I really like the voice on this version, but I really wish they would have included the fast part in it (La la da pa da le na da na...) but oh well...can't have everything it seems

It's not Andalusian, and it's not called a "trans language". It's glossolalia or an idiosyncratic language. She created it from the age of 12.
She does borrow a good bit of the sound from Arabic languages, but she also draws inspiration from many sources.
Also, she isn't Jewish (she's Irish-Australian) or Christian, and she doesn't use it to pray or talk to God. She has described it as being like "speaking in tongues", but it's more like elegant scat-singing.

@BigTeo55 it is not in any language. the original singer/composer of this song creates her own language when she sings. Her emotion is not confined by the restriction of language: just pure emotion and music.

@fantomwebchannel : it is not Aramaic. Lisa Gerrard creates her own language when she sings, because she does not want to be confined by language. She likens it to when her daughter would sing, before she could speak...pure emotion, love, longing, hope...without the restraint of words.

Lovely. The original, by Lisa Gerrard is much better...but this is lovely.

@gsl1989 we'll all assume Ober is using the original definition and these Shining stars are gay as in 'happy and wise'
