30 You who dwell in high places, 

 For this you live at sacred places 

 Round about on all the mossy 



mountains. 

 My fathers, 



To all your ladder descending chil- 

 dren 

 35 You will grant your power.-' 



In order that my children may 



have strong hearts 

 It is now your day. 

 From wherever you stay perma- 

 nently 

 Your massed clouds filled with 

 living water, may you send forth. 

 40 Making your road come forth from 

 where you stay permanently. 

 With your rain caressing the earth. 

 With your terrible lightning. 

 Make your thunders resound! 



45 At Itiwana may you pass me on 



my road. 

 When you have passed me on my 



road, 

 My mothers, 

 My children. 



All the different kinds of corn, 

 50 Nourishing themselves with their 



fathers' waters, 

 Tenderly will bring forth their 



young. 

 When they have finished their 



roads. 

 When they are old, 

 55 My children. 



My ladder descending children, 



Will bring in their children. 



All the different kinds of corn, 



Into their houses. 



That they may always be the ones 



toward whom our thoughts 



bend, 

 60 For this all my children carefully 



have reared their young. 

 All my children 

 Will make tlieir roads come into 



their houses. 

 Staying there permanently. 

 Your young increasing. 

 You will alwavs remain.
