English
Woman who comes from the water
Like a rainbow you appear
Swishing your long hair
this way and that
you sway shaking off water
Woman who comes from the forest
Bringing your distinctive breath
Wearing you belt of seeds
You have me falling in love
Girl who grew up in the forest mountains
Woman who walks in the still pools
Teaching many kinds of wisdom
How beautifully you stand with joy
Woman who comes from the waterfall
Woman who runs like the wind
Planting many saplings
you leave (the forest) flourishing
Woman who comes from the forest
Bringing your distinctive breath
Wearing you belt of seeds
You have me falling in love
