I was listening to my favourite Vangelis record today - Earth - and thought I'd translate this short piece of lyrics.

Nelme ambaquerne
Rappente i kén et nu talelmallor
Ólelme *Rerestenna
*Hekonnaron alestanwa nosse

Tulyanelme sundolmar i kálo palparenna
Núra mí sanarelmaron *elestar
Foalmar nér i helle

Olorelmar nér i nen
Nampelme i ravanda
*Ensintelme min i exa


We were all uprooted
The earth was stolen from beneath our feet
We became a Diaspora
An unnamed nation of bastards

We channeled our roots to the pulse of light
Deep within the galaxies of our mind
Our breath was the sky

Our dreams were water
We claimed the wilderness
We recognized each other
