Original lyrics
Kamino feo de la muerte por debasho nieve prieta pedaso de karvon kemado. el sol ariva en sielo ni arvoles ni pasharicos ni flores ni yervizikas. Rika Kuriel novia de sangre delgadika delgadika su korason kondja korlada Berbil siego en su garganta kanta su korason y alma sin boz ni palavras asta la fin esta' kantando Rika Kuriel flor de sangre tu novio ya afogado a la puerta de Ganeden ayi te esta' esperando
Translated lyrics
A path towards death where the snow is black among the burning coal. The sun is high in the sky there are no trees no birds no flowers no green meadows. Rika Kuriel. wife of blood. so thin so slim your heart has been pierced like a mute nightingale you sing your sorrow of your soul and your heart..you'll sing without voice..without words till the end. Rika Kuriel suffering flower your husvabd is drowning..he's waiting you at the door of Gan Eden"
