You who otherwise were fear inspiring, 
You whom otherwise none dared tackle! 
He is now one who is eager to stay over 
the night, 
He is now one who wishes to stay after 
the others [?|. 
But though being such a little person of 
that quality, 
Come you hither to me, do! 
(Although being) 
little thing, 
Journey on drum combat against me, do! 
On your little, miserable sledge! 
such a dear, paltry 
ea [moaning as if in pain).

GENERAL NOTE. — After the first translation of the song had been made, 
I received Sufia’s interpretation. Her impression of the content gave another 
meaning. According to this the song contains a challenge to the fellow in- 
mates of the house to accompany the assaulter to the place of contest. 
1. Although he there (or thou there) otherwise is a coward, 
3. Let us begin by taking vengeance on each other. 
4. Let us begin (by) biting each other. 
5. Anyway I begin to feel prompted (or incited), 
6. Let us depart!
