ni'o de'i li bi pi'e pa mu NOTE: ti'u li pa re pi'e ci ji'i no cu
There's no real consensus in practice on what date format detri1 and its modal de'i use, so in this case I've used <day> pi'e <month> to better fit the date into the lyrics. | It was August 15, at about half past twelve |
| tcima pluka .i | The weather was pleasant |
| ca'o le nu se solgu'i co carmi cu ge simlu lo ka bilma gi | And while I was in the bright sunlight I felt as if I were ill, and |
| fau lo nu .ei nai zukte da ku vi le panka cu tavla do | without anything I had to do, I talked to you in the park |
| ni'o lu tolnei le crisa li'u cu | "I don't like the summer," |
| se cusku do ca'o lo zu'o satre lo mlatu noi bazi bajli'a do ku | you said as you stroked a cat that soon ran away from you |
| .i fau lo nu bajra jersi my. | As you ran after that cat |
| na jundi lo du'u fletrogusmi'i te'e le te kruca se ja'i lo du'u na curmi co cadzu | you didn't notice the traffic light by the road that signaled not to cross |
| ni'o lo bevma'e .ue cu janli do gi'e ranji co klama mo'i fa'a ri | A truck ran right into you and just kept on going ahead |
| .i sanra fa loi ciblu .i le ri panci .oi ku jo'u le do se krixa cu se mixre .i | Blood scattered everywhere; its smell mixed with the sound of your screaming |
| le gladanmo cu ge cisma gi cusku lu do zgana le jetnu .uu nai cai li'u | The heat-haze smiled and said, "this is cruel reality before your eyes" |
| .i se ga'a le savru be ra'i lei cinki cu co'u cikna gi'e farlu le loldi | With the noises of insects, I fainted and fell to the ground |
| ni'o ga'u le ckana mi binxo co sanji fau lo zu'o junla sance .i | I awakened on my bed to the sound of a ticking clock |
| ma ca tcika .i | What time is it? |
| du'o le junla cu detri fa li bi pi'e pa vo ti'e li no .i | The clock showed midnight on August 14 |
| mi za'o morji tu'a le fanza sance be le cinki .oi | I still remembered the irritating noises of the insects |
| ni'o da ra'a le tcini cu cizra | Something about this situation is strange |
| .i senva lo nu ka'ai do mi cadzu mo'i pa'o le bu'u panka .i'u | I dreamt that I was walking with you through this very park |
| .i zdani be mi se'ixru .ai | I think I'll go home |
| .i ku'i ba zi bo ca lo nu mi co'a klama cu jundi lo du'u ro loi sruri prenu cu galtu zgana | But then, just when I set off, I noticed everyone around us was looking upward |
| ni'o lo tirgrana cu ge farlu gi mo'i ne'i do tunta ca lo nu spaji | An iron pole fell and pierced through you, taking me by surprise |
| .i tirna fe le do se krixa ku .ii jo'u le sance co bifyjanbe fi loi savru .i | I heard the sound of you shrieking and the ringing of wind chimes over the commotion |
| le gladanmo cu ge cmila gi cusku lu do lifri le jetnu .uu nai cai li'u | The heat-haze laughed and said, "this is cruel reality you're experiencing" |
| .i ca lo nu mi co'u cikna cu sanji le ka cisma fa le do ciblu cokcu xadni | As I fainted, I noticed your blood-soaked body was smiling |
| ni'o lo zu'o ge co'u cikna gi ba le munje cu se lebna cu za'o rapli | Still, the cycle of fainting and having the world taken away repeats |
| .i ranji ze'u le sordekna'a .i ju'o jimpe fa do da le ca tcini | It's gone on for decades at this point; I'm sure you've noticed something about this situation |
| .i loi lisri pa de panra se fanmo .i mi ka'e gasnu lo nu mi'a darca de | These stories all end the same way; I can make us reach that ending |
| .i de denpa vi le ragve tu'a po'o mi | It's waiting for me on the other side... |
| ni'o mi ge bajra vi le dargu gi ba bevma'e se janli se ba'i do .i | I ran out into the road and got hit by the truck in your stead |
| .uo sanra fa loi ciblu .i minra fe lo jvinu be do noi ca'o catlu le mi xadni .i | Blood scattered everywhere, and the sight of you staring at my body reflected |
| le gladanmo ba'e mi cu se ckasu se cu'u lu mi mo'u rinju do li'u | Now I was the one mocking the heat-haze, saying "now I'm free of your restraints" |
| .i mi le crisa djedi ro re'u krefu lifri fau lo nu mi co'a zifre je morsi | And with my liberation in death, I lived through that summer day for the final time |
| ni'o de'i li bi pi'e pa vo do co'a sanji ga'u le do ckana .i | You awakened on your bed on August 14, |
| ba bo cusku lu | and you said, |
| mi za'u re'u fliba li'u ca lo nu do le mlatu cu birka jgari | "I failed once again", cradling a cat in your arms |
