I donīt know much about Gaelic, but as a native German speaker I can swear you that the whispered words at the end of "Hello Earth" are without any doubt a perfectly correct german sentence with a certain poetic quality. Gaby Zangerl whispers with a highly accurate pronunciation the words: "Tiefer, tiefer - Irgendwo in der Tiefe gibt es ein Licht!" which translates to "Deeper, deeper - somewhere in the depth there is a light!" - as some of you already have mentioned correctly.
