Corn Maiden lets her hair down

HE-HEA KATZINA SONG (Hopi)

Corn-blossom maidens
Here in the fields,
Patches of beans in flower,
Fields all abloom,
Water shining after rain,
Blue clouds looming above.

Now behold!
Through bright clusters of flowers
Yellow butterflies
Are chasing at play,
And through the blossoming beans
Blue butterflies
Are chasing at play.



We are young
The corn is green
We chase the yellow sun
We play with golden
Butterfly girls

~Hopi song~
