Starlings' Song


Original (English & Ilaini)

English Original Ilaini

The song of the starlings speaks of heroic deeds
In the morning rain the heron does its laundry
In the night the lark worships the stars
Who sees the true nature of birds?

Hanleni halsen varyenan laynat
Daysinen verein idanla le listat
Havien hinla laziena forat
Culea rachleni arlea a chalat?

Chy̋tèv cíndafıȅ d’īzíndā;
Sŋímè fcézȅ ílémŷ minâ;
Ié tósà ıáríg snamígau ŋídâ?

The starling sings of deeds of greatness;
The heron ablutes himself in the light rain;
The lark praises the night stars;
Who can discern the intention of a bird?

Valian

English Valian (Saola Külein)

The song of the starlings speaks of heroic deeds,
In the morning rain the heron does its laundry,
In the night the lark worships the stars,
Who sees the true nature of birds?

saola külein kaana rändastin laulaha,
saa mö palia vëi teel sälana rittainä,
saa senne raugaa taevana silmain,
louha ruunana sedein kaha abain?
