german lmao
this is not just a video game. it is an art; a masterpiece
I forgot how awesome this game is, I really need to play it again.
This is the best boss in the game. It's a shame there wasn't more unique fights like this.
This is my first time listening to this song as it played on autoplay by accident while i was doing something else.
When i heard this song it made me stop what I was doing and sit and listen.
The Simone fight has to be my favourite in Automata, the music, voicing, gameplay, later her backstory, even the buildup through the theme park. I love every part of the Songstres chapter.
The singer made up the language for the OST I just can't with this games awesomeness
I have been playing the game over and over just to see this intro the soundtrack on this game is very nice it matches the battle. Just like when you play god of war an DMC! I freaking love it I play it in my car everyday!
No matter how many times I listen to this I get shivers
i love these songs, i would try to learn then and sing it a competition or something bc its epic
This is the moment where i truly fell in love with this game
One thing we can count on Square Enix for, is their amazing soundtracks for the games they make
0:52
"We sing of horror,
Begin the song,
This timeless song,
We'll swim in blood and slaughter"
I knew that something was missing when listening to the official ost on YT: it was Simone.
Thanks for including her. Her voice is really beautiful
Fun fact: During the summer Olympics of 2024 the Japan's swim team used this for there entrance
the beginning always gets me, it's the best part imo
Nicely done on the angelic.
In DoD the watchers are called 天使(angels) in Japanese, because they are sent by the gods to destroy humanity. The written language they used in Drakengard is called the Angelic Alphabet(Celestial Alphabet), which was created by someone in the 16th Century in the real world. The font itself was not created by the composer of the songs, but exists before that, DoD and Nier simply used it in their games. Chaos is the language she sang in. Get your facts straight.
Just about to say that until I saw your response.
Azmunt the Skoom I am wood
This boss is fire, not hard not easy, is pure adrenaline and the song is marvelous.
Me: * playing NieR Automata for the first time *
Opera singer: * appears *
Me: "ho damn, mecha-Intoner!"
Could you imagine how hard the fight would be if Simone had intoner mode
one of my favourite bosses, creepy but gorgeous and love the song
I love the scream at the beginning I wish it’s part of the ost
This song blew me the fuck away when I first heard it. It is still to this day one of my top 5 favorite songs.
This game and music is a masterpiece .
Every time I hear this song I just hear
This is my song
My darkened song
This my song of horror
Defeat the song
Destroy the song
This is my song of torture
Wtaf
You have to put into consideration that the song has been a subject of lore since Drakengard, ever since the invasion of the Grotesquerie Queen in Tokyo and the White Chlorination Syndrome.
So thousands of years later, the song is still a thing that it affects machine life forms in one way or another.
I love that the machine diva's singing at the start sounds like an alarm while still having a hint of a human woman's voice.
ngl this is one of the most memorable bosses ive ever fought. Defiantly top 5 in my list for best bosses
0:00 This is one of the most scariest part of the song. I like it
When I played this game for the first time and when Opera gave that super loud scream it instilled fear in me, the first thing I thought was "I'm not going to be able to beat him", for me it is one of the bosses that impacted me the most
People from year 3000 are gonna think it was a real language
Thanks for the video man, i'm in love with this game
"From break and ruin, the most beautiful performance begins."
This might be late but I hear the higher voice as the boss before she started changing. The second voice is her at the end of her life after going through all of those transformation (in this battle).
Appreciate you keeping the bells in. Awesome!
He spoke of sin,
His silver tongue,
It sings a song of murder
He did not stop
His tongue a sword
Who sweared it'll drown in slaughter
I'm not sure why, but something feels so good about that first verse ending as soon as she lands. Then the second verse begins when she starts to go on the offense. Watching and hearing that timing just makes the brain feel good.
When it's in a fictional language but it still tugs your heartstrings
Time to make a cover.
Majo Ellen oh cool! would you mind linking me when you've done it? ^^
M-my voice is trash but, for the sake of letting you see the fruits of your labor, yes i suppose I shall.
I finally did the cover, finnaalllyyy!!!
Majo Ellen Send me the liiiink!

Nier Automata OST - "A Beautiful Song"
"Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"
Im just in love with the 1:45 part, the way the background vocals start overtaking and completely take over at 1:59 is mesmerizing.
This song certainly hits different after fighting Louise in Nier Replicant
One day, TH-cam only recomended this video and I watched it. After that, I decided to look for more, and then... I found the great NieR:Automata :')
Adoro esta canción desde que llegue a esa parte del juego, es simplemente perfecta, tanto la melodía como el jefe, la ambientación, todo
simplemente sublime tanto tiempo buscando hasta que encontre tus videos, muchas gracias
0:46 I know it’s not but I can’t stop myself from hearing real lyrics
“This pompous scene.
With silver tongue,
We sing a song of horror.
Begin the song.
This timeless song.
We’ll swim and drown in slaughter.”
Dunno where I got it but I can no longer hear it any other way
never noticed the spotlight that follows 2B around during the fight.
Simone is in sync with the music in that boss fight. Her moves change when the rhythm change.
Everytime I hear this sound track. I find myself uttering... FUCK THIS IS REALLY SUCH A GREAT SOUNDTRACK.... every single time.
the fact that you can HEAR _O Fortuna_ in this, especially at 0:46, but it's not quite right, like someone is trying to replicate it and is getting it wrong...
here we go again
back here after one year of playing this game
totally forgot about this song but this was THE song which put nier in my radar
Giga Cheddar brought me here
Same
every single composition in this game gives me goosebumps
