It looks Italian to me, but I'm no liguist.

[Iwant2bafencer]

Yeah I'd say Italian or possibly Latin. I'm not a linguist either though.

[FlamingDeth]

Not sure what it is, but I can tell you with certainty that it isn't Latin. Italian sounds like a fair bet, though.

[annacattiva]

It's not Italian. Could be a dialect of Italian, though. Sicilian Italian can be quite different than standard Italian. It's pretty clearly a Romance language, though. Not Spanish or French. Doesn't look like Portugese. I don't know much about Catalan or Romanian...

[pkt]

This is the babel I got from Babelfish - Italian to English:

you sell to cuendi merdi difardi usuendi for me you sell of usuendi and you sell to cuendi merdi difardi usuendi for me you sell of usuendi and it goes genda greens ga to... goes genda greens ga to... ver cuer of ust you sell to cuendi merdi difardi usuendi for me you sell of usuendi and tikitu tikitu you sell to cuendi merdi difardi usuendi for me you sell of usuendi and tikitu tikitu it goes genda greens ga to... goes genda greens ga to... ver cuer of ust you sell verdu verstu fona not greens verdu verstu fota greens to you sell to cuendi merdi difardi usuendi for me you sell of usuendi and tikitu tikitu you sell to cuendi merdi difardi usuendi for me you sell of usuendi and tikitu tikitu it goes genda greens ga to... goes genda greens ga to... goes genda greens ga to... goes genda greens ga to... ver cuer of ust

Have you Googled for the song's lyric?

[Phoenix]

no sorry. I'll try that though after dinner. Thanks.

Mestoy muriendo...muriendo por verte, agonizando, muy lento y muy fuerte...oh vida! devuelveme mis fantasias...

[counterattack]

Okay, now I am dying to know. This isn't the main dialect of any modern language... what is it!?!? It shares some words with Brazilian Portugese, Esperanto, Spanish...

Phoenix, where did you get the lyrics from? My curiosity is piqued.

[Phoenix]

well, my friend has the song and sent it to me (dang file won't upload..) and she was asking me one day if I knew what language it was. I didn't and I asked if she could give my the lyrics to it. I'll ask her to send it to me again. then you can listen to it. and I'll ask her to send me the site.

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

Sounds repetitive to me.

[The0ne]

it looks kinda french, meaning indo-european roots. Maybe Portualgese or something? HOwever Tikitu does not sound Indo-European. Perhaps an African language with french or european corruption??

[annacattiva]

I would guess that it's pretty straight indo-european, and that the "tikitu" is just a space-filler in the song: extra nonsense syllables that don't have any meaning in whatever language this is in.

[qatet]

is it safe to assume that this is simply your "ear-transcription," not printed lyrics, and open for possible revisions as to where words begin and end?

[lfortier]

its either spanish or italian- I dont speak either of them, but I've been in french for 3 yrs, and "vendi" is the equivilent to french "vendre", meaning "to go". Wish I could help out more, but try http://www.freetranslation.com , they have so many languages to transform into enlgish/ vise versa. Hope I helped any!

[counterattack]

It is definitely not properly spelled Spanish, Italian, French, Romanian, Esperanto, or anything else common. But "vendi" shows up in Portugese, "merdi" shows up in Esperanto, "tikitu" shows up in Inuit and Brazilian Portugese, and "genda" in Portugese. Also, "cuer" shows up in medieval Spanish(?) of Leon. I spent WAAAY too long looking at this. But "difardi" shows up nowhere. "Verstu" shows up in Icelandic and maybe Lituanian, while "fona" and "fota" show up in Catalan.

I second that question: How were these lyrics gotten? Are they your transcription from listening to the song? Or are they from some written source?

[The0ne]

Phoenix probably just typed a bunch of nonsense stuff and was like "hey guys, translate THIS!"

[Phoenix]

WOW!!!! U guessed right THEOne! Not. My friend sent it to me from a website. Here is some other stuff that was on top of the lyrics that might help:

Lyrics: Gabriela Robin
Performance: 山本千夏 (Chinatsu Yamamoto)
Composition/Arrangement: 菅野よう子
Transcription by ear: TenAJs

I'll do the http://www.freetranslation.com tommorrow. Way to tired
-_-

[counterattack]

Well, you aren't the only one who want sto know what that language is. It is from an Anime soundtrack (Chikyû Shôjô Arjuna : Into Another World) by Yoko Kanno. It seems that the voice may have been used as an instrument, and nobody knows what the lyrics might mean. An Anime board might be able to help you more.

all,
Having had another look at it, it looks more likge latin than Italian neither do I know any except some phrases like, pro bono, ad nauseum, etc. mostly legal phrases.
