Ripetetele ai vostri figli. O vi si sfaccia la casa, la malattia vi impedisca, i vostri nati torcano il viso da voi. (Repeat them to your children. Or may your house crumble, illness best you, your descendents turn their faces from you).

Meditate che questo è stato: vi comando queste parole. Scolpitele nel vostro cuore stando in casa andando per via, coricandovi, alzandovi. (Stop to think that this has happened; I commend these words to you, carve them into your heart, at home, on the street, at home, on your way, sleeping, waking)

Considerate se questa è una donna, senza capelli e senza nome senza più forza di ricordare vuoti gli occhi e freddo il grembo come una rana d'inverno. (Consider whether this is a woman, without hair or name, without strength left to remember, with empty eyes and cold womb, like a frog in winter)

Considerate se questo è un uomo che lavora nel fango che non conosce pace che lotta per mezzo pane che muore per un si o per un no. (Consider whether this is a man, who works in mud, who knows no peace, who fights for half a piece of bread, who dies by a yes or a no)
