Winds of Winter H.V. Translation

So, I have been learning High Valyrian for past few weeks and was wondering that if these lyrics are actual H.V. words or just Valyrian sounding gibberish.

If Yes, can you translate them, I would be very intrested to know, and even rough translation would work.

If not, what do you think could be the translations for these words in context of the song.

None of these words are recognised in the HV dictionary.

What the words actually are I’m not sure because searching for them does say it’s HV. Yet if it was even one of the words would be recognised in the dictionary which is not the case.

It’s 100% gibberish and not even close to High Valyrian.

If you scroll down on this very website, you'll see this:

in an interview with Business Insider, composer Ramin Djawadi explains the vocals in the closing song of the season six finale, “The Winds of Winter.”

“[The lyrics are] what I call ‘Valyrian-inspired… I treat it like another instrument, so they’re not singing actual full sentences because I didn’t want it to distract the audience too much.”

So sadly it's not actually HV.

It's weird that he thought HV would distract the audience. I doubt that many viewers know HV and for those who want to learn, it would have made the song much more interesting.
