A King
When dawn hits a child is born.
As people kneel to their prince,
as he sees the world for the first time.
He follows his father's footsteps,
but danger was near.

In the cold night,
the child was running.
His little legs were burning.
Finally, a weak whine came from afar.
His legs were weak.
He was all alone.

He fought.
As he grew, he learned the meaning
of being a king.
When he became king,
the people made a feast of his father and mother honor.

Ah Zabenya.
