6. I am only followed by them as by young sawbill-ducks, || I am 20 

 only one who breeds their chiefs who try to equal me, | who 

 only walk about in my house like speakers. Ya, ye, a, a! | I 

 am the only great tree, I the chief! Ya, ye, a, a! |

1. I am the great chief who makes people ashamed. I am the great 1 



chief who makes people ashamed. | Our chief brings shame to 

 the faces. | Our chief brings jealousy to the faces. Our chief 

 makes people cover their faces | by what he is doing in this 

 world II all the time, from the beginning to the end of the year, 5 

 giving again and again oil feasts | to all the tribes, awa, a wa! | 



2. I am the great chief who vanquishes, ha, ha! I am the groat 



chief who vanquishes, | for this true chief tried to go around the 

 world giving feasts, to raise the rank of this prince. Oh, go on || 

 as you have done before! Only at those who continue to turn 10 

 around in this world, | working hard, losing their tails (like 

 salmon) I sneer, at the chiefs under | the true chief. Have 

 mercy on them! Put oil on their | dry heads with brittle hair,
