Well, as we all know, in One Winged Angel, there is a choir singing, but, do any of you know what it actually means? Is it in Japanese? If so, could someone please give me a translation? Thanks

Ahh, thank you very much, but why do you think they chose Latin?
That's correct, they are taken from sections of the Carmina Burana cantat by Carl Orff. The same cantata that the lyrics for O Fortuna were taken from
Here is the Advent Children Version, written by Tetsuya Nomura himself-

Don't you think Japanese singing would've sounded just the tiniest bit retarded in a Classical song?
4 Version?! I don't think so, unless you're refering to Last Order as well. Or downloading three different language versions
Those lyrics are really pretty. Sounds even prettier in Latin, in my opinion. ^_~
