Translation 



It terrifies me here 



On hearing the loud sound, that one, 



Of Singittoq's drum. 



How I am I going to move about [in dancing]? 



A greater space than this one it being hard to find? 



It terrifies me here 



On hearing the loud sound, that one. 



Qingaloqana and Katuttaq. 



How I am I to move about? 



Just think. That thing. 



My lower circle of snow-blocks^ I hardly know how to 



build it. 

 I continue nevertheless without stopping. Here, too, on 



the floor here. 

 How I am I to move about? 

 It terrifies me here 

 On hearing the loud sound, that one. 

 Tamarsuin and Iviutaq. 



' i.e. for a snow-hut.
