It's time!
All you animals, come out! We must win against this crocodile!
Let the terrible crocodile Return the sun into the sky!
How can we fight such a beast?
He's toothy and horrendous.
He won't give the sun to us.
Let us run to the bear's lair.
"Won't you help us, kind bear?"
What's this crazy thing I hear?
Who do you take this old bear for?
It's shameful, old one, to despair.
You're not a hare, but a bear!
You should go, knock-kneed bear,
Claw the crocodile rare.
Tear him from limb to limb!
Tear the sun from inside his maw!
And when it once again,
shines brightly in the sky,
Your furry little children,
My thick-heeled cubs,
Will come home all by themselves,
"Hello, grandpa, we're here!"
Give us our sun!
Hello, grandpa, we're here!
