Regasu [English translation]

Morna, you that I have known

Since I was nothing but a child nestling against my mother’s breast

When I go, it is you, o morna

that I would still wish to hear!

Your vigour

Captivates my heart,

Ah, if only I could

Quench my thirst at the cup of your melody!

I am the prisoner of your spells,

Damned by your curses,

And my breast is crushed by your obsessive presence:

But that doesn’t prevent me from loving you, o morna!
