1 “Yu fit use fish hook take katch Leviatan
or use rope take tie en tongue?
2 Yu fit put rope pass en nose

Or make e beg yu make yu sorry for am?

5 Yu go fit tie am like bird wey dem dey train for house;

or katch en head with hook?
8 Make yu try go tosh am, den yu nor go ever try am again;

9 Anybody wey si Leviatan go fear

10 Wen dem don make am vex, e go shaut

11 Who don give mi anytin kon sey make I pay back?
Evritin wey dey under heaven na my own?
12 Make I tell yu about Leviatan leg

13 Nobody fit tear en klot wey dey outside

14 Who fit open en mout or bring en tit wey dey make pesin fear,

15 Na many shield dem take make en back
kon tie dem togeda and dem strong like stone.
16 Dem join dem strong well-well
and space nor dey wey breeze fit pass enter en body.
17 En body strong well-well and nor-tin fit tear am En body join togeda and nor-tin fit separate dem.
18 Wen e sneeze, lite go flash kom out
and na so en eye dey shine like sun for aftanoon.
19 Fire and tonda lite dey
kom out from en mout.
20 Like grass wey dey burn under pot, na so too smoke dey

21 Fire dey kom out from en mout and even wen e breath,
e dey bring fire.
22 En neck get strong pawa wey fit

23 E nor get any weak part for en skin;

and e bi like iron wey dem nor fit bend.
24 En heart bi like stone wey nor dey fear anytin;

25 Wen e stand, even pipol wey strong well-well,

26 No swod fit wound am;

27 Iron just bi like straw for en eye

28 E nor get di arrow wey won make am run,
even wen dem stone am with rock,

29 Spear bi like straw to am

30 Di skale wey dey en belle bi like pot wey don break;

32 E dey leave shine-shine part for en back

33 E nor get anytin for eart wey yu fit take kompare am
and I kreate am without fear.
34 Even di animal wey dey karry body up,
e dey look dem like nor-tin;
bikos naim bi king among all animals.”
