Notes

Kandi is a strongly SOV/OSV-language, which means that the verb-like content word is final. Then, Kandi doesn't really distinguish nouns or verbs.

Do take a look at this and in particular the chapter on the specifier spec.

English translation

The web of life is quickly torn into pieces,
When you the magnificent king
Come from the far-away sea.
You will make the skies' bidding,
You will make laws for us,
You are the saviour who will bring prosperity to the poor.
