Translation 



At early dawn I entered, 



Entert'ci in the white light of day. 

 And my heart flamed with power 



As 1 entered the magic house. 



In the lofty feather house 



His magic is increasing, 

 And he moves very slowly 



With the power in his heart. 



Elder Brother first came forth; 



Eliler Brother first came forth. 

 And with his shining power 



Governed over all the land. 



Earth ^lagician became angry; 



Earth Magician became angry, 

 And with his magic power 



He destroyed all the houses.
