translated by Max Knight   translated by Sven Collberg   translated by Alexander Gross   translated by Hans Eiseneck
 
One night, a banshee slunk away   En varulv lopp från fru m.m.   A Werewolf, troubled by his name,   Un hechicero, con esposa
from mate and child, and in the gloom   en vacker afton samt begav   Left wife and brood one night and came   vino un día a la fosa
went to a village teacher’s tomb,   sig till en bymagisters grav   To a hidden graveyard to enlist   de su maestro, y al profesor
requesting him: “Inflect me, pray.”   och bad: “Var snäll och konjugera.   The aid of a long-dead philologist.   pidió: “¿Me cuentas? ¡Por favor!”
 
The village teacher climbed up straight   mig!” Byskolläraren stod upp   “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,”   El profesor sin vacilar
upon his grave stone with its plate   på blecknamnsskyltens mässingknopp   He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.”   subió y comenzó a hablar.
and to the apparition said   med svar till den, som satt på pass   The seer arose a bit unsteady   Desde allá de su letrero
who meekly knelt before the dead:   med tåligt korslagd tass på tass.   Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready.   se dirigió al hechicero:
 
“The banSHEE, in the subject’s place;   “Jag var-ulv 1:a pers. i sing.,   “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past,   “El hechiuno” le explica,
the banHERS, the possessive case.   du, han, hon, den, det var-ulv. Så   While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast:   “el hechidos” después indica,
The banHER, next, is what they call   vi voro-ulv, I voren. På   There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense,   “el hechitres” dice al fin,
objective case--and that is all.”   de voro-ulv kom ingenting.”   And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.”   “con eso basta ¡chiquitín!”
 
The banshee marveled at the cases   Varulven myste glad åt hur   “I know that--I’m no mental cripple--   El hechicero, conmovido
and writhed with pleasure, making faces,   pers. hade följts av sing. och plur.   The future form and participle   por lo que capta su oído,
but said: “You did not add, so far,   “Fast”, bad han, “kan det inte ges ens   Are what I crave,” the beast replied.   al maestro ruega, encantado,
the plural to the singular!”   en enda pers. i tempus presens?”   The scholar paused--again he tried:   que le adjunte un quebrado.
 
The teacher, though, admitted then   Bekänna måste vår magister,   “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long:   Pero el profesor confiesa
that this was not within his ken.   att därvidlag fanns vissa brister.   ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong!   que nada sabe con certeza:
“While bans are frequent”, he advised,   En varulv sine imperfecto   Such words are wounds beyond all suture--   “Hay muchos hechos. Hechiceros
“A she cannot be plurized.”   var contradictio in adjecto.   I’m sorry, but you have no future.”   únicamente hay enteros.”
 
The banshee, rising clammily,   Varulven satt med tårad lins.   The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept   El brujo se volvió muy triste:
wailed: “What about my family?”   Han visste att han fanns och finns.   At home, and homewards now he crept,   “Mi cara mitad, ¿no la viste?”
Then, being not a learned creature,   Därtill kom också fru m.m.   Happy, humble, without apology   Ya que no era sabio
said humbly “Thanks” and left the teacher.   som även måste existera.   For such folly of philology.   con gratitud se despidió.
