The one who utters its sinister cry in the marshes and rivers, my akane bird: you would be dangling from its claws, my fish! The one who circles the nets looking for you in the waters where the nets are stretched, my ubure bird: you would be dangling from its claws, my fish! The one with long legs, that laughs, the one from faraway waters, that ……, my egret (?): you would be dangling from its claws, my fish! The one who does not adorn ……, with the …… of a bird and webbed (?) feet, my kib bird: you would be dangling from its claws, my fish! The one who seizes the quadrupeds that wander into the marshes, my kuda crocodile: you would be dangling from its claws, my fish!
