Evening Star lived with his sweetheart. And they lived nicely for a long time. Suddenly they quarreled. And Evening Star left. Finally he went around the world. He went far away.

And the woman thought, "Oh, my sweetheart! How will I ever see my sweetheart again? Oh, she was lonesome. She sat down outdoors. "Oh, I'm lonesome!" she thought. So again the next day she sat down outdoors in the evening. "How ever shall I do?" And she thought, "Maybe I'll make a song. That way I'll see my sweetheart again.

And again the next day she sat down outside. And she sang. She thought, "That way I'll see him again." So she sang. "Oh, my sweetheart! we quarreled. Oh, let's live as two again! Oh, my sweetheart, I am lonesome! You may go to the end of the earth, (but) you will come back from there. We will roll together here at the middle of the world.

When she finished singing her love song, then Evening Star thought, "Oh, I'm lonesome! Hello, my sweetheart! Let me go see her again!" The fact was, his heart was gone. And he was going to find his heart again. The fact was, they were both going to see each other again here at the middle of the world. And he was going to find his heart again. Evening Star and his sweetheart (finally) clasped one another.

And the woman said, "When Mankind comes into existence, (a woman) may also become abandoned, (but) she will find (her sweetheart) again by means of my song. He will come back from there, (though) he may have gone to the end of the earth." Then Evening Star was transformed into a big star in the sky.
