The song that both Sala and Ange mysteriously know is called "Towagatari",
which means something like "Eternal Story". The version that Ange sings is
subtitled "Hikari no Uta" = "Song of Light"; the version that Sala sings is
subtitled "Kaze no Uta" = "Song of Wind".

The _duet_ version that they sing in the final episode is 1.) glorious; and
2.) subtitled "El Ragna".

Who or what is "El Ragna"? [The Cross Ange wikia claims that it means "The
Goddess"](http://crossange.wikia.com/wiki/Towagatari_~El_Ragna~), but I'm not
sure on what basis they make that claim ("El Ragna" doesn't mean anything in
Japanese, at least). I don't recall the show telling us what "El Ragna" means;
is there perhaps some side material that does tell us what's up?

Who or what is "El Ragna"?


Well, if you think about the lyrics, God(dess) would make sense.

The God(dess) that flies on the wind, making promises with destiny  
The God(dess) that goes on the wind, with roaring wings

Also the wiki says the Ragna-mails are described as a mechanized angel. From
that perspective, the angels draw their power from the God(dess), as the
Convergence Space-time Cannons can only be activated when the song is sung.

[Here](http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/crossange/towagatarikaze.htm) they
refer to it as "the god".

If I had to guess, I'd say that information came from the CD.

On another note, Crunchyroll or whoever really needs to hire better
translators. If it was "the wind flies" then it would "kazega yuku" not
"kazeni yuku".
