*Listen,
The sun is at stake,
So I must take my leave.
Fire blazes past my past,
Scorching my hunger—
So shed no tears,
Cry no lullabies,
Not unless you hear my last.
Rage blazes past my fate,
Burning my hopes to ash—
But don’t shed any tears,
Don’t kick yourself,
Not until you hear my last.
I have lied by your side,
So let me die for your sake—
Soon, sun will return,
Soon, your pelt will warm
So let me die, for your life.
Take care of him, give him fish and kisses,
Let him cry, let him eat, let him care.
Listen,
You’ve given me a good life,
So I will be happy when I die.*
