Lyrics
Old Tongue
bala'vakye shaia
al Aes Sedai
greanin an saidin
Official English
Channelers of power
The women of Tar Valon
Who cannot speak untruths
Yet twist minds all the same
Cautioned by the memory
Of the Breaking of the World
The Aes Sedai
Channelers of power
Notes
No literal translation or translation notes are included here, as the lyrics are largely the same as The White Tower. The official English is truncated for the last two verses. However, there is one line of difference with The White Tower:
No pakita souvra'an — "but minds twist" — rendered in the official English as "yet twist minds all the same".
Here we see souvra'an is the plural of souvra. Pakita and dred both translate to "twist".
