Just did the long Genesis MP3.  I got:

ni'o la cevni co'a finti lei tsati .e lei terdi .i lei terdi cu
kalsa je? kunti .i    je? lei manku cu sesta? lei condi .i lei
lukse'i be la cevni cu fulta lei djacu? .i   la cevni cu cusku lu
ca'a gusni li'u .i je co'a gusni .i la cevni cu glai?zga lei
gusni lei ta kamgu .i seigau? lei gusni lei manku .i la cevni
ecmene?? lei gusni zo   dunli je'e? cmene lei manku zo nicte .i lei
nicte tcu? .e lei dunli cu pa mei zei di? 

As you can see, "le" sounds like "lei".
