Our Corrs Fan Base research team has painstakingly analyzed the song, "Give Me a Reason."
At about 2:32 into the song, following Sharon's violin solo, one hears a strange-sounding utterance that sounds somewhat like 'guilty a mama-na."
We researched all known Nordic, Celtic, and other Indo-European languages, ancient and modern. Steve thought we had come close. He thought the words in Icelandic meant "I have lint in my belly-button." None of the others agreed with him, however.
We were turning "in blue" from a lack of success.
Then one day, Swantje came up with the brilliant idea to play the unknown sound clip from "Leave Me Alone" in reverse. A couple of months later (after one Harp lager) while scratching his head, the thought came to Steve: "Hey, let's try the clip from "Give Me A Reason" in reverse too!!
IT WORKED!!!!
This is actually the words "body's weak" from the very next line of the song played in reverse.
Here's what it looks like:
(Violin solo)
So what's a girl like me to do
Drowning, drowning in you
And who's to save me from the blue
And carry, carry me through
kaew s'ydob, kaew s'ydob [Brenden language]
'Cause now my body's weak so just
Give me a reason.

The first part of this clip is played forward, followed by a few seconds of silence, then it is played in reverse.
