I need some help from someone who knows what language this might be written in, and who can translate it for me if possible.

It's the lyrics to a song I love the melody to, but I really have no clue as to what language it's sung in. Here goes nothing!



Anol shalom
Anol sheh lay konnud de ne um {shaddai}
Flavum
Nom de leesh
Ham de nam um das
La um de
Flavne...

We de ze zu bu
We de sooo a ru
Un va-a pesh a lay
vi-i bee
Un da la pech ni sa
Un di-i lay na day
Un ma la pech a nay
mee di nu ku


La la da pa da le na da na
Ve va da pa da le na la dumda

Anol shalom
Anol sheh ley kon-nud de ne um.
Flavum.
Flavum.
M-ai shondol-lee
Flavu...
Lof flesh lay
Nof ne
Nom de lis
Ham de num um dass
La um de
Flavne..
Flay
Shom de nomm
Ma-lun des
Dwondi.
Dwwoondi
Alas sharum du koos
Shaley koot-tum.



It may be written in phonetics, but again - I really don't know for sure. If it isn't gaelic, can anyone tell me what language it is and where I can find a translation? I would really appreciate it!

even then, it doesn't look like real Latin.

Indeed it is. It's the "lyrics" to Now We Are Free by Lisa Gerrard. I have since discovered that it's not an actual language at all, but rather sounds she produces (using her voice as an instument) designed to evoke an emotional response. Thanks to all for your comments, though!
