Guilty woman,
Lost in the forest,
Seduced by a god;
Despite her vows
And better sense.
That guilty woman,
Condemned to be recluse;
We sing of her sons,
Of their fight
Of the mighty city,
Founded on blood.
But everyone forgets
The woman
The woman who loved
When it was forbidden
The woman who was closed
Young and alive into a cell
And forgotten.
