Phantom Menace choir lyrics
TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2008 - 14:47
Hi, I'm doing an BMus Honours thesis on film music, and I'm analysing the music of Star Wars. Now there's this section of music in Phantom Menace when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are fighting Darth Maul. They're singing something sounding similar to 'cora matta, cora rattama'. I read in an article that the language used is Sanskrit. Does anyone know what these words mean or where I can find out?
