What does "Elohim, Essaim... Elohim, Essaim I implore you" mean? In episode 4 of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April), Kaori says a prayer "Elohim, Essaim... Elohim, Essaim I implore you" before the performance. What does it mean?
Both of the words &quot;Elohim&quot; and &quot;Essaim&quot; could be meaning a variety of things.   But my speculation goes as follows:
From this Reddit thread:

A similar phrase occurs in the Book of Black Magic and in the
Italian Il Grand Grimoire.   A couple translations and
transcriptions later, we end up with this.
&quot;Eloim&quot; is &quot;God&quot; or
&quot;Powers&quot;, &quot;Essaim&quot; might be &quot;Locusts&quot; or &quot;Swarm&quot;.
I'm thinking that
she's offering her soul to the devil/the angels/god in exchange for
being able to captivate her audience.
This isn't Faust; it's not a serious treatment of pacts. The Japanese adore Christian mythology, similar to how the West adores Eastern mythology. In effect, she's doing the same thing as someone in a Western work invoking his &quot;chi&quot; or whatever. (It's shōnen; teenage boys love foreign mysticism.)
