My father gave me heaven
gave me earth
I, the queen of heaven am I!
Is there one god who can vie with me?
Enlil gave me heaven
gave me earth
I, the queen of heaven am I!
He has given me lordship
He has given me queenship
He has given me battle, given me combat
And he gave me flood and tempest
He has placed heaven as a crown
He has tied the earth as a sandal
He has fastened the holy me-garment
about my body
The gods are my vassals
I, a queen am I
The Anunna scurry about
I, a life-giving wild cow am I
The life-giving wild cow of Father Enlil am I
His life-giving wild cow that walks at the head
When I enter the Ekur, the house of Enlil
The gatekeeper puts not his hand against my breast
The vizier says not to me, 'Stop!'
Heaven is mine, earth is mine
Heaven is mine, earth is mine
In Erech, the Eanna is mine
In Zabalom, the Giguna is mine
In Nippur, the Duranki is mine
In Ur, the Edilman is mine
In Girsu, the Eshdam is mine
In Adab, the Eshara is mine
In Kish, the Hursag Kalam is mine
In Dev, the Amashkuga is mine
In Akshak, the Anzaka is mine
In Agada, the Ulmash is mine
Is there one god who can vie with me?
