Subject(s): Sharks
Alas, the shark has me, the great shark,
he with the three rows of teeth.
All else is gone now, torn by the shark monster,
the one with the fire too hot for the deepest sea.
When the wili-wili tree blooms
it is then his mouth opens.
Ah! I am taken by the shark.
Sea, oh sea of the rainbows, cup of foam ...
what pleasure I took in my dancing!
and that, too, the great shark has taken.
