Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Magma's song Nebëhr Gudahtt are predominantly in the invented language of Kobaian. The choral section repeats the phrase "Zïss ünt ëtnah" which can be loosely translated to "beyond what we see." The soloist then enters with the phrase "Wëhloï wëhlo wehlo" which is difficult to translate literally, but could be interpreted as a call to action or a summoning of sorts. The song then switches back to the choral section, repeating the phrase "Walöhmëhn d/ëm" which is also difficult to translate precisely, but could be interpreted as "we hold the force." The song ends with the repeated phrase "Zïss ünt ëtnah" and the final line "Wi wëritstoh iëndö /ë d/ë wëh soworï" which translates to "we who are standing here / in the midst of the force."


Overall, the lyrics to Nebëhr Gudahtt evoke a sense of mystery and otherworldliness, with the use of the Kobaian language adding to the otherworldly feel. The repeated phrases throughout the song seem to be invoking a higher power or energy beyond what is visible to the naked eye, with the tone of the music becoming more intense as the song progresses. The final line of the song suggests a sense of being grounded in this energy or force, as if the singer and the listener are standing in the midst of something larger than themselves.
