Adapted from an English translation of the Akkadian version, from Tablet VI.

Istar käenama Torminä, Anu, käenamast kee:
"Torm, lahetu tarvas vilyain,
nukkestina Kiilgame, kee saa ëksanä.
laheestilyakatust tarvas vilyain,
üga pakkate Mandoin Süüra
üga haudantest mandotarvasid
üga lantalasse'st mandoin
üga kevatest elennain vastaan vaa tundusin lennain,
üga maganänanunest!
puuliestinänast elennain lennain!

Istar spoke father-her, Anu, spoke-and she:
"Father, give-me bull heavens,
kill-may-he Gilgamesh, he in home-his.

then destroy-I-and door;tree;dual
then fall-they-pas.opt;and doors-pl
then forgive/allow unliving to_wander up_into the lands living-pl
then they-eat-them-and!
outnumber-may-they-and unliving-pl living-pl!
