The Gladiators' song "Now We Are Free" is sung in an unknown language, but the lyrics can still convey emotion and meaning through the rhythm and melody of the vocals. The opening lyrics "Anol shalom, Anol sheh lay konnud de ne um shaddai" convey a sense of peace and spirituality. The song continues with phrases that are difficult to decipher, but the repetition of certain sounds like "flavum" and "la um de flavne" create a sense of rhythm, adding to the overall hypnotic effect of the vocals. The song culminates in a powerful ending, with the choir singing "Alas sharum du koos, Shaley koot-tum," which sounds like a chant or a battle cry. The combination of the ethereal and uplifting opening with the intense and energized ending creates a balance that makes the song feel complete.
The Gladiators' "Now We Are Free" was featured in the highly acclaimed movie "Gladiator." The song was composed by famous composer Hans Zimmer and features vocals by Lisa Gerrard. Gerrard herself stated that the lyrics are in a made-up language that she calls "vocalscapes," which she creates to convey emotion through the sound rather than the meaning of the words. The song's title comes from the final line in the movie, where the singer, Maximus, refers to the freedom he has finally achieved. The song has since become an iconic piece of movie music, often used in various forms of media to signify a sense of victory or overcoming adversity.

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 ✨💛💛💛✨
