HUNROS JORNA

Описание: Recollections in Reverie

An experimental Cornish language film by Mickey Smith & Allan Wilson

Translated & voiced in Kernewek by Gwenno Saunders

Music by 'A Blaze of Feather'

Supported by Finisterre

'Across two decades a clan of curious misfits illuminated the frost bitten frontiers of North Atlantic salt.

A pack of strays with a rare eye for heavy water, a halcyon era of exploration & camaraderie I the cold.

From the supernatural alchemy of Kernow to the raw majesty of Eire, HUNROS JORNA recalls a lifetime of human hearts bewitched by the endless sea.'

HUNROS JORNA (Words)

Many miles
On broken stone
Scarred, forgotten clifflines
Beneath the ravens sky
We searched the coast
For sacred salt

Mil vildir
Dre gerregi terrys
Gorwelow yn ankov ha kreyth
Kigvreyni yn ebron loes leyth
Troesya'n tiwes
War-lergh an holan

Stray kids lit up
By fractured granite
Dancing with the water
Strange alchemy
In movements wild
Refractions feared, unloved
They conjured purpose
In children lost

Fleghes wyls
Yn skeusow karn
Donsya gans an dowr
Pystri ankoth
Yn sommys gwyls
An lywiow kellys yn own, heb kerensa
A soensons towl
Yn fleghes an koll

Belerion
The end of land
A rapture tangible
Raw beauty hides
Communities deprived
Fierce with hope
Hearts of fire

Beleryon
Penn an wlas
Yn sergh kres ha kas
Tekter krev ow kudha
Galar esow pobel da
Gwyls agan gwaytyans
Kolonnow'n leun tan

Where ancient oscillations
Spiral underfoot
While storms illuminate the towns
That raised our pack of wolves
Beyond the confines
Of harbour walls
Kaleidoscopic glances
From the spaces between worlds

An hen donnow
Ow kerdroya yn-dan droes
Lughes ow kolowi an trevow
A fagas agan mayni bleydhes
Yn-hons dhe vuryow kadarn
Agan porth
Gwelow milliw
Yntra'n bysow gwiw

Winters children
Curious, emboldened
Seekers of rare moments
By daylight salt rats
At night we’d gather
For revelations resonant
Through music as through water

Ni yw fleghes gwav
Tont govynnus a'gan sav
Helghoryon mil bols tanow
Rathes holan y'n golow
Owth omguntell may ferow howlow
Yn-unn helghya konvedhyans
Yn ilow hag yn dowr

Duality
Shelter in reverie
Dreamers of tempests
Minds awakening
Liberated
In the chaos and the joy
Where waves explode

Yn dew
Goskes yn ombrederi
Hynrosryon yn anawel
Brys ow tifuna
Yn rydh
Yn derai ha lowenna
Ple vyth tonnow ow tardha

Lands end was our beginning
The haunting siren songs
Of realms beyond horizons
The promise of new dawns
Through hustle, graft & hard yards
We journeyed far from home
To dance amongst the frequencies
Alive in Winters arms

Dhe Benn an Wlas o agan daleth
Kan hus an vorvoren
Gwersyow a'n hons dhe'n gorwel
Myttin yr hwath yn-dann gel
Dre hwel ha lavur, ha gevelya kales
Ni eth mar bell dhia dre
Dhe dhonsya war donnow'n ayr or
Yn-fyw yn byrl yeyn an gwav

Freagh upon the heather
Wild walls of stone
Come hell or heavy weather
Iridescent in the cold

Meyn yn mysk an grug bleudh
Muryow gwyls a garrek
Dre sorr noth an tewedh
Ott golow or an yeynder

Eire
Land of dreamers
Spirit of fire within storms
Of wind, tide & hearts entwined
Bound to the call

Iwerdhon
Ynys pub hunros
Spyrys tan aberth yn anawel
A wyns, ha lanwes ha kolonnow keskelmys
Stroethys dhy'n galow

Shadows in the grey Atlantic
Laughters lonely warmth
Waves of consequence
Merciless elements
Malevolent, adored

Skeuzow war an mor tewl
Gwres digoweth hwerthin
Tonnow avri
Elvennow didregeredh
Drog avrys, meurgerys

Outside the veil of knowing
Arcane secrets, unexplored
Cathedrals for the curious
Supernatural, hidden worlds

Yn-hons dhe gell konvedhes
Kyvryniow yn skeusow pals heb aga thava
Pennegloesyow dha'n re a wovyn
Broyow kydh annown

Bright eyed keepers of the flame
Ghosts of twilight every dawn
Frost bitten on the frontiers
Stunned in wonder
Struck in awe

Gwythysi legaslymm an flam
Tarosvannow mo tarth pub deth
Yn rewes war an orow
Stondyas gans marth
Frappys yn bas

Navigation by hearts compass
Brothers, sisters, daughters, sons
Sanctuary in a breath
Lessons in grace, hard won

Trumach war vor an golonn
Broder, hwoer, myrgh, mab
Yn-unn hwilaz porth y'n enev
Gras ow ry diskans kales

Memories weave constellations
Threads of intuition spun
Dreams & nightmares, testament
To heaving limbs & burning lungs

Kov ow kwia ster war barth
Nydhya neus a vysion
Hunrosow ha hunlevow, dustyni
Dhy wenel ysyli ha skevens leskys

Out in the reverie
Nerves frayed
Half frozen
Fear raging
Unspoken
Still waiting
For the next set to come

Yn-mes yn ombrederi
Skruth dre'n kneus
Hanter rewes
Browagh bras
Dilavar
Hwath ow kortos
Rag an nesa

Out there
Where joy still finds us

Enos
Pleth y'gan trov lowender
