Khauftan Baange from Mandnyan Shaam by Gaekhir Republik

Haaye yi kis laej aasmanas
Mei jahanas annigot gov
Shaal vungaan kyazi doli zaanpaanas
Mei jahanas annigot gov

Khauftan baange Tsoang ha Tsheati gov
Pyom ha maale mandnyen shaam
Nanni nabbe douth pyov myenis waeranas
Mei jahanas annigot gov

Moutte rang yas fyoor sui zann zinde gov
Kyenh no wuch tyem doh tai raat
Shaam sulei gov kyazi yath khaanas
Mei jahanas annigot gov

Qoh tai baal tui tsaangi pyeth pyaraan
Kar nyeri hard’ui bei pei sheen
Wostuer’wann woath maenz toofanas
Mei jahanas annogot gov

Hol kol insan zaer sey patsyomut
Chun aazmovmut bei Aadam
Gharre kyazi pushrooth bei gaerzaanas
Mei jahanas annigot gov

Translation

What spider webs have veiled the sky?
My world is but darkness now.
Why jackals prowl at palanquins?
My world is but darkness now.

My lamp went out at evening Azaan,
Dusky gloom in chase of afternoon light.
Clear skies sent hail on my desolation.
My world is but darkness now.

Death kissed faces were turned to life
They made no note of day or night.
Why the early nightfall on my inn?
My world is but darkness now.

Hills and mountains longing since daybreak,
When will autumn wane and snow again?
There he descended the tempestuous Wostuerwann.
My world is but darkness now.

Broken men place faith in heedless people -
Then afresh is Aadam’s endless trial.
Why leave the home to unknown people?
My world is but darkness now.
