Mi moth gwilwileth ortha
Na hîr lhûg ngonn awartha.

Sui cuil, sui cuil.

Ne galadh seryn erthar
Nu Ithil ngael aderthar.

Sui cuil, sui cuil.

Or ael heledir dortha
Di ‘olf dhannen lim dartha.

Sui cuil, sui cuil.

In a pond, a butterfly rises
By a stream, a snake abandons a rock.

Such is life; such is life.

In a tree, lovers meet
Under the glimmering Moon they reunite.

Such is life; such is life.

Over a pool, a kingfisher dwells
Under a fallen branch, a fish endures.

Such is life; such is life.
