After walking along the river shore, 
gathering berries and eggs for thirty years, 
the woman in the valley of sad wind 
sings heart-aching tune of passionate love 
that glows with beauty in the timeless dusk, 
then lies silent for twenty thousand years. 

Scraping dirt around her skull in the Earth 
with careful attention to fragile truth, 
the woman in the valley of sad wind 
exposes ancient face of our first mother 
whose song still lingers in our aching hearts 
we still sing after twenty thousand years. 

Holding skull of our first mother with care, 
heart filled with awe at beauty of her face, 
the woman in the valley of sad wind 
feels heart-aching tune of passionate love 
flow from her heart with haunting melody 
clear again after twenty thousand years. 

As spirit of first mother fills her heart 
with awe at beauty of the trees and sky, 
the woman in the valley of sad wind 
sings heart-aching tune of passionate love 
so we all sing with turning of the Earth 
every new day for twenty thousand years.
