translated by Max Knight   translated by Alexander Gross   translated by R. Platteau   translated by Hans Eiseneck
 
One night, a banshee slunk away   A Werewolf, troubled by his name,   Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,   Un hechicero, con esposa
from mate and child, and in the gloom   Left wife and brood one night and came   Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit   vino un día a la fosa
went to a village teacher’s tomb,   To a hidden graveyard to enlist   Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école   de su maestro, y al profesor
requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”   The aid of a long-dead philologist.   Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”   pidió: “¿Me cuentas? ¡Por favor!”
 
The village teacher climbed up straight   “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”   Un loup-garou, une certaine nuit,   El profesor sin vacilar
upon his grave stone with its plate   He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”   Laissa sa moitié et puis se rendit   subió y comenzó a hablar.
and to the apparition said   The seer arose a bit unsteady   Auprès de la tombe d’un maître d’école   Desde allá de su letrero
who meekly knelt before the dead:   Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.   Et lui dit, “ sur moi dis tout, c’est ton rôle ! ”   se dirigió al hechicero:
 
“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;   “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,   “ - On peut à ton sujet puisque nous y sommes   “El hechiuno” le explica,
the banHERS, the possessive case.   While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:   Se demander encor bien des choses en somme.   “el hechidos” después indica,
The banHER, next, is what they call   There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,   Loup-garoù ? mais avant   “el hechitres” dice al fin,
objective case--and that is all.”   And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”   Il faut se dire : loup-garquand ?   “con eso basta ¡chiquitín!”
 
The banshee marveled at the cases   “I know that--I’m no mental cripple--   Loup-garcomment ? et puis   El hechicero, conmovido
and writhed with pleasure, making faces,   The future form and participle   Bien évidemment loup-garqui ? ”   por lo que capta su oído,
but said: “You did not add, so far,   Are what I crave,” the beast replied.   Toutes ces questions semblèrent au loup bien absconses,   al maestro ruega, encantado,
the plural to the singular!”   The scholar paused--again he tried:   Car en fait ce qu’il voulait c’était les réponses.   que le adjunte un quebrado.
 
The teacher, though, admitted then   “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:   “ - Point de réponses, dit le puits de savoir,   Pero el profesor confiesa
that this was not within his ken.   ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!   Etre imaginaire, nul ne peut te voir ! ”   que nada sabe con certeza:
“While bans are frequent”, he advised,   Such words are wounds beyond all suture--   A ces mots l’animal éclata tout en larmes.   “Hay muchos hechos. Hechiceros
“A she cannot be plurized.”   I’m sorry, but you have no future.”   “ - Oh!, même les baisers de ma douce moitié   únicamente hay enteros.”
 
The banshee, rising clammily,   The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept   Ne pourrons plus me faire me sentir tout entier.   El brujo se volvió muy triste:
wailed: “What about my family?”   At home, and homewards now he crept,   Rester un loup-garou est un sort qui m’alarme. ”   “Mi cara mitad, ¿no la viste?”
Then, being not a learned creature,   Happy, humble, without apology   Mais comme le loup était bien poli   Ya que no era sabio
said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.   For such folly of philology.   Il remercia et puis repartit.   con gratitud se despidió.
