translated by Alexander Gross | translated by Bertilo Wennergren | |
A Werewolf, troubled by his name, | Jen lupfantom’ de famili’ | |
Left wife and brood one night and came | meznokte iam kuris for | |
To a hidden graveyard to enlist | al tombo de la profesor’. | |
The aid of a long-dead philologist. | kaj petis pri konjugaci’. | |
“Oh sage, wake up, please don’t berate me,” | Do diktis tiu dokta ul’ | |
He howled sadly, “Just conjugate me.” | starante sur la kructabul’ | |
The seer arose a bit unsteady | dum lup’ senmova kiel splinto | |
Yawned twice, wheezed once, and then was ready. | atentis vortojn de l’ mortinto. | |
“Well, ‘Werewolf’ is your plural past, | De “lupfantomo”, simpla rekta, | |
While ‘Waswolf’ is singularly cast: | tra “lupfintomo”, plej perfekta, | |
There’s ‘Amwolf’ too, the present tense, | plu “lupfontomo”, iom rara, | |
And ‘Iswolf,’ ‘Arewolf’ in this same sense.” | ĝis “lupfuntomo”, ho, koŝmara. | |
“I know that--I’m no mental cripple-- | Ĉi participoj plaĉis multe | |
The future form and participle | al la fantomo, kaj rezulte | |
Are what I crave,” the beast replied. | ĝi petis: “Legu plu el PIV-o | |
The scholar paused--again he tried: | pri participoj en pasivo.” | |
“A ‘Will-be-wolf?’ It’s just too long: | La viro ĉagreniĝis tamen: | |
‘Shall-be-wolf?’ ‘Has-been-wolf?’ Utterly wrong! | “Jam fermis mi per fin’ kaj amen, | |
Such words are wounds beyond all suture-- | ĉar netransiraj bestoj feblas | |
I’m sorry, but you have no future.” | kaj la pasiv’ neniam eblas.” | |
The Werewolf knew better--his sons still slept | Sed lupfantomo pri transiro | |
At home, and homewards now he crept, | ja spertas pli ol eĉ vampiro. | |
Happy, humble, without apology | La lup’ revenis larmokula | |
For such folly of philology. | al sia famili’ ulula. | |
