Chapter Text

Ke'sushir, ner ad'ika:

Gar buir bal buycika

Cuy cabur bal aranov.

Ba'juri bal'ban bralov.

Morut'yc olar,

Nehutyc Orar.

Listen, my child:

Your parent and cradle

Are guardian and defense.

[They will] raise you [with] definite success.

[You are] safe here,

Restless Thunder.

Ke'sushir, ner ad'ika:

Gar buir o'r yaimika

Ja'haaili buruk'yc,

Par gar cuyi bid vutyc.

Morut'yc olar,

Nehutyc Orar.

Listen, my child:

Your parent in [your] room

Watches dangerously,

For you are so special.

[You are] safe here,

Restless Thunder.

Ke'sushir, ner ad'ika:

Gar buir ret'lini tsika

Jariler gar aru'e,

Muun'bajir ti irude.

Morut'yc olar,

Nehutyc Orar.

Listen, my child:

Your parent [is] always ready

To ruin your enemies,

Teaching [them] a lesson with [these] arms.

[You are] safe here,

Restless Thunder.

Ke'sushir, ner ad'ika:

Gar buir a'den skira

Jarese shukur nuhoy.

Kyr'amu go'shereshoy.

Morut'yc olar,

Nehutyc Orar.

Listen, my child:

Your parent's rage takes personal vengeance

[Upon] suicidal fools disturbing [your] sleep.

Killing [them] gives [me] lust for life.

[You are] safe here,

Restless Thunder.

Notes:

Babies are LOUD, so calling a baby Lively/Feisty/Restless Thunder seems poetically appropriate.
