I Have the Strength of Ages / ᎠᏯ ᎤᎭᏎ ᏄᎵᏂᎬᎬᏁ ᏗᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬᏗ ᎥᎿᎢ

I have the strength of ages,
and cannot be contained
in any vision
of the dream.
Behind black and white,
truth and lie,
there is only
a far origin.

ᎠᏯ ᎤᎭᏎ ᏄᎵᏂᎬᎬᏁ ᏗᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬᏗ ᎥᎿᎢ,
ᎠᎴ Ꮭ ᏰᎵᏆᏎ ᎨᏒᎢ ᎢᎦᎢ-ᎨᏒᎢᏔ

ᎬᎾᎨ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎬ ᎣᏂᏗᏢ,
ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎠᎴ ᎦᏰᎪᎩ,
ᎨᏒᎠᏎ ᎤᏩᏌ
ᏌᏊ ᎢᏅ ᏗᏓᎴᎲᏍᎬ.
