This is a conversion of a Pagan Chant (not a translation!). I have changed a few things to make the chant as correct as possible.
Gratitude to Sireayä Mokri, and Le'eylan, for helping me fix the mistakes.
We All Come From The Goddess
We All Come From The Goddess
And To Her We Shall Return
Like A Drop Of Rain,
Flowing To The Ocean
Tree, wind, red sun
All that dies shall be reborn
Tree, wind, red sun
All that falls shall rise again
Old people, with your teaching,
Wisdom's gift shall be our own.
A teacher is in our spirit, right?
Wisdom is the gift of age.
Here is the original English chant:
We All Come From The Goddess
And To Her We Shall Return
Like A Drop Of Rain,
Flowing To The Ocean
Hoof and horn, Hoof and horn
All that dies shall be reborn
Corn and grain, Corn and grain
All that falls shall rise again
Sage and Crone, Sage and Crone,
Wisdom's gift shall be our own.
Crone and Sage, Crone and Sage,
Wisdom is the gift of age.
Pamrel alor nang! *____*
ReplyDeleteI just have a couple of comments:
- tsawke aTUN, not tsawke aTSUN
- I think you need to say: "'ayong nìmun fra'u a zup" instead of "Fra'u a zup 'ayong nìmun", or to keep the rhyme: "zup fra'u a 'ayong nìmun"
:D
Thank you for the corrections. atun was one of the famous typos. They sneak up when I don't look...
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like the piece. :)
Very good, ma Puvomun, tsalì'u lu atxantsan.
ReplyDeleteJust one nit-pitpicker's note:
Here you are using plurals:
Haryu lu mìfa ayoengä sirea kefyak?
So correct translation is:
A teachers are in our spirits, right?
Ma oeyä nitpicker Blue Elf:
ReplyDeleteIrayo si ngaru for spotting that! I had been moving words around in that sentence, karyu at one time was affected by lenition, and I simply missed moving that back to the unlenited form.
Will run and fix!
