The spirit of Cimmerian silver
and furs has not withered here,
the quiet dignity of these
majestic women has not faded.

An unquenched earthy lust
rushes through them like a wild river.
Look: regiments of brave warriors
grow in their wombs.

I know what land this is,
I know what rule prevailed here:
these women still possess
the spirit of matriarchy.
