2005 Of taking<br />
The rule—<br />
Shaping the town<br />
To prepare his town<br />
That it should be raised,<br />
2010 And preparing the town<br />
For his word,<br />
For his gourd,<br />
For his throne,<br />
For his mat,<br />
2015 For the yellow throne<br />
Of Amayte Ku's return.<br />
Like his seating,<br />
When he is to be seated<br />
In his office,<br />
2020 Seizing his word,<br />
He seizes the town of his gourd,<br />
Seizing the town of his plate<br />
To prepare the town<br />
For the day to pack the tuns,<br />
2025 For the day to change the mat,<br />
To change the throne.<br />
He appears in the lands of wood,<br />
In the lands of stone;<br />
Spoken is his word<br />

Born are the sprouts for his gourd,<br />
The shoots for his drink<br />
On the day<br />
Of bright fruit.<br />

And salty<br />
The liquid<br />
He was to drink.<br />
On the day of counting mats<br />

On the day of taking requests.<br />
Jumping over and over<br />
And seeking and seeking:<br />

Seek their own tails—<br />
