All-knowing, (the eternal palace)

All-knowing,

My great lord:

From the eternal palace,

Wherein we serve,

On the field of Sahiga,

Looking back

At the isles far offshore:

Where on the fresh, clean shoreline

With the blowing of the wind,

Breakers roar

And with the ebbing of the tide,

They go cutting jewelled seaweed:

From the age of gods

An awesome,

Jewelled mountain isle.
