Tagai is an indicator
Tagai is a constellation
Tagai is the leader
Of the Cassowary clan
Tagai is the southern cross
Tagai is A five pronged spear
Tagai brings the rainy season
Calls on the monsoon
Standing in his Thoe Thak (canoe)
Holding tight his spear
His younger brother Kang is his companion
He sits at the stern,
He brings on the Coming Monsoon
When Tagai heads towards the west
The thunder roars, the downpour it comes
He pushes down the long bamboo pole
And pulls the fast canoe ahead
But as the sea gets deeper still
The bamboo pole is not long enough
He reaches deep down with his arm
And when his temple hits the water
The Monsoon begins
The coming of the monsoon
Three sisters of Tagai and Kang
Singiyal is Scorpio Wusalal is Orion
Kowaka is turned into a bird who flies beneath the stars
On Mabuaig and Badu
The elder brother is the one who should lead
He wasn't blind, he really could sea
But it was Tagai who was the constellation of the cassowary clan for Saibai
Pretends to be blind
Leaves it to his younger brother to lead the way"
