1. By your life! Though I and the oppressor are in a barren land,
With differing passions, confused inclinations.

2. After long enmity, a friend of pure heart,
Oh! How hearts fluctuate! And how fate does confer!

3. By my life! The wolf's person and the wolf are struggling,
Against me, and the ghoul's person in the barren land.

4. More beloved to my heart than mankind at dawn,
Even if they speak to me of spoils and rewards.
