It sounds Arabic. Could it be playing backwards? ---

I’ll give it one more try… Maybe someone who speaks French could tell me a few words so I could Google the lyrics? Bump. ---

I’m not fluent in French, but I think it would be hard to make out much even if I were–most of it is obscured by foreground sound, and the bits that aren’t sound like the singer is at the bottom of a barrel. I think maybe I hear something like “et dans poissons” near the end, but even if I heard correctly, googling that is likely to be useless. Endless _Little Mermaid_ links aside, the French seem to love singing about fish.
