The sun, the rays of the sun, he is holding up his hand [painted] with them;
The sun has come down,
It has come upon you,
It has come to you,
It has gone into you.
White clay, its power is good,
Long life!
He will paint you red with it,
He will paint you white with it,
Long life! Its power is good.
The sun has come down,
It has come upon you,
It has come to you,
It has gone into you.
White clay, its power is good,
Long life!
He will paint you red with it,
He will paint you white with it,
Long life! Its power is good.
