Song of QIumxod, Chief of the Laalaxs^endayo 



1 . I greatly fear our chief, O tribes ! I tremble of this | great means 1 



of causing fear, of his means of causing terror, of the great 

 cause of terror. | Let us try to calm down our chief, | O tribes, 

 else we shall be the object of our chief's anger, || O tribes! 5 

 Wa, ha, ha ! | 



2. Now it is finished, it is finished already what is to be given away, 



to be thrown away by the | prince of our (chief from whom we) 

 always pick (property) and who feeds us, | O tribes, he who has 

 his own great name, great Amaxfdal, great P !ep ladzEyo, | 

 great PlilsElal, great iJaqwag'ila, great One-Far thest-ahead, || 

 chief. I 10 



3. Behold it is nicely finished, O tribes ! what you arc doing, O tribes ! | 



You Uttle ones who try to imitate below what is done in this 

 world at the great height | of the chiefs. Don't try in vain to 

 say this, chiefs, | just keep on walking along, walking ahead 

 of II the little ones who deUberate, the httle hard-struggUng 15 

 ones, the httle ones whom you have vanquished, | who prom- 

 ise to give away canoes, the little ones to whom property is 

 given, the little ones who call property, | the little ones who 

 work secretly for property, the httle traitors, chiefs of the | 

 tribes. |
