186— Dikejang ka saja em- 
pran pemangka na- 
tar tumgoh, 
Nyau dikenudi ka se¬ 
re n t u m embawang 
laboh, 
187— Nyau dipansa saja 
menoa Silin-ilin be- 
kain mali jai, 
Dipansa saja menoa 
Singgol-inggol sang- 
gol mali rempi, 
188—Nyau dipansa saja 
babas repa besun- 
dang luntang; 
Nengah m u n g g u 
mangku besai jumpu 
blakang kijang. 
183—Ngeiantar nunda pe~ 
si la ular kendawang, 
Nyungkah nunda pe- 
nyangah jelu kijang. 
190— Nyau datai di tanah 
luchak disurong k a 
letong papong b a - 
tang, 
Nyau datai di pantai 
nyadai ditingkah pa- 
la tebiang. 
191— Nyau ngindik jam- 
ban bam akar beruru 
nyentang, 
Nyau datai di nenalan 
bari tutu lelawi kla- 
bembang bintang. 
192—Dipansa lalu tunggul 
nugu petebang, 
They leave the plains 
where the thunderbolt 
originates, 
They leave behind them 
the noise of the incessant 
falling of the embawang 
fruit, 
They merely pass through 
the country of Silin-ilin 
whose petticoat never 
wears out, 
And through the country 
of Singgol-inggol whose 
braided hair is never un¬ 
coiled. 
Without a halt pass they 
through the dense jungle 
with its i n t e r 1 a c i n g 
branches; 
They cross then a hill the 
top of which is likened to 
the back of a kijang 
deer. 
They dart away like the 
kendawang snake, 
They start off abruptly 
like a kijang deer with 
its head up. 
They arrive at the wet 
lands where the pools 
are bridged with old bits 
of wood, 
They arrive at the sloping 
land that further on be¬ 
comes a precipitous 
bluff. 
They tramp over a new 
bridge made of beruru 
creepers, 
And arrive at the ill smell¬ 
ing clearing that is fre¬ 
quented by t h e star- 
spangled (or starry bright) 
butterflies. 
They pass by the still¬ 
standing stumps of felled 
trees,
