The lyrics of "Now We Are Free" from the Gladiator soundtrack are written in a language invented by the composer, Hans Zimmer, and lyricist, Lisa Gerrard, specifically for the song. The language is a combination of various ancient languages, including Maori, Sanskrit, and Arabic, all chosen for their sound and texture. The result is a hauntingly beautiful blend of words and sounds that transcend literal meaning and evoke deep emotions.
The opening lines of the song, "Anol shalom, Anol sheh lay konnud de ne um shaddai," loosely translate to "peace to you, through you, and around you, with the presence of divine." The words suggest a spiritual or mystical experience, as if the singer is calling for a higher power to intervene.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more abstract and poetic, with phrases like "flavum nom de leesh" and "we de ze zu bu" which have no literal meaning in any language. However, the overall impression is one of hope and freedom, as the singer repeats the phrase "now we are free" several times throughout the song.
Ultimately, the power of "Now We Are Free" lies not in its literal meaning, but in its ability to convey complex emotions through sound and melody. The song has become an iconic piece of music, associated not just with the film Gladiator, but with themes of triumph and overcoming adversity in general.

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 ✨💛💛💛✨
