Should be given to me immediately!
To give me or not to give
Should be answered immediately!
But I will get her not depending
Whether you want to give or not.”
Having heard this awful song
Sung over the flue
Sounding like a dog barking,
Not having heard a devil’s voice
Three sisters out of fear
Lost their consciousness.
Three-shadowed
Eos Tardar, the devil
Having waited for long enough,
Putting into his only arm
Spreading wide his
Nine crooked fingers
Began to search for the sisters.
Winding her long hair
Round his bewitching hand
He dragged out of the bed
The eldest sister, crying out.
For the second time
Gripping seven-sagened
Silky hair by his crooked finger
Under the right bed,
He pulled out fainted
The second sister.
Having Black bear Horse
Eles Bootur coming back,
Gazed around and found
Only the third sister,
Kyys Cherelin, under the right bed
Lying without her consciousness,
The two sisters were stolen away.
