On a wing of smoke.<br />
O halls raging, running with flames, 1300<br />
Defeated by fire, <strong>and</strong> the foeman’s spear.<br />
Children hear me!<br />
Heed your mother’s voice!<br />
You call the dead with your cries.<br />
[Throwing herself to the ground]<br />
An old woman, I lie on the ground,<br />
And beat the earth with my two h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
We follow you <strong>and</strong> kneel on the ground,<br />
Calling on our poor dead husb<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
We are carried off, dragged away….<br />
Pain, pain you cry.<br />

Hecuba<br />
Leaving my country for a house of slavery.<br />
Io io.<br />
Priam, Priam,<br />
You are dead, without a tomb,<br />
No loved one close,<br />
No knowledge of my suffering.<br />
Dark death covered his eyes<br />
Chorus<br />
