Chorus: To mourn the dead
Brings honor to those who live.
Insatiable delight of wailings
Abounding in labor, carries meaning,
As from a towering rock.
Cool water flows
Unceasing ever: I wail,
For to bear the death of children brings
A labor of lament to women.
Would that in death
I might forget griefs!
Brings honor to those who live.
Insatiable delight of wailings
Abounding in labor, carries meaning,
As from a towering rock.
Cool water flows
Unceasing ever: I wail,
For to bear the death of children brings
A labor of lament to women.
Would that in death
I might forget griefs!
