On the whole Shiren line-- I think it might be gibberish cobbled from different languages.
I also attempted a transliteration of what is being said (phonetically, since I do not know the literal words)
1: Oh foes mig dich daun (dawn)
2: Gozemetch up!
3: Um, ni bezo no bi maday / ma-de / ma-ne?
4: Cheraze mi da?
5: Cheraze mi da! (There's a small inflection difference between these two that make it sound one that's a question, one is a exclamation, like You Got The Thing!)
5: Ohmos! D'Og shi na yo
6: Ogs pretenshi
Parts of it sound oddly Germanic, but that might be due to weird accents. Things like the first line, where Dich sounds like it'd be expected in Old English. 4 and 5 both sound like French with an oddly Japanese sentence structure. Other parts sound like Japanese, even if nonsense, such as the second.
My vote goes for gibberish.
I found a video of Gohdan's little speech, and found out what some of the clips relate to:
"Gozemetch up!" is "Accept this final challenge..."
The declarative "Cheraze mi da" is "O, chosen one..."
"Ogs Pretenshi," from what I can tell, is "Go forward with caution." Why does 'Pretenshi' seem to relate to 'Caution?'
The questioning "Cheraze mi da" is, again, "O, chosen one..." Which means that they had some sort of structure in mind, lol.
"Oh foes mig dich daun" is What will now come to pass is tied to your fate- to the path you have chosen." (Which is my favorite quote)
"Um, ni bezo no bi maday" seems to be "The path can now be opened."
What's left is "Ohmos! D'og shi na yo," which at this point can only match up to "You have done well to find this place."
So. That's that. It looks like the DID put forth a good effort to make it sound like an actual language- it could be a precursor to Midna's speech patterns.
Might also add that while it is used, Daphnes Nohansen speaks after touching the Triforce, as well.
Edit: I did a little work on Google and found that 'Ogs' in 'Ogs pretenshi' could be a form of 'Og,' which is appearently German for 'and.' 'Pretenshi' might be a mispronounciation of the Italian word 'Pretensi,' which means 'pretension.'
Does 'And pretension' make any sense?
