Traduções : inglês (X. [I died but now I live for]), estoniano (X.[Ma surin aga vaata nüüd ma elan]), polonês (X.[Byłem umarły, a oto jestem żyjący]), sueco (X.[Jag var död, men se, jag lever])

X. [Ég dó en nú lifi ég um ]

Ég dó en nú lifi ég um
aldir alda
og ég hef til þess lykla dauðans og heljar

Rita þú nú það er þú sérð:

Ungbörn sem gubba móðurmjólkinni
það er kvef í köldu lofti
og sólljósar hægðir

                                    Réttast væri að draga
                                                 úr fátækt
                       og hlekkja þessa mótmælendur
                                   við vegg
                                                við grátmúra
                                                                       við brjóstþil

Ég á hlutdeild með yður í þrengingunni,
ríkinu & þolgæðinu

Ég þekki verkin þín
Þú ert lifandi í nafninu en samt dauður

Traduções :

língua: inglês

X. [I died but now I live for]

I died but now I live for
ages of ages
and hold the keys of hell and death

Write now what you see:

Infants regurgitating their mother's milk
there's a common cold in the air
and sunlit stool

                                      Rightly we should reduce
                                               poverty
                        and chain these protesters
                                      to walls of houses
                                                    wailing walls
                                                                     breastplates

I am with you in the oppression,
the kingdom & the perseverance

I know your work
You are alive in name and yet dead

língua: polonês

X.[Byłem umarły, a oto jestem żyjący]

Byłem umarły, a oto jestem żyjący
na wieki wieków
i mam klucze śmierci i otchłani

Napisz więc to, co widziałeś:

Niemowlęta zwracające mleko matki
w zimnym powietrzu czuć przeziębienie
i osłonecznioną defekację

                                      Najsłuszniej byłoby zredukować
                                               biedę
                        i przykuć tych protestujących
                                      do muru
                                                    do ściany płaczu
                                                                     do napierśników

Ja, współuczestnik w ucisku i
królestwie & wytrwałości

Znam twoje dzieło
Twe imię jest wciąż żywe a mimo to martwe

língua: sueco

X.[Jag var död, men se, jag lever]

X.
Jag var död, men se, jag lever
i evigheternas evigheter
och jag har nycklarna till döden och dödsriket

Så skriv nu upp vad du har sett:

Spädbarn som spyr upp modersmjölken
förkylning finns i kalla luften
och solljus avföring

                                      Rättast vore att minska
                                               fattigdomen
                        och kedja fast demonstranterna
                                      vid en vägg
                                                    vid gråtmurar
                                                                     vid bröstvärner

Jag har del med eder i bedrövelsen
riket & ståndaktigheten

Jag känner dina gärningar
Du har det namnet om dig att du lever men du är död

língua: estoniano

X.[Ma surin aga vaata nüüd ma elan]

X.
Ma surin aga vaata nüüd ma elan
igavesest ajast igavesti
ja mul on võtmed põrgusse ja surma

Kirjuta nüüd üles mida näed:

Imikud oksendavad emapiima välja
külmas õhus heljub nohu ja köha
ja päikesevalguse väljaheide

                                      Õigem oleks kärpida
                                               vaesust
                        ja aheldada meeleavaldajad
                                      majaseinte külge
                                                    nutumüüride külge
                                                                     raudrüüde külge

Koos sinuga olen vaevas
Kuningriigis & sihikindluses

Tean mida tegid
Oled nime poolest elus, muidu surnud
