The people of Sumer parade before you.
They play in the street ala-drums before
you.
The people of Sumer parade before you.
I say, " Hail !" to Inanna, Great
Lady of Heaven!
They beat the holy drum and timpani before
you.
The people of Sumer parade before you.
I say, " Hail !" to Inanna, Great
Lady of Heaven!
They play the holy harp and timpani before
you.
The people of Sumer parade before you.
I say, " Hail !" to Inanna, Great
Lady of Heaven!
The male prostitutes comb their hair before
you.
They decorate the napes of their necks with
colored scarves,
They drape the cloak of the gods about
their shoulders.
The righteous man and woman walk before
you.
They hold the soothing harp by their sides.
Those who follow wear the sword belt.
They grasp the spear in their hands.
The people of Sumer parade before you.
The women adorn their right side with men's
clothing.
The people of Sumer parade before you.
I say, " Hail !" to Inanna, Great
Lady of Heaven!
The men adorn their left side with women's
clothing.
The people of Sumer parade before you.
I say, " Hail !" to Inanna, First
Daughter of the Moon!
The young men, who carry hoops, sing to
you.
The maidens and coiffured priestesses walk
before you,
They carry the sword and double-edged ax.
The ascending kurgarra priests raise their
swords before you.
The priest, who covers his sword with
blood, sprinkles blood,
He sprinkles blood over the throne of the
court chamber.
The tigi-drum, the sem-drum, and the
ala-tambourine resound !
In the heavens the Holy One appears alone.
My Lady looks in sweet wonder from heaven.
She looks in sweet wonder on all the lands
And on the people of Sumer as numerous as
sheep.
sumerian hymn qouted from Inanna - Queen of
Heaven and Earth by Wolkstein and Kramer.
