Lyrics

Verse 1

Old Tongue

chagli thamel, mishan ni vastri belo nin’balt jalou doko?

Official English

Young lioness groomed from birth Where does your heart Pull you to?

Literal Translation

Young lioness groomed for rule your heart's desire goes where?

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.
