====='''Common Translation'''=====

Charl of the sea, storm of tempest, your sailors bow. 
No, blustery wind, no. Do not rise. Do not take root. 
Storm, tremble. Tempest, turn. 
Pass by the sailors upon the vessel. 
Pass by the traders upon the deck. 
Fall, O storm, into the sea’s abyss. 
Dwell in the sea’s abyss, where even light drowns. 
Charl, wrathful and mighty, hear us from foam and flame. 
Sailors chant with salted hands. Traders kneel with eyes to the sky. 
Shield the sailors. Shield the traders. 
Shield the vessel. Shield the soul. 
Tempest, hush. Wind, fade. Storm, forget your name. 
Charl of the Sea, pass us by. Let your fury fall elsewhere. 
Into the abyss, deep and cold, where storms may sleep again.

A Prayer for the Cast Aside

'''Old Kannalan Version'''

Niimalatha, leim of fom, cwyn'mor. 
Mayeth terian the casten. Terian colledig. 
aendy floten, tossed in culd dep. 
Waern cairn isnae, waern gaendyr'e'torendaeg. 
Charl'mor flingen', nae care, nae tether. 
Eve’yn passyn, eve’yn silence. 
Fom cradlen dem, leim soften, dep fastness. 
Terian aendy'ar'fom. Terian aendy'ar'dep. 
Niimalatha, mayeth bringen dem home.

==== '''Common Translation''' ====
Niima-in-Bloom, spring of foam, gentle child of the sea. 
May you shield the cast aside. Shield the lost. 
Souls adrift, tossed into the cold deep. 
Where no cairn stands, where the root is broken. 
Charl of the Sea flung them forth, with no care, no tether. 
Evening comes. Silence follows. 
Let the foam cradle them, the spring soften, the deep keep. 
Shield the soul in the foam. Shield the soul in the deep. 
Niima-in-Bloom, may you bring them home. 
Home in the foam, cairn in the light, peace once again.
