Lyrics

There are no lyrics as such, being a form of musical onomatopoeia (music that is performed using non-linguistic syllables or noises), however, a rough approximation of the "words" is as follows.

ze iye hii woooaaii

za e le do ah weh ah weh ah weh ah weh

ai

ai iyla sola zei la so ba iyle

ze iye hii woooaaii

ze iye hii woooaaii

Pronounciation is strange on this song. Lyrics with 'iye' may or may not have the 'i' pronounced in front of it, and if it does it's usually said in a way that mixes in with the sounds of the next syllable.
