About "Nǁwahtam Qaqa Kole Ke N!ole Tu ǂ'e N!ari (God Created The Heavens And The Earth)"
!Xoon is spoken by a Khoisan people group in the western Kalahari region.

The lyric, back-translated to English, is as follows:
God created the earth and heaven
He created everything in the world.
He created man from the dust of the earth.
He put man in the garden
God produced for him a law
