ELES BOOTUR 4 1

Three sisters

“Ah-a-a-ah! Ah-a-a-ah!
We’re so agitated, so excited!
You’re our brother and our father,
Not so often we ask you
Calm down and listen to us!
They say, a girl’s brain
Can be put into a thimble,
Her thought is shorter
Than her hair.
It’s true, we were fools.
Kneeling down in front of you,
We ask you to forgive
Our first blame,
We’ll respect you,
We’ll be your shadows.h
And again they lived in
In peace and love.
The sun rises early in the morning
Sending its rays to them,
The moon shines at night
Lighting them up
Their brother puts on airs
More and more.
Wandering along seventy-seven
Small and big streams,
Crossing eighty-eight
Powerful and wide ravines,
Ninety-nine mighty rivers,
Climbing high mountains,
Topping eight rocky mountains,
Getting to nine deep forests,
Pulling a wild hungry wolf
By its withers,
Dragging a puffing elk
By its nose,
He was walking home,
When from the western side
Of the spacious sky
