Overview

Cönokna HyGunypekrukö, or "the song of Cönokna" is a short folk ballad from Kythus about the death of Cönokna the second king, and his brother Cëratnawho replaced him upon the throne.

Controversy

Conspiracy theorists hold that Cëratna actually arranged his brother's death, and some versions of this song include stanza's with more direct accusations towards Cërat as as usurper. Whether this is true, or merely grew from dissatisfaction towards the harsh rule of Cëratna, is lost to history.

Kythusave Version

Źuvrasa hy pëlëtünaŧadypëlëtüva, ad źulaspü päkwyfä muleŧe

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

Vykru ön, ge pelul folyme źukwät mupëlëtüna

Cëratna źupläx mupekwyfä, ad źucësku kolöŧu.

English Version

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.
