Rai de lum

Vel un dijova
che l fova na piera
raienta, stizënta,
zënza parëdl
L majer tresor
tla tiera dla montes,
funtana de tuesse,
mort y revina
L fova mé n sas,
na scaia de lum,
l priesc de n rëni
y de n popul cundanà

Ray of light

They said
it was a shining,
sparkling stone
behind comparison

The greatest treasure
in the country of the mountains,
a well of poison,
death and ruin

It was only a stone,
a chunk of light,
the price of a reign
and its doomed people
