"Jebalavan" means voices. Also, this was originally about someone in my story's universe (Eva -Eve-) that was recently released from torture, but it's a metaphor for feeling happy with life after years of depression.
lyrics
And new days will begin!
And old days shall now end!
And so I will stand!
And battles shall be won!
And stories shall be done!
And so I will stand!
One morning I found myself in a deep forest thinking of coming tomorrow.
Crying out a tune of the nostalgic past, I thought of a time once past that couldn't last.
And I sing a lullaby
She do amare kash! (Goodbye, the far off sun!)
And I sing of a time
Mwe kali ninmera! (When you will return!)
And new days will begin!
And old days shall now end!
And so I will stand!
And battles shall be won!
And stories shall be done!
And so I will stand!
That's when he found me and held me like a child, abandoned, lonely and lost
Crying out a tune of the nostalgic past, I thought of a time once past I ran from at last
And I sing a lullaby
She do amare kash! (Goodbye, the far off sun!)
And I sing of a time
Mwe kali ninmera! (When you will return!)
Jebalavan (voices) and a banquet fit for seven kings!
It is only the best we have!
Jebalavan and a banquet fit for seven kings!
Come only here to rest
Tepel (Time), rest your hands and then fall to sleep;
You only need tell when morning arrives.
Tepel, rest your hands and then fall to sleep;
I shall see you when I rise.
And new days will begin!
And old days shall now end!
And so I will stand!
And battles shall be won!
And stories shall be done!
And so I will stand!
