Mupëlöryk fuskü kaläperü, pägëra ad ëpüp vred bleŧmü. äzamü zuxule, ad muđäbö zupalatwe.

Cönokna zupläx mucuđüm, ad fulëmëja hypëlöryk muŧusnü. Hyläperü muna gäp mulüjmü fupälacy munü.

English Translation

Born to king and queen, and raised to rule the land.

Pëlöryk raised an army, to steal and loot from man. Villages were burning, and the people bleeding.

Cönok took the challenge, attacking the pëlöryk tribes. His army fought them back to the mountains.

When victory was near, arrow astray slays the king. Cërat ascends the throne, which changes everything.
