Translation 



Black Lizard found the trail where 



Elder Brother had been running, 

 And he came out from the clouds 



With water upon his arms. 



Darkness settles on the summit 



Of the great Stony mountain. 

 There circling round it settles 



On the great Stony mountain. 



The ruddy lieams like spider threads 



Across the sky came streaming. 

 The reddish snakes like spider's weh 



To the opposite side came flaming.
