The "language" is Pseudo-Arabic and, thus, untranslatable.

As I mentioned today in the topic "Imaginary Languages", it might make more sense to put such into the "Unknown" category since it's untranslatable.
Or is Pseudo-Arabic like Pseudo-Latin (for which we have a category), i.e. not really that language but close enough to kinda make out what it might be supposed to mean?

As far as I know, the prefix "pseudo" before a language simply means that it's trying to imitate the language in question, without the goal of conveying any meaning at all, like the lyrics of Era. True, according to one of the answers, at the end of this song there's a "little passage" with two meaningful sentences, translating into
"Tell me my dear,
Tell me my mother".
The rest are existing or sounding-like-existing Arabic words in a completely meaningless order.
I had no aim of altering the classification of the lyrics' "language", I simply wanted anyone curious to know what to make of the words and meaning of the song.
I'm not sure, but could this be a transliteration from Arabic?
