From a distance:
East, South, West, and North
Surrounded and maintains balance
going forth.

Upon mother earth:
Supported and nourished everyone
and merits each one's respect

Under Sun god:
Your light shines and gives light,
Warms, and embraces lovingly

Surrounded by wind:
Sometime blows strong, sometimes
A gentle caress from your breeze

With water:
That sustains all life form
That all know not thirst

Under moon and stars:
Illuminates the earth, and
Forever watches over your clan

Be in harmony
with selves, forever
Strolling in your beauty!
