Lisa Gerrard – Now We Are Free

General CommentGerrard uses glossolalia to sing this song. Taken from her website (interviews > misc):

Speaking of the Death Of Maximus-scene and Now We Are Free: “I do not sing in a language. I felt a strong sense of keening because it is the death of a big man. It's related to the sean nos-tradition in Ireland. It is amazing though because so often these songs are sung by very gruff men and women but when they sing, it sounds heavenly”.

  first part is persian:
  
  Man ashegham
  man asheghe balade gheyram
  
  Anol shalom
  Anol sheh lay konnud de ne um ...
  
  It means:
  
  ---I'm in love
  ---I'm in Love of other lands (other land that soul can leave)
  
  Almighty Freedom
  Almighty free of the soul
  Be free ...

General CommentWell, to be honest I do not know what it means, but I know what I feel.

And that is the greatest feeling of connection with the Love, God, Creation, Universe if you will...
I can feel it every time I listen to Lisa Gerrard voice.

I love it!!!

  There is some info on the internet when she states it is her own language that was given to her as a gift.
  
  "The words are in my own internal language, and mean more than I could ever explain,"

  "I sing in the language of the Heart. It's an invented language that I've had for a very long time. I believe I started singing in it when I was about 12. Roughly that time. And I believed that I was speaking to God when I sang in that language."

General CommentTranslation:
Almighty Freedom
Almighty freer of the soul
Be free
Walk with me
Through the golden fields
So lovely
Lovely

We regret our sins, but...
We sew our own fate and
Under my face I remain feeble
Under my face, I smile

Aaahh)

Even alone/afraid
Under my face I will be waiting

Run with me now soldier of Rome
Run and play in the field with the ponies
Run with me now soldier of Rome
Run and play in the field with the ponies
Run with me now soldier of Rome
Run and play in the field with the ponies
Run with me now soldier of Rome
Run and play in the field with the ponies

Almighty Freedom
Almighty freeer of the soul
Be free
Be free
And imagine
Free with peace at last
It's lovely
It's lovely, this land
No one can believe or understand
How far I came just for my lovely family
I should have been there
with them when the world crashed down
But now they rest with me.

I'll never forget
How I felt that moment
I became free.
