| Song of the hero |
| Song of the Hero. The hero was born. On the third day after his birth [from the reindeer-leg hide of two and a half animals] he was sewn boots from the reindeer-leg hide of two and a half animals, [two and a half cubits] he was made footwrappings from two and a half cubits of sackcloth. He was sewn a shirt from thirty cubits of cloth, after that, hardly a week old, [thousand people held by his father] he tallies all the thousand people held by his father, [thousand people held by his father] he counts all the thousand people held by his father. He asks his mother, [my father once demonstrated his man skill] where is the small coat of arms with a chinpiece and impenetrable by bristles with which my father once demonstrated his man skill? It's in the middle of three larches, in the lowest leaf canopy of the larch. It is brought to him. [my father, the man, demonstrated his man skill, his hunting skill] Where is the dull steel sword with which my father, the man, demonstrated his man skill, his hunting skill? It is brought to him. [my father, the man, demonstrated his man skill, his hunting skill] Where is the black iron quiver with which my father, the man, demonstrated his man skill, his hunting skill? It is brought to him. Oh, mother! [my father, the man, demonstrated his man skill, his hunting skill] Where is the nose-cut magic foal with which my father, the man, demonstrated his man skill, his hunting skill? He is given an iron horse bit. Later you will come to your old aunt, she will ask you later: you were born hardly a week ago, where are you off to? (With) the smell of moist food, (with) the smell of dry food they gave him food, they gave him drink. [my father, the prince, demonstrated his man skill] Where is the nose-cut magic foal with which my father, the prince, demonstrated his man skill? His aunt says, go afterwards, you will come to a clean hill, to a clean meadow. you will find a horse herd of seven horses, shake the iron horse bit, the stallion that looks at you, catch that stallion! If all of them spring back, don't touch them, go away! You'll come to your middle uncle. Then he goes off. Suddenly he comes to his middle uncle. (With) the smell of moist food, (with) the smell of dry food they gave him food, they gave him drink. Then he is asked, valiant hero, you were born hardly a week ago, where are you off to? Then he says: [my father, the prince, demonstrated his man skill] [demonstrated his hunting skill] [the nose-cut magic foal] Where is the nose-cut magic foal with which my father, the prince, demonstrated his man skill, his hunting skill? Then he says: on a clean hill, on a clean meadow there is a horse herd of seven horses, shake the iron horse bit, the stallion that looks at you, catch that stallion! If all of them move back, don't touch them, go away! You will come to your youngest uncle. Then he goes off. Suddenly he comes to his youngest uncle. (With) the smell of moist food, (with) the smell of dry food they gave him food, they gave him drink. He is asked, where are you off to? [my father, the prince, demonstrated his man skill] Where is the nose-cut magic foal with which my father, the prince, demonstrated his man skill? His youngest aunt says: Later [to a clean hill] you will come to a clean hill, to a clean meadow. You will find a horse herd of seven horses. He shakes the iron horse bit, a foal born this summer looks at him. He says: by the rotten blood of your father! Where will you ever get me to? He sticks the horse bit (in its mouth). After sticking the horse bit in its mouth it turns into a one-year-old foal, after saddling it turns into a three-year-old horse, (but) it won't allow a belly strap to be put on. Three ribs of its left breast [with a boot bottom] were kicked in with a boot bottom. Just as it was losing consciousness he pulls the belly strap tight, swings himself up into the saddle and sets himself to rights. He looks back, the hillcape where he had just been can hardly be seen. He goes for a long time, he goes for a short time, he comes to some rich man there. He says: let me spend the night! [good food to feed you with] From where shall I take good food to feed you with? [good drink to give you] From where shall I take good drink to give you? He goes on, gets further. [from the sky] [thin-footed] [fire-footed sky-boy] May a thin-footed, fire-footed sky-boy come down on you from the sky! May your black earth mother, may the deepest watery sea come up over you! He gets further and looks back, [the rich (man) he had just met] The smoke of the rich (man) he had just met is billowing up. He came to a house and a storehouse built at the same time. An old woman and an old man they are living (there). He says: my uncle, my aunt, [me spend the night] let me spend the night! [good food to feed you with] From where shall we take good food to feed you with? Come in, lie down! He comes in. Suddenly the woman and the old man somehow talk with one another. Suddenly [one-year-old] they brought in a one-year-old calf. Nephew, [this calf] slaughter this calf! He slaughters it, he cuts it apart. The woman starts to prepare the kettle, she cuts off two pieces of meat, and throws them into the pot. From her pocket she takes out a grain of corn, she throws it into the pot. The pot starts to boil, it bubbles over. They eat, they drink, a bit is left over. He gets up early in the morning, He grabs his horse, he continues on. Sometime two men are hunting little birds of the forest. One of the men says: in the days of the old valiant man, of the old hero we lived like ladies, we lived like gentlemen. After the coming of the new valiant man, after the coming of the new hero we have sunk to maid-servants, we have sunk to man-servants. The second man says: In the days of the old valiant man, in the days of the old hero we were maid-servants, we were man-servants. After the coming of the new valiant man, after the coming of the new hero we have become ladies, we have become gentlemen. [the man praising the old valiant man] He cut the man praising the old valiant man down, and then he went to the old valiant man. He drinks and eats with the people. Some whole townful of people he cuts them all down. Afterwards he is given food, he is given drink. At some point he got drunk. [into a seven-fathom deep pit] He was thrown into a seven-fathom deep mud pit, his horse [into a threefold iron house] was locked into a threefold iron house. He lay for a long time, he lay for a short time, he woke up. [in a seven-fathom deep pit] He's lying in a seven-fathom deep pit. Some prince's daughter is chopping wood, a chip falls down. He makes a tumra. He pulls out three hairs from the tuft at the back of his neck, he makes a string for it. When an animal goes by he plucks it, when a bird flies by, he plucks it. Suddenly a flock of wild geese fly by, he starts to play wild goose music. The flock of wild geese [him three times] circles him three times. They alighted by him. [on one wing of a one-eyed bird] He writes a letter on one wing of a one-eyed bird. If you find my horse somewhere later, hand him this letter. The flock of wild geese flies off. After flying off, the flock of wild geese hands the letter over to his horse. The horse gives a whinny and [threefold iron house] shatters the threefold iron house. The horse runs off. [to the mouth of the seven-fathom deep pit] It runs to the mouth of the seven-fathom deep pit. Its bit and bridle hang down there, he is snatched up by his horse. He cuts down all the people. The prince's daughter who cut wood, he pulls up this prince's daughter to himself. |
