Pantalea
志方あきこ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

満月に華やぐは 生命の宴か
何を祈り 何を謳う?

古の繁栄(にぎわい)は 語り部さえ無く
されど集い 刻(とき)を待つ

鳥達よ 獣よ 精霊よ
記憶の欠片を...
生きとし生ける 全ての者よ
今宵の奇跡を 讃えましょう

パンタレア 花開く
青き星を 慈しむよに
パンタレア 薫りたつ
想い燈し 咲き誇る 神秘の花

踊れ 潰えた世界さえ
嗚呼 歓喜で満たして...

仄白く仄青く 立ち昇る炎
一夜(ひとよ)の舞 片羽の蝶

睦み合う蛍火が 未来を宿して
この営み 繋がれる

過ぎ去りし 誰かが遺すは
名も無き残影(おもかげ)
産まれ朽ちた 願いを糧に
新たな奇跡を この世に呼び起こす

パンタレア 夜が明ける
やがて花は 深い眠りへ
パンタレア 一年(ひととせ)に
たった一度 咲く希望よ

パンタレア 降り注ぐ
慈雨を受けて 緑は芽吹く
パンタレア 信じてる
いつの日か 再び廻(めぐ)ること

パンタレア そのほとり
光る風が 吹き抜けてゆく




パンタレア 常しえの
想い乗せて 夢を見る 祈りの花

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 志方あきこ's song Pantalea evoke a feeling of reminiscence and celebration of life. The first verse asks the question of what people pray and sing for during the banquet of life under the bright full moon, with no storyteller to recount the tales of past glory. Despite the absence of someone to tell their stories, everyone gathers together, waiting for the right time to create new memories. The second verse calls upon all living creatures, including birds, beasts, and spirits, to bring together fragments of memory and honor the miracle of this evening. Pantalea blooms like a blue star, emanating its fragrance and lighting up the mystery of life, and anyone can dance with joy in its presence. The song proceeds to describe the flame of hope rising in the delicate firefly, carrying the future within its light. The final verse speaks of new miracles created by our wishes, calling upon the Pantalea flower to remind us of what we've achieved and what awaits us in the future.


The lyrics of Pantalea are centered around the Pantaleria flower, a rare orchid species found only in Pantaleria, a small island near Sicily. The Pantaleria flower is considered a mystical flower with healing properties, said to calm nerves and soothe the soul, making it an excellent muse for an enchanting song like this.

English Lyrics:


Is what dances in the full moon the feast of life?
What does it pray for? What does it sing of?


The prosperity of ancient times lacks even a storyteller
Be that as it may, it waits for the time of reunion


O birds, o beasts, o spirits
Pieces of memories...
O every one of God's creatures great and small
Give praise to the miracle of this evening


Pantalea blooms
As thought treating the blue stars with tender loving care
Pantalea releases it's aroma
The mysterious flower in full bloom that lights our wishes


Dance, even the collapsed world
fills our cups with delight




The faint white, faint blue rising flames
The one-night dance and the butterflies missing one wing


The lights of the fireflies close together contain the future
Connecting our preparations


What remains of the unknown souls that have passed on
is a nameless vestige
Give sustenance to our wishes that have been born and died
Awaken this world to a new path


Pantalea the dawn breaks
Soon the flower will fall into a deep sleep
Pantalea the hope which
blooms just once per year!

Pantalea rain without ceasing
Receiving the beneficial rain, greenery buds
Pantalea Have faith in us
One of these days, it will return once again


Pantalea The shining wind
blows through the shore


Pantalea The flower of prayer
which dreams of sending out ancient emotions

Really sad that pretty much none of her stuff is on Spotify :[

@debbiechan8657

What's even sadder is that I'm pretty sure that her songs could be found on Spotify a couple of years ago, but then one day they're just gone ;-;

@earlgreyness

I had her stuff in a playlist I added in 2018 and it's still there (This content is not available) but they removed her music since then.

@JayK47a

That's why I love YouTube and YouTube Music , it has every song . More songs than Spotify , unreleased songs , remixes and much more .


Literally thousands if not millions of Japanese songs are unavailable on Spotify :*) . YouTube has all the songs tho , if it's not available , it's on premium

@nebojsadelic9487

i know. i really wish VII was on spotify.
