It's called glossolalia, folks;
traditionally, it means divinely inspired language, where all people who hear it, can "understand" it...
the titillating thing about glossolalia is that you almost hear words you understand-- and therein lies the "magic" your own cognitive abilities "stretches" itself to create an echo of the word you think is being suggested... and that is why in religious congregations, when the theme of celebration has been established, the glossolaliac component will be useful

Actually, she's singing in her own invented language. She's American (west cost) living in France. The other two members of the band are half arabic and a persian in fact (percussionist). The guitarist is half Algerian (Arabic).
I used to know them personnaly when living in Paris... A great band in fact!

From what I read she is in fact Persian, so origin of the sounds might be taken from that language. Don't be fooled that it doesn't sound Arabic. Persian and Arabic share same/similar alphabet and grammar (mainly because Persians were the ones who created grammar for Arabic) but Arabic is a semitic language while Persian is from indoeuropean family (like Hindu, Turkish or to some distant point Slovian languages).

there is no translation dubois makes up her own dialect for her songs. Although I read, some where back, that she is american, and if you listen to some of her songs you can hear english lyrics. But I don't speak any other languages so there could be other stuff mixed into some of her songs. I don't think this song has words, but deffinatly meaning :)

Hmm, thanks. I actually thought it was some sort of celtic language.



You're close. It is a gibberish of sorts, but the "words" are conjunctions between parts of words chosen from Arabic, English and Gaelic. The result is...well, awesome. Regardless of who listens to it, there is a "foreign appeal." It proves that the voice can be an instrument without actual words from any language/you don't have to know what's being said (if anything at all) to enjoy a song.
