Stelae Of Vultures Paroles

Sanctioned by the gods

I Eannatum
Like a fierce storm wind
I unleashed the tempest
I stretched forth my clenched fist
With spear and blades of copper
Advanced with chariot and phalanx
Like a fierce storm wind
I unleashed the tempest

I Eannatum
Lion of Lagash

I had been given strength by Enlil
To lay slaughter upon the soldiers of Umma
Though struck by arrow through the eye
I smote thе Ummites slaying them by the thousands
Whеn they fled the bloodied battlefield
We cut them down
We fed their corpses to the vultures
Unleash the tempest!

I Eannatum
Lion of Lagash

Born of the seed of Ninngursu
And fed at the breast of Ninhursaga
Like a fierce storm wind
I unleashed the tempest

I did pile into heaps the corpses of the sons of Umma
And did rejoice in the suffering of my enemies
As vultures flew overhead
I Eannatum of Lagash
Like a fierce storm wind I unleashed the tempest
Like a fierce storm wind
