Behold the conversions Of an exalted seer, The signs of good fortune And omens of evil, Behold the old images, Try to comprehend, Behold and remember, See and understand. See, I am the black eagle With the golden wings, I am the lord of the sky, Terror of the field. See, I take what I want For I'm the one to rule See how I rejoice, Know that this is good. See, I am the black snake With golden head, See, I am cut open, See, I am dead, See how my head falls Chopped off by a sword, Know that the bad luck Is standing by your door. See, I am a shaman Saying words of might, But Tengri stays silent, His face is full of night. See, I am the son of Heaven Who reigns at dusk and dawn, Behold my shining sword, Behold my golden throne, See the people bow down Before my endless might I bring luck and victory I dispel the night.
