a/n: this is the song that was sung in the third Earth's Children book, The Mammoth Hunters - it was the first time that Ayla hunted with Talut, when they were on their way back the Lion Camp from the bison hunt. I guess there are hints of a little spoiler in these verses, so be warned.
(Talut - the red-haired brute!)
Hus-na, dus-na, teesh-na, keesh-na.
Pec-na, sec-na, ha-na-nya.
Hus-na, dus-na, teesh-na, keesh-na.
Pec-na, sec-na, ha-na-nya!
What is pretty Deegie wishing?
Branag, Branag, share my bed.
Where is pretty Deegie going?
Home to empty furs instead.
Hus-na, dus-na, teesh-na, keesh-na.

How does Wymez spend the winter?
Making tools and wanting fun.
How does Wymez spend the summer?
Making up for having none!

Who wants Ayla's warm affection?
Two would like to share her furs.
Who will be the rare selection?

Whose big and tall and strong and wise?
Lion Camp's own red-haired brute.
Who wields a tool to match his size?
Every women's friend, Talut!
Hus-na, dus-na, teesh-na, keesh-na.

note: if you haven't read the Earth's Children series by Jean M. Auel then I think that you should because they are awesome books - and Broud is a huge language that I'm not allowed to think let alone say or write down, but I think you get the picture.
