Woman:
One day the 'creator' got a magical,
Idea: would create something exotic, that the world would say: it is just, awesome.
Took the softness from the flower,
The sharpness of the edge of the,
Spear,
And the wetness from the water,
Fragrance from the garden,
The steadiness was supplied,
By the mountain,
The Earth offered the patience,
Emotion from the trees,
The smallness from the droplets,
Seriousness from the mid-stream,
Obtained the sweetness in quarrels,
From the joyous life,
Love from the Saaras,
And anxiety from 'Pareva',
Shroudness from the crow,
Chirping from the 'kaabar',
Sincerity from the steadiness of paths,
Hard work from the fish,
The docile-ness, transparency,
From water,
From the fire, the renunciation.
Then, gathered the five elements:
Water, Earth, Air, Space, and Fire,
And churned all these,
And every day bit by bit,
The 'creator' designed a woman,
And was cast and since then,
She is here in this world.
