The above lyrics are to the song "Sis puella magica!" by 梶浦由記 (Yuki Kajiura), and they are in a made-up language with no literal translation. However, the song is widely recognized as the opening theme for the anime series "Puella Magi Madoka Magica," which centers around the idea of contracting with a magical creature to become a "magical girl" and fight witches. As such, the lyrics can be interpreted as depicting the magical and mythical world that the girls in the series inhabit.
The repetition of phrases like "Samia dostia" and "Ari aditida" could be seen as incantations or magical spells, while mentions of creatures like "Tori" and "Nari" add to the otherworldly vibe. The lines "Semari aisi isola matola/Soribia doche irora amita" also conjure up images of a far-off land, perhaps reminding listeners that the story is not set in the ordinary world.
