The lyrics of Now We Are Free by Lisa Gerrard and Tamara Teirbrood are a combination of made-up words and phrases from multiple languages including Latin and Aramaic. The lyrics are poetic in nature and are not direct translations of a single language. The lyrics can be interpreted as a prayer or a song of liberation, and they evoke a sense of peace and unity.
The opening lines "Anol shalom, Anol sheh lay konnud de ne um {shaddai}" can be interpreted as a greeting or blessing, and "Flavum nom de leesh, Ham de nam um das, La um de Flavne" can be interpreted as an expression of gratitude and appreciation. The following lines "We de ze zu bu, We de sooo a are you" can be interpreted as a call to arms, a message of solidarity or an expression of unity. The repetition of phrases like "La la da pa da le na da na" and "Ve va da pa da le na la dumda" is reminiscent of a meditative chant and gives the song a sense of timelessness and transcendence.
