un drapeau
fait de ciel
et de terre

un peuple
sans nation
sans frontieres

on les compare
aux loups
et aux chats noirs

qui sont aussi des creatures
belles
et incomprises

ils refusent
detre enchaines
et mis en cage

car ce sont les fils
du soleil
et de mere-nature

ils ont ete guides
par les vents de louest
a la recherche
de la liberte
* * *
a flag
made of sky and earth

a people
without a nation
without borders

they are compared to wolves
and black cats

both very misunderstood
and beautiful creatures

they refuse to be shackled
and caged

for they are the sons of the sun
and of mother nature

they were guided by the winds of the west

seeking freedom
* * *
una bandera
hecha de cielo
y de tierra

un pueblo
sin nacion
sin fronteras

la gente les compara
a lobos
y gatos negros

ambas criaturas
hermosas e incomprendidas

refusan de tener cadenas
y enjaulados

porque son los hijos del sol
y de madre naturaleza

fueran guiados
por los vientos del oeste
buscando la libertad
* * *
mogo flago
gie sue andai chelee
hie andai poove

lay manoos
gie nie lay temm
nie amen glanitsue

lay gadje andai lainga yaka
hie may som beezonoya
hie galei mutsie

godalla zoogonee
a lumia dalall lendad
won sue lashay
hie lango elo sue lasho

lomsolia hie gobia nostial nicalel amen

hie may som lay shavey
lay comeska
hie lay pooviaka

a badval an chaima gie belel o com

loday sas de lel blay o podimos bal menday

[janeczka]

Thank you so much! that's exactly what we wanted to do, a timeless piece that sounds like it was transmitted from generation to generation... :)

This is one of those poems that is hard to believe was recently written, instead of always existing.

Just lovely, haunting, timeless.
