Na:nko Ma:s Cewagĭ
Cloud Song
Canción de las nubes
Ce:daghim ‘o ‘ab wa:ṣañhim.
To:tahim ‘o ‘ab wa:ṣañhim.
Cuckuhim ‘o ‘ab him.
Wepeghim ‘o ‘abai him.
Greenly they emerge.
In colors of blue they emerge.
Whitely they emerge.
In colors of black they are coming.
Reddening, they are right here.
Verdes emergen.
En colores azules emergen.
Blancos emergen.
En colores negros van llegando.
Enrojecidos, ya están aquí.
