This is a Lahabic lament I wrote yesterday. The lament is just part of a
concultural context (the daughter is the daughter of the first High Priest,
the young man is the eldest son of the first King of the Lahabra).
The Lament of Hibi'delagya'rrakhe
Yakhoto'r hiyika'n ru'khe, na'tethale'drapa, na'tethale'drapa,
Yakhoto'r hiyika'n ru'khe, timiqkwo'dhapa na'tethale'drapa.
Tyaiena'l li'khe ya daru'ndraken
Tyaiena'l li'khe gheum ma'mes
Dyaiena'l li'khe gwim daru'ndrapa
Dyaiena'l li'khe gheum ma'mes
Yakhoto'r hiyika'n ru'khe, na'tethale'drapa, na'tethale'drapa,
Yakhot'r hiyika'n ru'khe, timiqkwo'dhapa na'tethale'drapa.
Where have you gone, my daughter, my daughter,
Where have you gone, my eldest daughter?
You looked at the youth
You looked away from us
You wandered with the youth
You wandered away from us
Where have you gone, my daughter, my daughter,
Where have you gone, my eldest daughter?
