We overcome this wind. (We overcome.) We desire the rain to fall, that it be poured in showers quickly.
Ah! Thou rain, I adjure thee fall. If thou rainest, it is well.
If our women rejoice (it is well) If the children rejoice (it is well) If the young men sing (it is well) If the aged rejoice (it is well)
A drizzling confusion. Confusion, a torrent in flow. If the rain veers to the south If the wind veers to the south
An overflowing in the granary. May our grain fill the granaries.
[Translation by J. H.
