'I had four green fields,

Each one was a jewel.

But strangers came

And tried to take them from me.

But my fine strong sons
10
They fought to save my jewels.

And that was my grief', said she.

'There was war and death,
18
Plundering and pillage.
19
My children starved
20
By mountain, valley and stream.

And their wailing cries

They reached the very heavens.

And my four green fields
24
Ran red with their blood', said she.

One of them's in bondage.

In strangers' hands,

That try to take it from me.

But my sons have sons
34
As brave as were their fathers.
35
And my four green fields
36
Will bloom once again', said she.
37
And my four green fields
38
Will bloom once again', said she.
