Translations

The traveller's words

Thread in the hand of a gentle woman;—
clothes on the back of a traveller

Her stitches follow a secret secret seam;—
he fears a late late return

She who speaks a word has a hasty heart;—
he tells news of three glorious new lives

DJW

The roaming moaning small thing

A humane female within the convenient wire

A roaming pregnant small thing who is above clothes!

Just before going secretly to the thick crack

She was afraid of being delayed and being late in return to Italy

Who spoke an inch of her hasty mind?

She announced the possibility of three glorious springtimes

S&A

The roaming whir

What compassion is there in a woman's hand in the subway,
The body of the child on the gown?

To stand before the deep secret crack
To fear the deathly slow return of Italy

Who measures the careless mind with a thumb?
Proper vengeance for three glorious lives.

MAW

A gentle mother's hand provides the central thread
for the child to travel to the clothes of the highest class

This preparation provides the secret woven garment
which the child is not afraid to wear

He speaks his mind immediately
so he may announce three-fold joy.
