Текст песни: Tusan Homichi Tuvota + перевод

On top of the rock

There lived a hawk

The great enemy of the people

Day after day he killed

More and more chickens

And in a little while

There would be no more chickens at all…

People were troubled

They smoked and talked and prayed

They knew what had to be done

The hawk had to be killed

Everyone knew that

And the men and the women

And the children

All knew it

But no one knew how

But a little field mouse

Tusan Homichi

Had heard about all the trouble

That people were having

And he felt sorry for them

So he decided to kill the hawk

So he came to the village

Chanting

Hawk kills chickens

Hawk kills rabbits

Hawk kills chickens

Hawk kills rabbits

But the hawk won’t kill Tusan Homichi!

Monster hawk will surely die!

Some of the people laughed

They said that dirty little mouse was crazy

To even try

But others began to wonder if that mouse

Has some great power

That night

When everyone went to sleep

Little mouse stayed up all night long

Three times he went out

And looked at the stars

With white clay he painted his cheeks

And the right side of his forehead

He put the white on his arms

Chest and legs

He painted the black mark across his eyes

He tied shells from the ocean

Around his right wrist

Then he sat down

And thought about his songs

The next day would be the great day!

Hawk kills chickens

Hawk kills rabbits

But the hawk won’t kill Tusan Homichi

Monster hawk will surely die…
