1.

Infra muro Cornīnī, X homines stantrum.
Un cecānus tremblat, ānta silva os tenet.
Ten stand beneath the wall of Corinium.
One seer trembles, while the forest holds its mouth.

2. (Crowd, murmuring)

Audiant, sed credant nōn —
“Dī magnī, vel larvæ?
Ai maen y gŵr yma’n sôn am dduw neu cysgod?”
They listen, but do not believe —
“Great gods, or ghosts?
Or is this man speaking of a god or a shadow?”

3. (Seer)

Sento flamūram de lōnga oriens —
A’i ddanfonwyd Krishna?
Cantat vocem dan y croen byd.

I feel flame from the long East —
Was Krishna sent?
He sings a voice beneath the skin of the world.

4. (Crowd)

An vīdistī hoc? Est somnium?
Ai freuddwyd yw hwn?
Have you seen this? Is it a dream?

5. (Seer)

Arcus tremblat — Arjunus, fratrum inter,
breich lui’n crynu,
galon ef yn llosgi fel tân dan law.

The bow trembles — Arjuna, caught between brothers,
his arm shaking,
his heart burning like fire under rain.

6. (Crowd)

Hīc vīrum āmer — sed quis est iste?
Un brenin, neu ynfyd?
We love the warrior — but who is he?
A king, or a fool?

7. (Seer)

Calibān! Filius insulae, līngua fracta,
ond clyw e’r sêr yn canu.
Caliban! Son of the island, with a shattered tongue,
yet he hears the stars singing.

8. (Crowd)

Bestia est, servus est — cur ploras pro illo?
Nid yw’n un ohonon ni… ac eto, pam y dagrau?
He is a beast, a servant — why cry for him?
He is not one of us… and yet, why the tears?

9. (Seer, rising)

Cavum aperitur — fissus est tempus.
Mae’r wal yn hollti — mae’r byd yn siglo.
The hollow opens — time is torn.
The wall is splitting — the world trembles.

Racursus venit — spirālis morsus.
Tonn-seith y môr du — camragwyn a ddaw.
Racourse comes — the spiral bite.
The seventh wave of the black sea — a crooked light approaches.

10. (Crowd shivers)

Lūx tremolat — terra mollis — sonus alienus.
Yr awyr yn sgrechian — a’r pridd yn peidio ateb.
Light flickers — the ground softens — a foreign sound.
The sky screams — and the earth will not answer.

11. (Seer, touching the breach)

Leviatānus… nāvis in pectore…
mare in pectore…
ego in pectore.
Ac wyf fi — yn ei galon ef.
Leviathan… a ship in his chest…
the sea in his chest…
and I… am in his heart.

12. (All, barely whispering)

Tempus frangitur. Nōs vidēmus,
nōs audīmus,
nōs…
nōn sumus sōlī.
Ni’n gweld. Ni’n clywed. Ni… ddim ar ein pen ein hunain.
Time breaks. We see.
We hear.
We… are not alone.
