Hi !
Tranlation :
Slap the hands against the thighs
Puff out the chest
Bend the Knees
Let the hip follow
Stamp the feet as hard as u can .
Tis death ! Tis death !!
Tis life ! Tis life !!!
Tis the hairy person who caused the sun to shine
Keep abreast ! Keep abreast !!
The rank ! Hold fast !!
Into the sun that shines !!
Hi !!!
