You | only | chief | are of a high family
Hao dalA'ñ sgA'nxAn kîlsLa'is ya'ta gadA'ldîgAnkwê;
You | only | chief | are of a high family

You alone are fit to be a chief woman,
You alone are fit to be a chief woman.
For (you) they begged a long time (to obtain you in marriage).
You alone are fit to be a chief woman,
You alone are fit to be a chief woman.
