Ye Four Herdsmen of the Deer,

Come ye down to meet the dogs.

And refuse not to come down

Or ye shall be rebels unto God, etc.

It is not I who am huntsman,

It is Pawang Sidi (wizard Sidi) that is huntsman;

It is not I whose dogs these are,

It is Pawang Sakti (the ‘magic wizard’) whose dogs these are;

Let Dang Durai cross the water,

It is only a civet-cat that is left for me.
