Nakoruru no Inonno(ナコルルの祈り / The Prayer of Nakoruru)

Summary:

While journeying far from her homeland, Nakoruru offers a quiet prayer—to the Kamuy, to the wind, to the forest she left behind.
She fights not to kill, but to protect.
To the wicked god, she offers not her soul, but only her blade.

Work Text:

Kamuy, kor an pe-kirka ka sir o utar isam.

Kamuy utar karuspe, ku-cisak ta ruwe ne.

Ku-utar itak, tura wa isam an.

Ku-kor inonno, e-hecike an ro.

Sir o apkaspe, en wakka isam a un pe.

Rehe arpa, kor unka sir-un ruwe ne.

Kamuy ta e-ompoka ruwe ne, inonno emskay wa isam.

E-wakka kamuy ta, ku-ceppesuy an kor wa an.

 

(EN)

Oh Kamuy, watch over the forest beyond the wind.

May your blessings reach my beloved little sister.

Though my song may never reach her,

Let this prayer be carried gently in its stead.

O nameless blight that defiles the earth,

May your wailing not steal the breath of the woods.

I offer not my life, nor soul.

To your wicked god, I give only this blade.

 

(JP)

カムイよ、この風の彼方にある森を見守りたまえ。

その恵みが、愛する妹に届くように。

私の歌が、彼女に届くことはないけれど……

祈りだけは、そっと運んでください。

大地を汚す、名もなき穢れよ。

その叫びが、森の息吹を奪わぬように。

捧げるは、命にあらず。

汝の神に捧ぐは、ただこの刃のみ。
