Lets discuss this cultural tresure trove in the comments under the song. Any ideas what Maria's part could be saying?

hey. "anoana" could mean "mother" or "grandmother" (or just "old woman'), if it comes from form "anōn".
source: a handbook od germanic etymology (vladimir orel).
i think that translation fits pretty well, especially if their music video really refers to the lyrics
