Negw lho cwe shŷc'hâmonaff nâr, Cwec'hŷrh lho hatâr ngec'hŷraff, Cwec'hŷrh lho c'harhôn sogwôran, Tepâle rynŷnaff ffa hashâff Fegw cwemar tegw nug'hôn, cwâ cwemacwen c'han. ô negw fôffan Tepâle rynŷnaff ffa hashâff Pon Temerhôlh C'hetŷl, Cwâm lho henâm hâtaff.	He drifts over dreaming lands, He sings songs of stillness He sings songs of dying oak, Fly Lovers with [the] Birds The gentle prick of forst comes in freezing water and drifting time, Fly Lovers with [the] Birds For Silent Cwetŷl, He knows what is hidden.

Notes

literally 'dreamers'
literally 'those not alive'
a play on words as peadid can refer to both a amorous couple and a pair of a bird that migrates south during winter
a “frozen” phrase meaning 'frostbite', a more modern version would be lumallaega.
literally 'he sees secrets!'.
