ELES BOOTUR 7 3

Having a coat of flufly squirrel,
Trousers of the front part of squirrel,
His boots, mittens and cap
Made of the best parts of squirrel
A very small old man
With buldging eyes,
A man of wisdom
Recalling his young years
Told his wife:
“In my young years
I was the best man.
I was strong and healthy,
I had a keen sight and ear,
I knew the latest news.
Now I’m old but nevertheless
I know everything
What’s this that
Ruining the World?
What’s this that
Storming the world
Without a stop?
Snow and rain pour down
Screaming like a lion,
A sharp wind rages
Day and night,
Why ? What for ?
Do you know anything
My poor old woman?
You were always dissatisfied,
You always ran me down.
Do you know that is
Eles Bootur the Great
Having Black Bear horse
Chasing Eos Tardar
Who had stolen his sisters ?
That’s he who got to the
Bottom of the World
He is going to die three times
Chasing Eos Tardar,
But in the end he’ll win.
