Bourgnew's Rite
The Bourgnewian Monarch's Wishes
O children of Bourgnew
Do not mourn with loud exclamation
Do not weep over my leaving
For my love transcends regions
My humanity knows no one community
Collectively we are one
Embrace and return and embrace
And return to the ages
Dance for me
Dance for joy
Dance for hope
Dance for love
My passing is your celebrating
For we are forever intwined
My heart is your heart
Your feet are my feet
My hands are your hands
Clap, sing and dance
Dance, sing and clap
Be joyful for my upcoming
And let me rest with my fathers
And nourish like my mothers
Dance troubled away
Dance heartache away
Smile O children of Bourgnew
Free your mind and dance, dance and dance again
