Göre

     Bana göre dað
     Yalnýzdýr
     Uykusuzumdur
     Daða göre ben

     Ben
     Daða
     Göre
     Deliyim

     Dað
     Bana
     Göre
     Aç

     Daða göre ben
     Uzanamam
     Ulaþamaz
     Dað bana göre



Relatively

     To me the mountain
     Is lonesome.
     I am sleepless
     According to the mountain.

     To
     The mountain
     I am
     Insane.

     To
     Me
     The mountain
     Is hungry.

     According to the mountain
     I cannot reach out.
     The mountain cannot arrive
     According to me.
