Default Musical Words

A poem I just recently revised, here is the second version.

Listen hear to the beauty of
the passing sounds, the spoken thoughts
of foreign lands. More than the
man-made devices of uniform comprehension,
the simplistic words of unknown meaning
do more to sing the hearts affection.
L'amour conquiert tous.
Did you feel? Was it different?
The striking effect of this alien language.
Consider now, selysana timir condiduron,
the world's only perfectly spoken phrase.
Why is this so? How can this be?
Because not a soul in existence, even mine,
could tell you what those words mean.

I think Trinking was remarking at the beauty of language. It's not only about being able to understand it, but also the lyricalness of it in one's ears. For example, music from another language can be just as provocative whether or not you can actually understand what they're singing.
If you've ever listened to spoken poetry, you'll know what I mean.

Ya that's what I thought it meant. I just wasn't quite confident in my thoughts.
