The Huluppu Tree There was a Huluppu Tree And Inanna loss her eyes on it How beautiful the Tree The Goddess took it with a tender grip Oh the dreams that the stem sheltered Oh the treasures that from the crown hanged Oh most radiant Inanna The joy from your eyes poured With everlasting glow But the dark night fell And the terrible owl hoot And the ancient snake emerge from the root Oh the broken dreams Oh the withered faces That the vicious sadness spawns Mistress of the Tree the night shows The reddish hair that the sky reflect And the cruel glance shattered the foundations From the shades come! By the hooting of the owl come! By the hissing of the snake come! By the howl of the wolf come! Oh Lilith come! Come here Come to me That the moon wane That the Sun hides Descend Oh Queen Mistress of my heart Oh Lilith come! Come to me Wane here Oh Lilith come! Come to me Lie with me There was a Huluppu Tree Oh Inanna cry so much! Do not weep anymore Inanna Lilith is among us
