Young Moon!
Hail, Young Moon!
Hail, hail,
Young Moon!
Young Moon! speak to me!
Hail, hail,
Young Moon!
Tell me of something.
Hail, hail!
When the sun rises,
Thou must speak to me,
That I may eat something.
Thou must speak to me about a little thing,
That I may eat.
Hail, hail,
Young Moon!
[1: When (?) we see the moon [!nanni elsewhere explained], we say !ka!karrishe; we sound the male antelope's horn.
We call the small moon !ka!karrishe; (but) women call (it) !ka!karibe.]
