Lady of the great city<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shepherd of the Dead<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She who laments the little ones cut down before their time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To you I sing a song of praise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You who carry out the judgements of the seven<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You who care for my ancestors in the great below who have passed on<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To you I sing a song of thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goddess who sits on the throne in Irkalla<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She who controls the land of kur<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To you I sing my love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May your pains be not so loathsome<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May your galla not grow tiresome<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May your city yet be shining like the seven gates that protect it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To you I sing praise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
