Another hunter out in the woods one day thought he heard a woman singing to a baby. He followed the sound up to the head of the branch until he came to a cave under the bushes, and inside was a mother bear rocking her cub in her paws and singing to it this baby song, which the Ani′-Tsâ′gûhĭ used to know before they were turned into bears:
Ha′-mama′, ha′-mama′, ha′-mama′, ha′-mama′;
Udâ′hale′yĭ hi′lûñnû, hi′lûñnû;
Udâ′hale′yĭ hi′lûñnû, hi′lûñnû.
Let me carry you on my back (four times);
On the sunny side go to sleep, go to sleep;
On the sunny side go to sleep, go to sleep.
