Tree Song

Tree Song (Funeral Song)

We are all seeds Of the Great Tree, Whose strength is in our legs Like the mighty trunks, In our arms As sheltering branches, In our eyes The blue-flower Which unfolds to the sun. We are all seeds Of the Great Tree Whose song is within us.

Utralä (a)Nawm ayrina’l(u) ayoeng, A peyä tìtxur mì hinam awngeyä N(a) aysangek afkeu, Mì pun N(a) ayvul ahusawnu, M(ì) aynar Na seze A ’ong ne tsawke. Utralä (a)Nawm ayrina’ l(u) ayoeng, A peyä tìrol m(ì) awnga.
