Song of the Masked Dancers (Apache)

The day broke with slender rain.
The place which is called “lightning’s water stands,”
The place which is called “where the dawn strikes,”
Four places where it is called “it dawns with life,”
I landed there.
I went among the sky youths.
One came to me with long life.
When he talked over my body with the longest life,
The voice of the thunder spoke well four times,
He spoke four times to me with life.
Holy sky youth spoke to me four times.
When he talked to me my breath became.
