Der Werwolf

 
translated by R. Platteau   translated by Max Knight   translated by Alexander Gross    
 
Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,   One night, a banshee slunk away   A Werewolf, troubled by his name,   Ein Werwolf eines Nachts entwich
Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit   from mate and child, and in the gloom   Left wife and brood one night and came   von Weib und Kind und sich begab
Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école   went to a village teacher’s tomb,   To a hidden graveyard to enlist   an eines Dorfschullehrers Grab
Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”   requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”   The aid of a long-dead philologist.   und bat ihn: „Bitte, beuge mich!“
 
Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,   The village teacher climbed up straight   “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”   Der Dorfschulmeister stieg hinauf
Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit   upon his grave stone with its plate   He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”   auf seines Blechschilds Messingknauf
Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école   and to the apparition said   The seer arose a bit unsteady   und sprach zum Wolf, der seine Pfoten
Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”   who meekly knelt before the dead:   Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.   geduldig kreuzte vor dem Toten:
 
“ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes   “The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;   “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,   „Der Werwolf“ – sprach der gute Mann,
Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.   the banHERS, the possessive case.   While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:   „des Werwolfs, Genitiv sodann,
Loup-garoù ? mais avant   The banHER, next, is what they call   There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,   dem Werwolf, Dativ, wie man’s nennt,
Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?   objective case--and that is all.”   And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”   den Werwolf, - damit hat’s ein End!“
 
Loup-garcomment ? et puis   The banshee marveled at the cases   “I know that--I’m no mental cripple--   Dem Werwolf schmeichelten die Fälle
Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”   and writhed with pleasure, making faces,   The future form and participle   er rollte seine Augenbälle.
Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,   but said: “You did not add, so far,   Are what I crave,” the beast replied.   „Indessen“, bat er, „füge doch
Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.   the plural to the singular!”   The scholar paused--again he tried:   zur Einzahl auch die Mehrzahl noch!“
 
“ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,   The teacher, though, admitted then   “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:   Der Dorfschullehrer aber musste
Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”   that this was not within his ken.   ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!   gestehn, dass er von ihr nichts wusste.
A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.   “While bans are frequent”, he advised,   Such words are wounds beyond all suture--   Zwar Wölfe gab’s in großer Schar,
“ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié   “A she cannot be plurized.”   I’m sorry, but you have no future.”   doch „Wer“ gab’s nur im Sinular.
 
Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.   The banshee, rising clammily,   The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept   Der Wolf erhob sich tränenblind –
Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”   wailed: “What about my family?”   At home, and homewards now he crept,   er hatte ja doch Weib und Kind!
Mais comme le loup était bien poli   Then, being not a learned creature,   Happy, humble, without apology   Doch da er keine Gelehrter eben,
Il remercia et puis repartit.   said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.   For such folly of philology.   so schied er dankend und ergeben.
