Notes
Chagli and mishan are new words introduced here. The translation is relatively straightforward, but note that the official English does not 1 for 1 match a more literal translation.
One less-straightforward aspect is the use of nin'balt, a contraction of ninte'balt or ninto'balt.
The structure belo nin'balt jalou doko is fairly common in Old Tongue, where the question "where does your heart want to go?" is re-arranged to be "where goes your heart's desire?", keeping a larger-scale object-verb-subject structure with "where" as the subject.
Verse 2
attik wadri sei’ascar kazath nin’zavilat vakar gavane?
