Christian Morgenstern, | Christian Morgenstern, | |
| translated by Hans Eiseneck | translated by Alexander Gross | |
| Un hechicero, con esposa | A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | |
| vino un día a la fosa | Left wife and brood one night and came | |
| de su maestro, y al profesor | To a hidden graveyard to enlist | |
| pidió: “¿Me cuentas? ¡Por favor!” | The aid of a long-dead philologist. | |
| El profesor sin vacilar | “Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | |
| subió y comenzó a hablar. | He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | |
| Desde allá de su letrero | The seer arose a bit unsteady | |
| se dirigió al hechicero: | Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | |
| “El hechiuno” le explica, | “Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | |
| “el hechidos” después indica, | While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | |
| “el hechitres” dice al fin, | There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | |
| “con eso basta ¡chiquitín!” | And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | |
| El hechicero, conmovido | “I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | |
| por lo que capta su oído, | The future form and participle | |
| al maestro ruega, encantado, | Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | |
| que le adjunte un quebrado. | The scholar paused--again he tried: | |
| Pero el profesor confiesa | “A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | |
| que nada sabe con certeza: | ‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | |
| “Hay muchos hechos. Hechiceros | Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | |
| únicamente hay enteros.” | I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | |
| El brujo se volvió muy triste: | The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | |
| “Mi cara mitad, ¿no la viste?” | At home, and homewards now he crept, | |
| Ya que no era sabio | Happy, humble, without apology | |
| con gratitud se despidió. | For such folly of philology. | |
