1. The frogs croaked when they saw
Reflections of stars in the water around them

2. "O my friends, o my soldiers, gather
The enemies have crossed our borders in the night"

3. "Repel them and banish the night as well
For it is like them, a vicious despoiler"

4. A shriek echoed in the darkness
And the riverbank bushes and thorns shook

5. In the water's surface, from their voices
Were thunderous fever and gloom in the night

6. Dawn tore the veils of darkness
And erased the symbols from the face of the earth

7. Then she walked among her troop proudly
Like a victorious king among his warriors

8. Then she said, "I bring you good news
We are now safe from a monumental scheme

9. If we did not defeat the meteors
That attacked us, they would have made us taste annihilation

10. And they would have stayed, after us, in our land
Enjoying pleasures they never found in the clouds

11. O history, record that we
Are a nation that overpowered even the stars
