Runemie Tilyenyu from Ayni by Ale Canque

Runemie Chamanenyun / Tilyenyu - Goodnight my love (male or female)

Mabenen bei tororot – Suffering is not everlasting, therefore one should never despair. (from a facebook post by "Kalenjin History and Culture")

Qhip nayr uñtasaw sarnaqapxañasa - You must walk while looking forward and backwards. (Aymara saying)

Semo frutti scuri e ciari / Dei stessi gelsi / In sta festa qua assurda a Cassean - We are all light and dark fruits of the same mulberry trees, in this absurd party in Cassegliano (Bisiac dialect, Gorizia province, Italy)

Completed just before the ill fated citizenship referendum in Italy, in June 2025. Scritta nei tempi del referendum sulla cittadinanza italiana 2025.

Dedicated to all those who are trying patiently to build their lives whilst preserving their cultures in foreign lands.

Lyrics

Late for the train
Found you in plain sight
Sweeter than video,
Three years of chats
And here we are.

And you took my hand

And it was magic
A weekend with you
Iron Maiden cover band
Runemie Tilyenyu

And it was magic
A weekend with you
Iron Maiden cover band
Runemie Chamanenyun

Four thirty AM
"Why didn't you come before?"
My arm found its place
Your legs tell a story
Connected to my hands and the earth

Semo frutti scuri e ciari
Dei stessi gelsi
In sta festa qua assurda a Cassean

Mabenen bei tororot
"Will I find a man?"
I gave you theories that pain my heart
Now I understand

Qhip nayr uñtasaw sarnaqapxañasa
A row of mulberries
Growing everywhere

And it was magic
A weekend with you
Iron Maiden cover band
Runemie Chamanenyun

Siamo frutti degli stessi gelsi -
Una fila di gelsi
Che crescono ovunque.
Polenta e ugali, arricchiamo da millenni
Questa nostra casa.
Domani scegliamo:
Muri o radici comuni,
Paura? O farine dello stesso grano... Votiamo!

(suma arumax munasiña)
