Emergence Song (Pima)

Together we emerge with our rattles;
Together we emerge with our rattles,
Bright-hued feathers in our head-dresses.
    With our nyñnyirsa we went down;
    With our nyñnyirsa we went down,
    Wearing Yoku feathers in our head-dresses.
This is the white land; we arrive singing,
Head-dresses waving in the breeze.
We have come! We have come!
The land trembles with our dancing and singing.
  On these black mountains all are singing.
    Head-dresses waving, head-dresses waving.
    We all rejoice! We all rejoice!
    Singing, dancing, the mountains trembling.
