First Daylight Song (Navaho)

I
The curtain of daybreak is hanging,
The Daylight Boy (it is hanging),
From the land of day it is hanging;
Before him, as it dawns, it is hanging.
Behind him, as it dawns, it is hanging.
Before him, in beauty, it is hanging;
Behind him, in beauty, it is hanging;
From his voice, in beauty, it is hanging.

II
The Daylight Girl (it is hanging),
From the land of yellow light, it is hanging;
Before her, as it dawns, it is hanging;
Behind her, as it dawns, it is hanging.
Before her, in beauty, it is hanging;
Behind her, in beauty, it is hanging;
From her voice, in beauty, it is hanging.
