MAJANGLAL AMENDAR
Majanglal amendar
O paj ni xasavola
I jag ni korhavola
E balval e patra čumidela.
Majanglal amendar
I phuv sasa khamni
Ni tromala khonik lako dji te azbal
Ni e drosin
Ni e ćir
Majanglal amendar
E ruva sesa paćamne
Thaj poloke
E kašten baxt lela kana e čiriklja resena
E luludja sesa kujbo čirikljengo
Phralikano sasa trajo e mačhengo
Majanglal amendar
E balval andar o učhipe muj dela
O paj andar o haripe vakarela
E jag andar e sune svato kerela
Majanglal amendar
Ni
Majanglal amendar
Ni limori
Ni kher

(From: What country)
I sit by the edge of a swimming pool, dipping my feet in the deep water.
Someone pushes me in. Perhaps he wouldn't have done it, had he known I can't
swim, I think on the way down. I sink till my toes touch the bottom and then I
rise. I pull my head out of the water and know that now I should be screaming
"Help!" before I go under again, but I forgot what country I'm in and what
language I'm supposed to shout in.
