Verse 1: From the great above - The holy Inanna Turned ear to Kur below - Decided to seize it She abandoned earth - Her temples and shrines Gathered all seven mes - And began her descent
Kur I come! Await me !
Armoured and ready - She asked for Ninshubur Her vizir and warrior - To look for her return If I’m not to return - Circle houses of gods Find Enki my father - Ask for his rescue
Chorus: Kur! Here I come Your mistress’ home Bow in awe I’m your goddess now Ereshkigal’s gone Worship me now!
Verse 2: She knocked loudly - On Ganzer’s doors Ask and asked again - For Neti to open For every door she passed - She gave up ornaments And got fully naked - To meet Ereshkigal
Sister! You are not welcome!
She made her sister stand - And sat on her throne Gazed upon Great Below - But things were not settled Juges Annunaki - Advised against her rule Turned her into a corpse - And hang her on a hook
Chorus 2: Kur! Here I stay - The Fake mistress’ away Bow in awe - Your goddess stays home Inanna is dead and done - Worship me now!
Verse 3: Ninshubur pleaded - But gods refused to help Only her father Enki - Agreed to rescue her Enki’s emissaries - Convinced Ereshkigal To give up the body - Of our holy Inanna
Give my daughter back! Gaka-Tura, Kur-jara revive her!
Gaka-tura and Kur-jara - Sprinkled Inanna’s corpse With food’n water of life - And revived Inanna But she couldn’t leave - Gallas wouldn’t let her go So she traded her place - With Dumuzid her husband
Chorus 3: Kur! Here I leave I won’t rule here Bow in awe As I depart now Dumuzid’s left to you I’m done with him tooTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
