We have a tradition towards those who were particularly hostile
Especially for the leaders whose actions towards our people were vile
We reduce them to the title they held, and only refer to them as such
Although for the ruler I fled long ago, even that would be too much
On account of the unfathomable number of lives he laid to waste
I utter my harshest curse, for he deserves it, may his name be erased.
We do not utter his name or title here, in my dwelling in this tree
I am grateful for the blessing that on this distant island, we are free
We must never forget what happened there, or else it may happen again
We remember all those taken from this world, by his hatred way back then
As much as we would wish to remove him from what children are taught at school
Keep alive the memory of those who suffered by his claws so cruel.
