| Toma's Song. |
| 2 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Head of the village, the brave man Toma, |
| 3 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma, the man famed for killing hundred bears, |
| 4 |
|
|
|
|
| two old men, village leaders |
| 5 |
|
|
| came together, |
| 6 |
|
|
|
|

|
| they talk about elk skills in spring, |
| 7 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| they talk about bear skills in spring. |

|
|
|
|
| Toma goes over. |
| 9 |
|
|
|
|
| [a fiery brand lying there] |
| 10 |
|
|
| He throws a fiery brand lying there up. |
| 11 |
|
|
|
| While it is falling [three times] |
| 12 |
|
|
| he shoots it three times. |
| 13 |
|
|
|
| [a heap lying there] |
| 14 |
|
|
| He throws a heap lying there up, |
| 15 |
|
|
|
| while it falls [three times] |
| 16 |
|
|
| he shoots it three times, |
| 17 |
|
|
|
| he hacks it three times. |
| 18 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| There you have your elk skills in spring, |
| 19 |
|
|
|
| that's how it is, |
| 20 |
|
|
| then he goes out, |
| 21 |
|
|
|
|
| [to the cone-dropping thin forest] |
| 22 |
|
|
| he goes up to the cone-dropping thin forest. |
| 23 |
|
|
|
|
| [a high spruce standing there] |
| 24 |
|
|
|
|

| 25 |
|
|
|
|
| [from a high birch standing there] |
| 26 |
|
|
|
|

|
| [the berries of the berry growing berried forest] |
| 28 |
|
|
|
| When the berries of the berry growing berried forest ripened, |
| 29 |
|
|
|
| [their bear lying in the forest] |
| 30 |
|
|
| while their bear lying in the forest goes around, |
| 31 |
|
|
|
|
| many young women with scarves on |
| 32 |
|
|
|
|
|
| sit heavily, |
| 33 |
|
|
|
|
|
| lie heavily. |
| 34 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [to the bird-cherry growing, bird-cherried shore] |
| 35 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He goes down to the bird-cherry growing, bird-cherried shore, he chops the bow tip. |
| 36 |
|
|
|
|
| [the bird-cherry-growing bird-cherried shore] |
| 37 |

| 38 |
|
|
|
|
| [to the wooded grove] |
| 39 |
|
|
| while he goes to the wooded grove |
| 40 |
|
|
|
|
| many young women with scarves on |
| 41 |
|
|
|
|
|
| sit heavily. |
| 42 |
|
|
|
|
| He comes home, he says: |
| 43 |
|
|
|
| Women! |
| 44 |
|
|
|
|
| [the forest with overgrown ground] |
| 45 |
|
|
|
| [your bear lying in the forest] |
| 46 |
|
|
|
| While your bear lying in the forest walks on the forest with overgrown ground, |
| 47 |
|
|
|
|
| [the bird-cherry growing bird-cherry shore] |
| 48 |
|
|
|
| [your bear lying in the forest] |
| 49 |
|
|
| while your bear lying in the forest walks on the bird-cherry growing bird-cherry shore, |
| 50 |
|
|
|
|
|
| why are you sitting heavily, |
| 51 |
|
|
|
|
|
| why are you lying heavily? |
| 52 |
|
|
|
|
| The women listen to him, |
| 53 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [birch baskets as long as their breasts] |
| 54 |
|
|
|
|
| [knapsacks as long as their backs] |
| 55 |
|
|
|
| they prepare birch baskets as long as their breasts, knapsacks as long as their backs. |
| 56 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The women [the good rattle-edged boat] |
| 57 |
|
|
|
|
|
| place the good rattle-edged boat between the two river currents. |
| 58 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma's mother is running in the back, |
| 59 |
|
|
|
|
|
| she hears her little son. |
| 60 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma's mother runs along, |
| 61 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Women, wait for me! |
| 62 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I'm taking my infant child along. |
| 63 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma's mother [into the middle of the middle boat] |
| 64 |
|
|
|
| gets into the middle of the middle boat. |
| 65 |
|
|
|
|
| [to the bird-cherry growing bird-cherried shore] |
| 66 |
|
|
| The women go to the bird-cherry growing bird-cherried shore, |
| 67 |
|
|
|
|
| the women with skilled hands |
| 68 |
|
|
|
| fill their birch baskets half full, |
| 69 |
|
|
|
|
| the women with unskilled hands |
| 70 |
|
|
|
| fill (only) the bottom of the birch baskets. |
| 71 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I lurk behind the hiding trees, |
| 72 |
|
|
|
|
| with a loud voice of an attacking bear |
| 73 |
|
|
|
|
| I clap my two front paws together, |
| 74 |
|
|
|
|
| [with the loud voice of an attacking bear] |
| 75 |
|
|
|
| I roar at them with the loud voice of an attacking bear. |
| 76 |
|
|
|
|
| [like falling berry clusters] |
| 77 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| And damned if they don't fall like falling berry clusters. |
| 78 |
|
|
|
|
| [to their rattle-edged good boat] |
| 79 |
|
|
| They rush down to their rattle-edged good boat. |
| 80 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When they get to the water, Toma's mother, |
| 81 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| she says, women! |
| 82 |
|
|
|
|
| back, back! |
| 83 |
|
|
|
|
|
| My infant child has remained behind, |
| 84 |
|
|
|
|
|
| my suckling babe has remained behind. |
| 85 |
|
|
|
|
| I go over. |
| 86 |
|
|
|
|
| A gnat has landed on it, |
| 87 |
|
|
|
|
|
| with my ten-fingered hand |
| 88 |
|
|
| I brush it off. |
| 89 |
|
|
|
|
| Two gnats land on it, |
| 90 |
|
|
|
|
| with my ten-fingered hand |
| 91 |
|
|
| I brush them off. |
| 92 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma's mother comes running, |
| 93 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| she grabs her infant child and gets on the boat. |
| 94 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| when going down she says: |
| 95 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| for my son Toma's hundred bear name |
| 96 |
|
|
|
|
| one number is missing, |
| 97 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| he will take you and the hundred-bear name. |
| 98 |
|
|
|
|
| [into a corner of my angry breast] |
| 99 |
|
|
|
| I pull (the words) into a corner of my angry breast. |
| 100 |
|
|
|
|
|
| What kind of one-toothed hundred bears |
| 101 |
|
|
|
| did they kill? |
| 102 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Hoarfrost thick as game hair covers all. |
| 103 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| [at the side of Toma's good sable-hunting path] |
| 104 |
|
|

| 105 |
|
|
|
|
| [my golden hole with seven smokeholes] |
| 106 |
|
|
|
| I dig my golden hole with seven smokeholes there. |
| 107 |
|
|
|
|
| For a full week of the waxing moon |
| 108 |
|
|
|
| I wait for Toma to appear. |
| 109 |
|
|
|
|
|
| A dog as large as a he-wolf, |
| 110 |
|
|
|
| his dog runs. |
| 111 |
|
|
|
|
|
| It picks up the scent from tree to tree, |
| 112 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| it picks up the scent from the bottom of the trees. |
| 113 |
|
|
|
|
| [seven earth heaps lying there] |
| 114 |
|
|
|
| It sniffs at all seven earth heaps lying there, |
| 115 |
|
|
|
|
| [seven fallen tree roots lying there] |
| 116 |
|
|
|
| it sniffs at all seven fallen tree roots lying there. |
| 117 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I repress my game smell, |
| 118 |
|
|
|
| I wait for Toma to appear. |
| 119 |
|
|
|
| [in the height of the tip of a low tree] |
| 120 |
|
|
|

|
|
|
| He's carrying a quiver with black iron arrows at readiness, |
| 123 |
|
|
|
|
| [his good forked spear] |
| 124 |

| 127 |
|
|
|
| the knife at his hip |
| 128 |
|
|
|
| is in readiness. |
| 129 |
|
|
|
|
| At my happy dancing place |
| 130 |
|
|
|
|
| [by the dog large as a he-wolf] |
| 131 |
|
|
|
| I'm barked at by the dog large as a he-wolf. |
| 132 |
|
|
|
| [from the tip of a low tree] |
| 133 |
|
|
|
| Toma runs from the tip of a low tree. |
| 134 |
|
|
|
|
| [the quiver of black iron arrows] |
| 135 |
|
|
|
|
| [past my armpit] |
| 136 |
|
|
|
| I deflect the quiver of black iron arrows past my armpit. |
| 137 |

| 138 |
|
|
|
| [past my cheek bone] |
| 139 |

| 140 |
|
|
|
|
| [past my armpit] |
| 141 |
|
|
|

| 142 |
|
|
|
|
| [to the two laps of lapped men] |
| 143 |
|
|
|
| We fell upon one another. |
| 144 |
|
|
|
|
| [sewn by a skilled maiden] |
| 145 |
|
|
|
| [his two scraggly fur shoes] |
| 146 |
|
|
| I trip up his two scraggly fur shoes sewn by a skilled maiden. |
| 147 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The hundred bear name falls to me. |
| 148 |
|
|
|
|
| For a full week of the waxing moon |
| 149 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [seven, seven sittings of the bear on its prey in the soil] |
| 150 |
|
|
|
|
| I sit over Toma with seven bear sittings. |
| 151 |
|
|
|
|
| Toma's three sons [their father] |
| 152 |
|
|
|
| come looking for their father. |
| 153 |
|
|
|
| They stride along. |
| 154 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma's elder son walks in front, |
| 155 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [sewn by you, young woman of the house] |
| 156 |
|
|
|
| [the two scraggly fur shoes] |
| 157 |
|
|
|
| [his two eyes of an eyed man] |
| 158 |
|
|
|
|
| he can't take his two eyes of an eyed man off two scraggly fur shoes sewn by you, young woman of the house. |
| 159 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma's middle son walks (behind), |
| 160 |
|
|
|
|
|
| [sewn by you, young woman of the house] |
| 161 |
|
|
|
| [the two hard mittens] |
| 162 |
|
|
|
| [his two eyes of an eyed man] |
| 163 |
|
|
|
|

| 164 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma's youngest son comes last, |
| 165 |
|
|
| [from tree to tree] |
| 166 |
|
|
|
| he casts his gaze from tree to tree. |
| 167 |
|
|
|
|
| [by a dog as large as a he-wolf] |
| 168 |
|
|
|
| I get barked at there by a dog as large as a he-wolf. |
| 169 |
|
|
|
|
|
| I [with the voice of an attacking bear] |
| 170 |
|
|
|
| roar at them there with the loud voice of an attacking bear. |
| 171 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Toma's two sons run out. |
| 172 |
|
|
|
|
| [my proud bear place] |
| 173 |
|
|
|
|
| The region of my proud bear place is aimed at. |
| 174 |
|
|
|
|
| Like the bark of an empty birchwood food basket |
| 175 |
|
|
|
| my head is cracked apart. |
