I curse the man you are. I curse the land you have –

I go from field to field. I collect stone after stone –

I pile up the stones. I kneel by the stones –

‘May every kind of mishap, may every kind of misfortune –

Fall on this man. Fall on this land.’

I rise up from them stones and I take up them stones –

And I hurl them here. And I hurl them there.
