You rule the realms of the wind and rain,
and as you pass over Javaland,
the Wayang speak of you
with reverence and fear.
They say,
king of the dragons,
lord of the seas,
the rock of Java,
the jade of earth
all of this is true.
Dewi Nagagini reads to you
passages from the Enuma Elish,
the book of creation,
heroic tales of your ancestors
the five dragons of reality,
earth, wind, water, fire and time.
They say,
king of the dragons,
lord of the seas,
the rock of Java,
the jade of earth
all of this is true.
Weave together a tapestry of folklore,
one that teaches and entertains,
in the language of old wise men,
immortality is but a whisper away.
All of this is true. |
