1

With all her eyes, the Night Goddess looks at every spot, putting on all her glory: She has filled the emptiness.

2

Immortal. She has filled the sky and the depths, the Night Goddess has conquered darkness with her light.

3

As she approaches, the Dawn sets her sister in her place, and darkness disappears.

4

May this night favor us, O you whose paths we have walked like birds in their nests.

5

The villagers have gone home, and all that walks and all that flies, even falcons seeking prey.

6

Keep off the she-wolf and the wolf, O Urmya, keep thieves away; make it easy for us to pass.

7

She has come close to me, decked in rich colors, O Morning, erase it like debts.

8

I bring this praise like cattle, O Night, you child of heaven, accept it as a conqueror.
