Lyrics

vjor vlageł aleħe sefgicþ marevi nemo von?
ea cema natro es cirtoþ varon’moc escolpilt oginame

orosin þriŋa cehaþa łani tfel mečit
pentat anðameca drełes nelčan cevon
sênrarþ gašjodenca’ve torae.
varcþe nesmâevin afčien cþeris;

łelþot šileħes meva megaþ grisþatan ciłas jasen
areles ragan łirla nentan’moc mirlirne se.
cajoþ desa senþels gralsit penta so
