Ancient knowledge in the dust,
Covered with ashes,
Our deceased now forgotten,
As there is no blessing to come from
The hand of the ancestor of sun.
Brothers, remember of your fathers,
Who lived and died on this Earth.
Today, there is no name standing
On their black headboards in your souls.
Spirits surrounding us like old trees
On the darkened road towards the forest.
Recall forgotten memory
Of a thousand-year-old nation;
Used to pray for nature,
Used to be burnt by wild pride.
I am the earth, I give life.
I am the fire, I purify.
I am the wind, I bring enlivening.
I am the water, I give blessing.
