The lyrics of "Now We're Free" by Gladiator feat. Izzy do not have a concrete meaning as they are in a fictional language created by composer Hans Zimmer and lyricist Lisa Gerrard. This language is called "pseudo-Latin" and was made to give a timeless and universal feel to the music of the 2000 film Gladiator, for which this song serves as the closing credits track. However, the lyrics are emotionally charged and the melody creates a powerful impact that resonates with audiences in a unique way. The song is filled with deep emotions of peace and freedom, and its spiritual and ethereal quality makes it a perfect fit for the film's themes of heroism, honor, and sacrifice.
The first stanza of the song opens with the phrase "Anol shalom" which means "peace be with you" and ends with "La um de Flavne" which is interpreted to mean "The dream is free." The second stanza is more upbeat and its rhythm is faster, indicating a sense of freedom and joy. The phrases "We de ze zu bu" and "We de sooo a ru" are typically associated with African cultures and could be interpreted to mean dance and rejoice. The use of repetition in the song's chorus adds to the hypnotic and trance-like quality that the song possesses.
Aside from its use in Gladiator, "Now We're Free" has been widely covered and used in various other forms of media, including TV shows, movies, video games, and even sports events. It has been described as one of the most iconic and recognizable movie songs of all time, and in many ways, it has become a cultural phenomenon that has transcended the film it was created for.

I dedicate this song to all victories people, that have conquered any kind of milestone in any field
in this lifetime,
for her / his, a relative, neighbour, a colleague, a stranger, a community and or even the entire world good, to those that have truthfully conquered their freedom,
victory and or ease
of some kind in this lifetime.
I salute you all, warriors, gladiators, victorious ones. The Universe also honours you.
I dedicate this song to my parents and to my dearest 101 years old
uncle, you are absolute and literally heroes.
Much love, always ✨💛💛💛✨
