Samachurls

The fourth song:
Celi upa celi
Sada shato lata
Kuzi unu ya zido
Unu dada

A song sung by samachurls. Judging by the reaction of the chief, the song seems to bear a special philosophical meaning for the hilichurls. It may appear ridiculous in the mainstream academic circles, and I have no intention of casting doubt upon well-established views, but I feel obliged to say that the question of whether philosophical discourse truly exists among the Hilichurls is one that still fascinates me to this day, and may be deserving of further study.

Hilichurl chief

Hilichurl Ballad Selection, Volume 2

The seventh song:
Mimi movo
Mimi sada
Mimi domu
Domu upa
Gusha dada

It appears that many hilichurl tribes share a tradition of exchanging songs around bonfires in the moonlight. This song is one such bonfire ballad sung by the chief at the end of the night. At the end of the song, the chief shouts "nunu" three times, which presumably carries the meaning of "sleep."

Ella Musk

(Upon approaching the Hilichurl, version 2)
Ella Musk: Biat ye, ye pupu dada mosi! Plama ye upa dada!
Hilichurl: Dala beru yo!? Kundala muhe, kucha?
Ella Musk: Kundala gusha! Hahaha!
Hilichurl: Biat ye, plata ye pupu!
Hilichurl: Movo unta nye kucha, mi dada tiga mitono!
Ella Musk: Oh! I think he understood me! He seems to be taking out something to show us...
Ella Musk: Oh, oh no! It's a weapon! Traveler, help me!
