The power of the warrior Grunokan,
The more fighting,the more vigorous.
His shining sword,
Like hail and lightning.
The evil-minded devil,(https://www.daowen.com)
The more fighting,the more powerless,
Sweating down the neck,
With his head being dizzy and eyes dazzled.
The warrior went to the devil’s den,
Releasing all the prisoners.
And gave them all the gold and silver,
Helping them return to their homeland.
