Ian van Dahl's dance single Castles in the Sky

The other night I heard Ian van Dahl’s dance single “Castles in the Sky” for the first time. It is sung by the Belgian singer Annemie Coenen. In the lyrics I clearly hear something like this (bolded parts mine):

I’m wondering about the bolded sounds I hear–is it a Belgian thing? None of the online lyrics I found include this syllable.

Any Belgians on the board?
