INITIATION SONG OF THE TEWA K’OSA

The K’osa make pantomime
In Pine Tree Glade
It rained this much
In a water-hole amid the rocks.

The K’osa address Kâkanyu Sendo
Old Man Kâkanyu!
The big yellow eye
Runs off in the water!

The K' osa make pantomime
In Pine Tree Glade
It rained this much
In a water hole amid the rocks.

The K’osa address Uhu Sendo
Old man Uhu!
The big yellow eye
Runs off in the water.

The Cloud People pursue the K’osa
No, my man! No, my man.
The yellow biscuit with a hole—
That is all I mean!
