We make our appeal, we make our appeal, 



We make our appeal, we make our appeal as we go forth. 



We ask for a village, we ask for a village, 



We ask for a village, we ask for a village, as we go forth. 



The fom-th song is a special appeal to the god of night and an appeal 

 to the god of (hiy. In the song the supplicants are made to refer to 

 the night and to the day as being the only supernatural powers who 

 could give to the warriors effective aid. The first stanza refers to the 

 god of night and the second stanza to the god of day. 



A translation of two lines from each stanza will suffice.
