VIOLET ON THE MOUNTAIN<br />
Why should I let you return?<br />
Dali vanished from his sight,<br />
Stranding Betgil on the cliff.<br />
He held on by his right hand,<br />
He held on by his left foot,<br />
Poor Betgil, unhappy Betgil!<br />
There is no chance I’ll return.<br />
Give this message to my friends:<br />
May you never forget Betgil.<br />
Give this message to my mother:<br />
For my soul bake kut and ch’ishdwar<br />
To be offered day and night.<br />
Give this message to my wife:<br />
Don’t replace me with another.<br />
Betgil fell down from the cliff.<br />
His companions fetched his body.<br />
Today is whose festival?<br />
Today is whose festival?<br />
St. George’s festival.<br />
Where is this banner from?<br />
St. George’s shrine.<br />
St. George, without his belt,<br />
Walked around the wall,<br />
On the ground where he had tread<br />
A cypress tree came forth.<br />
The woman or man who sinned against it<br />
Straightway came to ruin.<br />
Samaia<br />
Samaia, one of three<br />
— Oh, how lovely you are;<br />
I was in love with Samaia<br />
— Oh, how lovely you are;<br />
Liso, Liso, so the wind sings<br />
— Lisim dalaleo;<br />
The peregrine falcon spreads its wings<br />
