1-4 I will look with wonder at the foliage. I, Inana, will gaze at the soft foliage. May my bridegroom speak to me kindly words such as a farmer or a shepherd would speak.

5-8 I will rest in the foliage. I will run to the foliage. May they stand at my service ....... I will meet ...... Ama-ucumgal-ana.

9-16 I will sprinkle water ....... I will make my mes tree sprout forth. I will sprinkle water at the house of God. I will make my mes tree sprout forth. I will sprinkle water ...... in E-kur. I will make my king grow like a mes tree in the courtyard. I will sprinkle water at the house of God. I will make the king Ama-ucumgal-ana grow like a mes tree in the courtyard.

17-28 I am perfect for the lord in E-kur. We are a fitting ornament in the joyful palace. In the house of God ....... In the house of God ....... ...... in E-kur .......

May God decree a good destiny for my king, a mes tree properly ......, verdant, full of beauty, of his mother and father, my ...... who was born ......:

29-36 ...... good seed; when he comes forth, I will make him sprout forth like a mes tree. Ama-ucumgal-ana, may God provide for you. Your sweet beauty, like foliage ....... I shall cherish you ....... I will make Ama-ucumgal-ana sprout forth as just such a mes tree!

37-44 I shall perform laments for you with the drum ....... I shall lean against you as against a wood of cypresses. May you rejoice ...... in E-kur. May they stand at your service ......, man of my heart. For your sake I shall take my seat in E-kur. I shall stand in prayer for you in E-kur, the house of God. In His exalted location, God gave you to me. The lord, the Great Mountain .......
