Translation:

This happened to Rhophounmêkhari.

She was gathering kheisiphape to stuff a pillow for her children.
Now, from the mountain came a wolf cub.
It hid itself in tall grass.
I saw it, and laughed to myself.
Rhopounmêkhari lay down under a tree.
Now, she was falling asleep.
The wuff went... going... ha!
It bit her finger.
She nearly died of fright.
She fled into the lake and wouldn't come out and we couldn't stop laughing.

Translation:

Dênadê is my name, for I am a tall man of my people.
I come from a distant country.. it is twelve nights I have been walking.
My people's water has been poisoned by the contemptible man Hundaphtha
He will kill our men,
Carry off our women,
And eat our dogs.

bainne mazen leu, ha hun phaïrte
bainne khassan leu, ha ouïte
bainne delên leu, ha hun teïldre

I curse your women, that they may not give birth;
I curse your bones, that they break;
I curse your tongue, that it may not speak.
