about

А̄кврись - а̄кврись мо̄йт is a kind of children's game from Mansi folklore, played by two people, with one asking questions and the other one answering. It evokes thoughts of how everything in nature is connected. Please refer to the lyrics for more information. The questions and answers are expressed in the track consecutively, so it can serve as a guide to follow its progression.

lyrics

Mns:
А̄кврись! А̄кврись! Тутсяӈын хо̄т?
А̄мпын тотвес.

А̄мпе хо̄т?
Во̄рн минас.

Во̄ре хо̄т?
На̄йн тайвес.

На̄йе хо̄т?
Раквын харыгтавес.

Ракве хо̄т?
Ма̄н посыс.

Ма̄тэ хо̄т?
Виткасьн нилвес.

Виткасе хо̄т?
Кит ня̄лыӈ ё̄втыӈ пыгрисакве̄гн алвес.

Кит ня̄лыӈ ё̄втыӈ пыгрисакве̄г хо̄т?
Э̄т-хӯлм я̄ӈкын ра̄гпасыг.

Э̄т-хӯлм я̄ӈке хо̄т?
Хо̄талын тотвес.

Хо̄талэ хо̄т?
Тулн лап-тотвес.

Тулэ хо̄т?
Во̄тн тотвес.

Во̄тэ хо̄т?
Хот-патыс.


Eng:
Auntie! Auntie! Where is the sowing kit?
The dog has stolen it.

Where is the dog?
It has gone to the forest.

Where is the forest?
The fire has burned it down.

Where is the fire?
The rain has extinguished it.

Where is the rain?
The earth has soaked it up.

Where is the earth?
The water monster has dragged it into the water.

Where is the water monster?
Two young men with bows and arrows shot it.

Where are the two you men?
The thin ice has broken underneath them.

Where is the thin ice?
The sun has melted it.

Where is the sun?
The cloud has covered it?

Where is the cloud?
The wind swept it away.

Where is the wind?
It has stopped.
