The Song Of The Bustard
My younger brother-in-law,
Put my head in the fire.
My younger brother-in-law,
My younger brother-in-law,
Put my head in the fire.
When we startle it up, it flies away; it (cries): "Wara ||khau, wara ||khau, wara ||khau, ||khau ||khau, ||khau, wara ||khau, wara ||khau, wara ||khau, ||khau ||khau, ||khau!"
When it stands on the ground, it says: "A wa,a wa, a wa, a wa!" when it stands on the ground.
