Three bards – v2

only dry bones discovered
but the treasure not recovered
Moskal’s anger brought upon
the Kobzars, the three bards…
 
speaking of misfortune,
of the hero, of the broken,
Bodhan buried naked,
in an empty tomb…
 
but the song continues higher,
of the ancient treasure remaining,
the Great Grave undiscovered,
up on the mountain heights…
