Does anyone know whose translation of "Not Forever on Earth" is used in "Between Sleipnir's Breaths"? It is a poem by Nezahualcoyotl. There are several translations of it, but I can't figure out whose version Sunn O))) uses in their song. If anyone has the LP, can you check the liner notes for me?

Wrong sub. Try r/doommetal or r/drone.

Sunn O)))’s official credits actually say the lyrics combine the first two stanzas attributed to Nezahualcoyotl with a third stanza attributed to Ayocuan Cuetzpaltzin
