I Eannatum of Lagash
Lord of Sumer and Akkad, son of Akhurgal
Descended from the seed of Ningursu
Subjugator of foreign lands
Made war upon Umma
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 thะต Ummites, slaying them by the thousands
Whะตn they fled the bloodied battlefield
We cut them down
We trampled the helpless beneath our feet
We crushed their skulls
We fed their corpses to the vultures
We cut them down
We cut them down
We fed their corpses to the vultures
Unleash the tempest
I Eannatum
Lion of Lagash
ย
Unleashed the tempest
Unleashed the tempest, yeah
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
