For their part, for their part
Throughout the dwelling places of the clouds
The Cumulus Cloud Maidens have their rain as corn flour
mounded on a tray prepared for here.
Because they are going to make that as rain along your planted fields.
For this, you have been praying.
So, when it rains along your fields and
when they shimmer and sparkle with rainwater,
The different kinds of toads, the food-laden toads,
as they move along there with their calls,
they will make pleasing sounds. |
Late twentieth century song sung by the Tsa’kwayna Katsina.
Translated by Emory Sekaquaptewa.
