English Translation (Freely translated) 

The sun only started colouring the east red, when Bunu kicked open the mud walls of the hut where he and the captain's daughter were locked up. 

He walked to his bull's grave and sang the following song: 

You can get up now, my good friend, the Bull. 

It is morning and time to go. 

Get up, get up, we must go home. 

Come, you must carry me home. 

The ground started moving and the earth shattered. First the bull's horns emerged and after that his mighty head. Then the bull climbed uninjured out of his grave.
