He is holding up his hand [painted] with the rays of the sun;
The sun, the sun has come down,
It has come down to the earth,
It has come to her.
He will paint her with red clay,
Long life! Its power is good.
He will paint her with white clay,
Long life! Its power is good.
The sun, the sun has come down,
It has come down to the earth,
It has come to her.
He will paint her with red clay,
Long life! Its power is good.
He will paint her with white clay,
Long life! Its power is good.
