Greetings!
It is apparently not a language, but a kind of "'invented' musical language". One supposes
created with the intention of giving words and atmosphere to the music without having to
bother with meaning. Sort of like scat or falderal -- nonsense words set to the rhythm and
melody of a tune. Kind of makes it sound like a vaguely Latin hymn or something, but
obviously is not.

I read in a song book, that the song is based on an old spanish song, which was written in random latin looking syllables and later changed into that language.
It goes like this:
In noreni per ipe
In noreni cora
Tira mine per ito
Ne nomina
In romine tirmeno
Ne romine to fa
Imaginas per meno
Per imentira
And much of the song is only "hmmm hmmm hm hm hm hm hmmmm hm hm"?
