(English translation)
-
"Coyote"
-
The drought has lasted
For 100 months already
-
The dust from the razzmatazz rain dance
Cannot wash our lives
-
The shadow of the harsh wind
That catches us unprepared is the Coyote
-
His gleaming eyes reflect
Our last water jar
-
(Till the end of our village's life)
It's only two steps and a half away
-
(Every last drop)
He will drink up
-
※Coyote, coyote
Uoo
Coyote, coyote
Uoo
Coyote, coyote
Uoo
Coyote, coyote
Uoo
-
We chasing him, he being chased,
We trample down a million grasses
-
The wind blows
Along the fitst "trail" made in history
Making the noise
-
Down the road is the Vale of Dizziness
No going further or coming back
-
Oh my Lord, oh Buddha, oh Maria,
He ululates and climes up the big tree
-
(Its trunk is about)
Two footsteps and a half wide
-
(Its high trunk)
Pokes the clouds in the sky
-
※Repeat
-
Hearing the axe chopping the trunk a hundred times far down at the bottom of tree
Coyote cries, "Farewell, the clouds."
-
The tree is downed to make a bridge over the vale
We cross it to discover a lake with our exhausted eyes
-
Coyote floating in the lake, running out his life
Is torn limb from limb at last
-
(A person's share is about)
Two pieces and a half
-
(For the village's supper)
It is served as the main dish
-
※Repeat×5

(Speech)
"Well, that's about it.
After that, we counted a million years
and have had the same old drought,
but you have only progressed two steps and a half.
Run away more wisely next time."
Coyote: "Yes, I will!"
