Young Moon!
Hail, Young Moon!
Hail, hail,
Young Moon! speak to me!
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.
[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.]
