Datura Hunting Song
I ate the thornapple leaves
And the leaves made me dizzy.
I drank the thornapple flowers
And the drink made me stagger.
The hunter, Bow-remaining,
He overtook and killed me,
Cut and threw my horns away.
The hunter, Reed-remaining,
He overtook and killed me,
Cut and threw my feet away.
Now the flies become crazy
And they drop with flapping wings.
The drunken butterflies sit
With opening and shutting wings.
I ate the thornapple leaves
And the leaves made me dizzy.
I drank the thornapple flowers
And the drink made me stagger.
The hunter, Bow-remaining,
He overtook and killed me,
Cut and threw my horns away.
The hunter, Reed-remaining,
He overtook and killed me,
Cut and threw my feet away.
Now the flies become crazy
And they drop with flapping wings.
The drunken butterflies sit
With opening and shutting wings.
