When on high no name was given to heaven
Nor below was the netherworld called by name
Apsu was their progenitor
And Tiamat was she who bore them all
GIGIM XUL! UGGAE!
Evil spirit! God of death!
Evil spirit! God of death!
GIGIM XUL! UGGAE!
Evil spirit! God of death!
Evil spirit! God of death!
They were mingling their waters together
No cane brake was intertwined
Nor thicket matted close
When no gods at all had been brought forth
None called by names, no destinies ordained
Then were the gods formed within these two
In the cella of destinies
The abode of designs
The most capable, the sage of the gods
The Lord was begotten
The mighty firstborn
Champion of his father
Hastener to battle
The warrior - Marduk!
In the midst of Apsu
Marduk was formed
In the midst of holy Apsu
Was Marduk formed!
GIGIM XUL! UGGAE!
Evil spirit! God of death!
Evil spirit! God of death!
GIGIM XUL! UGGAE!
Evil spirit! God of death!
Evil spirit! God of death!
