I wanna know because I know for sure that pretty much every song with vocals in it has actual lyrics in some language, but I haven’t heard anything about Jago’s and Maya’s theme being part of that. You can obviously hear “Jago” being chanted at portions of Tiger Warrior, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of the lyrics can’t possibly be made up. Anyone know one way or the other?

No idea about Jago’s, but Maya’s for sure is just a made up phonetic language bit by Ali Edwards, the singer!

Jago’s theme says “Tiger lives in Jago” i know that much, but i think most of it is Tibetan gibberish.

Mick Gordon has said multiple times that the lyrics fro Jago’s theme and Omens theme are just Tibetan gibberish and for the most part aren’t real words.

It is also Tibetan throat singing at the same time 
“Great Mysterious Monk,
Tiger Lives in Jago,
High Above the Mountains,
Tiger Awoken Jago.”
I always pictured if it translated to something like this.

According to an article I found, the lyrics are supposed to be “incoherent” Tibetan chanting. Turns out, Tibetan is hands-down the hardest language to write the characters of, so odds are if the lyrics do have a translation, you’d need a Tibetan person to translate and write them down.
However, I listened to the chant about 100 times and romanized the phonemes as best as I could. No amount of effort will probably tell you the accurate characters to use to write these phrases (because it’s super complicated), but at least you can try to mimic what they’re saying more closely:
Chant:
“(N?)Yu Tah Sha-Nen Nin-Gen Jago
Fung-Ah-To-Ko-Kah-Wa
Ta-Yah Le-Te Jago”
Bridge:
“Shen-Gun-Nee Ta-Yuh-Yah
Tai-Nee Moe-Gah Moe-Gah Lah
To-Go Oh-Rah Eh-Sey Sha
Tai-Nee Su-Nee (N?)Yu-Ree Dah
Kan-Yeh Eh-Sun Eh-Sun Yeh
Tai-Go-Jee (Ny?)eh-Sun Yeh
Hon-Gan-Ro-Gah Ee-garu Yeh
Nyeh-Sun-(N?)Yeh Nyeh-Sun-(N?)Yeh”
Hope you enjoyed this!
