Seal Djiril’s Hymn

[Verse 1]
Long are the days gone, andiranda
Long down the sad and windy years
Long from the land of our desire

[Verse 2]
Rain comes and wind and snow, andiranda
Storm cloud and squall do shroud the sea
And peace shall follow us no more

[Bridge]
Now through the hollowing green wave we wander
Long down the stormy seas and sad
Long from the land of our desire

[Verse 3]
Years when the sun was our provider
Milk of the meadows gathering
Winds brought the riches to our door

[Verse 4]
Now are the days come, andiranda
When to the seas again we go
Now do we cry for those green years

[Bridge]
Why, when the winnowing sun was keeping
All of our harvest and our toil
Made we no peace among our kind?

[Verse 5]
Why, when the summering wave was swinging
And all our hills and trees were green
Did we not sow our fields with love?
