Lugubrum

Sose Gilimida Sin

Lugubrum


Ben zi bena 
Counting roots and worms 
The sound of slowly rusting metal 
The whisper of the rocks 
Yesterdy seems thousand of years ago 

Bluod zi bluoda 
Chants of an old woman in white 
This leg won't come off 
Winds blow above my head 
Seasons change 
Though I do not notice 
At night I hear the Hares dance 
Though I can but imagine the moon 

Lid zi geliden 
I can still hear the footsteps 
Of those who placed the rocks 
I can still see the sword 
That entered my head 
But I can't remember the pain 
I can still see the stars 
I count them: one for every day 
Fortunately, there are plenty 

Sose gilimida sin 
I keep my sword sharp 
For I will have need for it again...
