Lyrics
Ankevi a Wrug (I forgot)
I forgot how to lie
Forgot how to say goodbye
I forgot how to cry
Forgot how to keep my eye on the prize
My heart has a line
It runs to the earth straight down my spine
My ankevi a wrug (I, I forgot)
Fatel leverel gow (How to lie)
My ankevi a wrug (I, I forgot)
Fatel leverel duw genowgh (How to say goodbye)
My ‘m beus linen salow (My heart has a safe line)
Neb a dres ow heyn dhe’n dor distowgh (That goes through my back straight to the ground)
Kellys ha kevys (Lost and found)
Enevow ygerys (Souls opened)
Diwvregh ystynnys (And arms around)
Dhe’n flogh dhymm kelmys (This child I’m bound)
Ankevi a wrug fatel bos kelys (I forgot how to be hidden)
Ha fatel gudha bos ankombrys (And how to hide being embarrassed)
Ankevi a wrug fatel assayis vy (I forgot how I tried)
Kyns an mortid dh’y dhri dhymmo vy (Before the tide bought it to me)
Yma dhe’m kolon linen rydh (My heart has a free line)
Neb a dhe’n dor dhyworth down ynnov vy (That goes to the ground from deep within me)
I forgot how to hide
Forgot how to drop my eyes
I forgot how I tried
Before it came in with the tide
My heart has a line
It runs to the earth from deep inside
