"Antigonish" nach Hughes Mearns

Dirpija uan zu zhaadu
Viziezi u rijan nin necht'evoviu kuudu.
Diure necht'evoviu kuudu okara;
Kerez, kerez nin zavovu avna,


Kuan vinezi kurtegu altyym di'fina uhn trei,
Zu rijan daldeveviu kuudu par myya'li.
Per kuan optyezi kintur zu hajm,
Kuudu necht'pudezi viziem a'mali!
Zavov avna, zavov avna, inde nelaan necht'vinev mais!
Zavov avna, zavov avna inde vitti, necht'krazhkav za pertaza...


Altyym di'fina viziezi uan zu zhaadu
U rijan nessur nin necht'evoviu kuudu.
Diure necht'evoviu kuudu okara;
Ach, komm kerez nin zavovu avna.




English Translation:

Yesterday, upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today;
I wish, I wish he'd go away.


When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me.
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back anymore!
Go away, go away and please don't slam the door...


Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today;
Oh, how I wish he'd go away.
