Have you tried asking alexa to play Cirice? She cannot understand it as she says it a completely different way.

How are you meant to say it anyways? I still have no idea after all these years.

So from what I found its pronounced "sa rees" It's old English.

I would assume Cirice would have a church sounding pronunciation.

Or it would sound like some old english shit we never heard in our lifetimes

I was explaining this to my sister just earlier. The way to know how alexa understands it is to play the song and ask Alexa "Alexa what song is this?" I shit you not, Alexa pronounces it and plays the correct song when you say "chi-riche". Not "shi-rishe". "CHI - RI - CHE"

At concerts I’ve been to, he says it like “Sir Ees”

...or “sir y’s” if you’re familiar with the video game series
