== Transcript with Literal Translation and Notes ==
 
{{Dialogue|speaker=Mierin|subtitle=It's a beautiful song.}}
: [[An]]'[[am]] [[dena]].
{{Literal|text=(It is a) song of beauty.}}
 
{{Dialogue|speaker=Mierin|subtitle=You're from here, aren't you?}}
{{Dialogue|speaker=Mierin|subtitle=You're from here, aren't you?}}
: [[Weladthi]] [[kodome]]?
: [[Weladthi]] [[kodome]]?
{{Literal|text=(your) family (is from) here?}}
 
In this sentence we see that "your", "is", and "from" are all omitted and implied. Weladthi is sometimes used to mean ''home'', but it seems to carry the connotations of where family is rather than a specific dwelling or place.
 
{{Dialogue|speaker=Charn|subtitle=Yes, Aes Sedai. My family still farms these fields. They are bringing in the harvest now.}}
{{Dialogue|speaker=Charn|subtitle=Yes, Aes Sedai. My family still farms these fields. They are bringing in the harvest now.}}
: [[Taak]], Aes Sedai.
: [[Taak]], Aes Sedai.
: Weladthi [[vlagh]]'[[sor]], [[hlin]] {{Phonetic|vlagha}}.
: Weladthi [[vlagh]]'[[sor]], [[hlin]] [[vlagha]].
{{Literal|text=Yes, Aes Sedai.}}
{{Literal|text=(my) family field-work, (they are) harvesting (the) fields (now).}}
 
[[Vlagh'sor]] seems to mean "farm" here. Hlin, a word which is recorded as meaning "those who harvest", seems to also behave something like a participle here.
Vlaghan is used as a plural of vlagh in [[Coming Home]], but here it is heard without the terminating "n". It is possible that either the "n" is hard to hear, or that this is simply a variant plural.
 
{{Dialogue|speaker=Mierin|subtitle=You should go visit them.}}
{{Dialogue|speaker=Mierin|subtitle=You should go visit them.}}
: [[Jala'ti]] [[sein]].
: [[jalou|Jela]]'[[tia|ti]] [[sein]].
{{Literal|text=Go to them.}}
 
Here, jalou is compressed to just jala, though it is possible that if written it would still be written as jalou'ti. "You should visit" is left implied.
 
{{Dialogue|speaker=Charn|subtitle=Today's too important for you, isn't it? I can go tomorrow.}}
{{Dialogue|speaker=Charn|subtitle=Today's too important for you, isn't it? I can go tomorrow.}}

: [[ji'akai|Ji'akai]], [[ca]]'[[matuet]] [[asa]]
: [[Jalanu]] [[welakai]].
: [[jalou|Jalanu]] [[welakai]].
{{Literal|text=Today, (it is) too important (for) you,}}
{{Literal|text=(I) can go tomorrow.}}
 
The most notable thing here is that Charn pronounces asa as "aha". This could be either a particular accent, a mistake either in listening to the audio or in saying the line, or it could represent an alternative form.
The future tense here is used to indicate potentiality; "I can" is implied.

Transcript with Literal Translation and Notes

Mierin
"It's a beautiful song."
An'am dena.
(It is a) song of beauty.
Mierin
"You're from here, aren't you?"
Weladthi kodome?
(your) family (is from) here?

In this sentence we see that "your", "is", and "from" are all omitted and implied. Weladthi is sometimes used to mean home, but it seems to carry the connotations of where family is rather than a specific dwelling or place.

Charn
"Yes, Aes Sedai. My family still farms these fields. They are bringing in the harvest now."
Taak, Aes Sedai.
Weladthi vlagh'sor, hlin vlagha.
Yes, Aes Sedai.
(my) family field-work, (they are) harvesting (the) fields (now).

Vlagh'sor seems to mean "farm" here. Hlin, a word which is recorded as meaning "those who harvest", seems to also behave something like a participle here. Vlaghan is used as a plural of vlagh in Coming Home, but here it is heard without the terminating "n". It is possible that either the "n" is hard to hear, or that this is simply a variant plural.

Mierin
"You should go visit them."
Jala'ti sein.
Go to them.

Here, jalou is compressed to just jala, though it is possible that if written it would still be written as jalou'ti. "You should visit" is left implied.

Charn
"Today's too important for you, isn't it? I can go tomorrow."
Ji'akai, ca'matuet aha
Jalanu welakai.
Today, (it is) too important (for) you,
(I) can go tomorrow.

The most notable thing here is that Charn pronounces asa as "aha". This could be either a particular accent, a mistake either in listening to the audio or in saying the line, or it could represent an alternative form. The future tense here is used to indicate potentiality; "I can" is implied.

Mierin
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow everything will be different."
Welakai?
Welakai aes gadou!
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow all changes!
Charn
"I know it's not my place to ask... But what is it? That you've found?"
Ah, choshih'ath, gavane? Nane asa jaevae?
Ah, (it isn't my place) (but), what? Was (it) you found?
Mierin
"The thinnest part of the pattern. A place I think we can punch through... and find what's on the other side."
Fonnai tamara'simp. Mozhlit ortu, jaendar logae.
