39—Enti kami penyanggit 
oncla tau cliransi kita, 
Gam Rapit, alai nga- 
ding orang ti teluit; 
tau me kami digege- 
1 a r kita penyanggit 
pisit jarang tanchang. 
40— Enti kami atap enda 
tau diransi kita, eng- 
gat seput jampat Ini 
Ruai Brambat, alai 
ngading orang ti turn- 
pat; tau me kami 
digegelar kita sirap 
singkap ladang grung- 
gang. 
41 — Enti kami prabong 
enda tau diransi kita, 
tengkurong rekong Ini 
Jelu Rengayong, alai 
ngading orang ti pum- 
pong; tau me kami 
digegelar kita penam- 
pong prabong tunggal 
tulang. 
42—Enti kami kaki atap 
enda tau diransi kita 
enggat seput jampat 
Ini Ruai Brambat, alai 
ngading orang ti turn- 
pat ; tau me k a m i 
digegelar kita penem- 
pap sengangap gend- 
ang pulang. 
As for us—the laths to 
which the roof-covering 
is tied—you cannot blame 
us, Oh Close-fitting Mo¬ 
lar-Tooth, when you re¬ 
call to mind those who 
died ; we are only aware 
that you betitled us the, 
close-fitting laths on 
which the roof-covering 
is tied far apart. 
As for us—the shingles— 
you cannot blame us, 
Oh Grand-mother Ruai 
Brambat who breathes 
quickly at intervals, when 
you recall to mind those 
who died; we are only 
aware that you betitled 
us a piece of grunggang 
wood shingle. 
As for us—the roof—you 
cannot blame us, Oh 
Grand-mother Jelu Reng¬ 
ayong with the sweetest 
of voices, when you recall 
to mind those who died ; 
we are only aware that 
you betitled us the one 
who can join roofs to¬ 
gether with a single 
beam. 
As for us—the eaves—you 
cannot blame us. Oh 
G r an d - m o th er R u a i 
Brambat who drawest in 
thy breath quickly at in¬ 
tervals, when you recall 
to mind those who died ; 
we are only aware that 
you betitled us the indis¬ 
tinct sound of a beaten 
drum when a change is 
made in the time. 
42. When the Dayaks change the tune of their drum the commencement 
of the new tune is indistinct, being beaten so gently.
