nama ranlafa ya fasra-fasra nin
amu yunsa sran sin yaminan
a lisriya yufri yahn na ruyunmi
wa yuhra fisa san-ya?

The songs of a bird deal with great things.
The heron dips its clothing into the dew
And the lark worships the sky at twilight.
But who understands being a bird?

nama      ya   ranlafa fasra-fasra  nin

amu yunsa sran     sin yaminan

a   lisriya yufri yahn na ruyunmi
and worship lark  sky  at twilight (light-small)

wa  yuhra      fisa san-ya?
