lyrics

Ahn Ahdromahn, Ahley Ah mahn
Ahley Lah Veydroh maht
Ah mahkey ahn, Lah veyahyeem
Ahshon, mah mayoh mahdreem

Ah Misamee, Ah ley Dahveen
Hannah, hannah lah kahree
Mayshon, Mey ah mahn
Vey Ah Drom, Vey ah Nah nom Ah

*****

The curtains rise, The night descends
One story ends and one begins:
Two lovers’ hearts, once torn apart,
Their life-blood spilt upon this spot

The Earth now stained, a Holy Mark,
A relic of the war they fought -
Now a rally to their cause,
Their sacrifice becomes our call to arms

* A Shanis is a song of remembrance. The Shadur, the indigenous people of the Misamee use
these songs as a kind of oral tradition for preserving and teaching history. Such songs may also
be sung for ritual purposes at certain times of the year or during festivals and other gatherings.
