Elda arwa ilya isseo<br>
Elda, possessing all knowledge<br>
Mammen naa melindo<br>
Where is my lover?<br>
An I malle naa quanta moore<br>
For the path is full of darkness<br>
Ar inya rucin nauvaaro vanwa mi lore<br>
And I fear he will be lost in slumber</p>

Chorus:<br>
Inya ringa ar ista ve lome<br>
I am cold and grey as nightfall<br>
Mi hrive yassen tulu elen<br>
In winter that comes without a star<br>
Ea lemya estel ramen<br>
Is there still hope for us?</p>

Inya vainolė an naa melda<br>
I quiver for my beloved<br>
Ulca caita larta son<br>
Evil lies in wait for him<br>
Tultani apacenyė, nira wilioa<br>
Send me a vision, will I sail away<br>
I hiswa ciryanna, ar hehta valdė<br>
Upon a grey ship, and forsake happiness?</p>

(Chorus)</p>

La cirya lerta colni et orėrya<br>
No ship can bear me from his heart<br>
Lartan, lartan, lartan<br>
I wait, I wait, I wait<br>
Lartan<br>
I wait…</p>
