Ni nallog os sad min faer *ragui nîn.

Ach ab naergon, iston i telin gi *chired darthol ennas.

*Pi dannanc, ceninc i venel ben-’land or ‘wen.
Il-lu de cheninc, i thraed luin thia cýrad.
I faer ‘wîn ned i padranc bo i ven and ereb hen.

Remaining Always Eternally

You call out to me from somewhere within my fragile soul.
Your voice like a dream, saying to me to stay in the dream.
I can’t stop these flowing tears, or the pain in my heart.
But after lamentation, I know I’ll find you waiting there.

If we fall, we see the boundless firmament above us.
Every time we see it, the blue hue seems to renew.
Our spirits as we walk on this long, lonely road.
The end isn’t seen, we must welcome fate.

Saying farewell, my heart stops, in softness I feel.
My silent body begins to listen to reality.
The wonder of this life and of death’s tranquil mysteries.
The wind, the town, and the flowers dance together sweetly.

La la la la la la…

You call out to me from somewhere within my fragile soul.
Your voice like a dream, saying to me to stay in the dream.
Why speak about sorrow, or about life’s painful woe?
Instead let those same lips, sing a soft song of love.

Don’t forget these memories and they may forever lead you.
Hear their whisper, the course of life streaming through.
If your hopes break, memory always remains,
To remind you that those dreams glimpsed that which is dear, beloved, and true.

Windows of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn,
Let my silent, empty body be filled and reborn.
No need to search outside, or to sail across the ocean,
For shining here in me, it’s here in me,
I found the light of your voice; it stays always eternally in me.
