Bugan inWigan

The first humans after the flood:
we are their offspring, of one blood.

In the golden times, beginning,
on separate mountains living.
Waters came and then their joining,
the first humans after the flood.

Lo, the flood was all destroying,
end of humanity coming,
so the two did duty, mating;
we are their offspring, of one blood.

She is the Mother, is caring
for all in birth and conceiving.
Their duties are they both doing,
the first humans after the flood.

So let fertility growing
be destruction overcoming.
We can do good, do anything;
we are their offspring, of one blood:
the first humans after the flood.
