Notes
The lyrics are largely based upon a quote from Mat, "sa souvraya niende misain ye" ("within my mind I am lost"), and the inscription on the Horn of Valere, "tia mi aven moridin isainde vadin" ("to my call death is no barrier"). However, the meaning here seems to refer to Rand, possibly foreshadowing the emergence of Lews Therin Telamon's voice inside Rand's mind, which is subtly hinted at in the same episode as Rand sees a vanishing figure in the desert at one point.
The alternate lyrics are proposed because there is a pronunciation shift across the three lines: misain ye, isa-ne, mi-sa-in-ne. There is no apparent m sound at the start of the second of these lines, and in the third there is no apparent y sound at the end forming "ye"; there is an additional syllable between what would be the sain sound in misain and the ye sound, and it sounds like "in" or "en" — vinle matches the shape of the audio better than "sain ye". This is consistent between the two utterances of the verse in the song, but it may simply be an artifact of the way the lines are delivered.
