There was a woman, Maria Mona, and Martin,

Ee ... esjooꞌiji su ꞌseno , esu su María Mona tyompo ñi ... ñi Maati ,

Martin had his own land, it (the story) says, a big land, a cornfield.

And the birthday of Maria Mona was approaching, it says

ene titekpoyrepuiji to s... ssacherayre su María Mona

and she was looking for corn to do her chicha, so she went where Martin was.

ene stankooꞌi to sijaruromyore esu to sponi , ene tyompuiji ñeꞌ ñi Maati .

Good afternoon Martin, she told him.

" kopereꞌoopo Maati " sjichpuijiro .

Good afternoon Maria, he told her.

What do you need? Come in, take a seat, he told her.

Finally when everything was ready, she woke up, recooked the chicha, and put it away.
