Lover’s Wooing or Blanket Song (Zuñi)
I
O what happiness!
How delightful,
When together we
’Neath one blanket walk.
We together
’Neath one blanket walk,
We together
’Neath one blanket walk,
We walk.
O! What happiness!
How delightful,
When together we
’Neath one blanket walk.
We together,
’Neath one blanket walk,
We together,
’Neath one blanket walk,
We walk.
II
Can it be that
My young maiden fair
Sits awaiting,
All alone tonight?
Is she waiting
For me only?
Is she waiting
For me only?
III
May I hope it is
My young maiden
Sitting all alone
And awaiting me;
Will she come then?
Will she walk with me?
’Neath one blanket
We together be,
We—we two, we two,
We two, we two—
Will she come?
