He natives of the cold land whisper the tale Where the snow rests upon the vast river's trail That before the first man, at the start of all things Ulgan, the Creator, began what he brings From the earth's soft mud, the Creator made a God Named Elrik, to watch over the starry sod Elrik molded in silence and with great might From earth and from stone, the body and the light The man and the woman, empty on the ground The spirit was missing, no soul could be found And as Elrik departed to search for the breath He left a guard behind, a Siberian Husky facing death The Siberian Husky, faithful to the call Watched over those waiting to rise up at all But the night's cold descended, the snow started to fall Elrik returned and saw him near to the pall He gave him a jacket, the thickest of fur A sacred gift, that no frost could incur Before the First Man, the Husky was made In the winter eternal, by Elrik safely stayed The frog cried out: If they live, let them live! And life in the mud, its course he would give You shall protect them, and live in the cold Ulgan told the Husky, a story unfolds Ulgan came down, giant and filled with disdain At the creation he saw, causing him pain He wanted destruction, to sweep all the ill To shatter the mud, to silence the will But the Frog on the rock, so attentive and wise Whispered to the Creator, before his angry sighs If they live, let them live (frog!) And if they die, let them die: (Frog!) The voice of the small life, the Great Life calmed down And Ulgan accepted the fate of the crown Before the First Man, the Husky was made In the winter eternal, by Elrik safely stayed The frog cried out: If they live, let them live! And life in the mud, its course he would give You shall protect them, and live in the cold Ulgan told the Husky, a story unfolds And to the Siberian Husky, Ulgan gave his decree An eternal watch, without any fee If the men treat you poorly The fault will be yours alone
