Overall Meaning

The song "Sé lah Maahrï Donsaï" by Magma is sung in Kobaian language, a constructed language created by the band's founder and drummer Christian Vander. The song begins with the repeated lines "Sé lah Maahrï Donsaï, Sé lowiloï, Dö wï sün", which translates to "Here comes the great Donsai, You are nothing, I see you". The lyrics seem to convey the arrival of a powerful figure, possibly a deity or a leader, who towers over those around them with a sense of superiority.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more cryptic and abstract. The lines "Ewëhn dëh Šlakehnd/ë, Doweri sün d/ëloï, Dëh wlasïk Kobaïa" seem to suggest a connection to Kobaia, a fictional planet that Magma's music often revolves around. The final section of the song features "Zëbëhn dëh Štot dëh Wurdah!", which translates to "I proclaim the law of the word!", followed by a frenzied repetition of the word "Wëhlo".
