TURN

!cînd m-am născut, mama,

pe-o masă, întinsă,

cumplit suferea,

mama mea cea bună,

pe-o masă;

dar pe cealaltă

mama mea Moartea

surîdea

căci copilul ei mă năşteam

fără ca ea să sufere!

TOWER

!when  I got birth, my mother,

on a table, stretched,

was terribly suffering,

my true mother,

on a table;

but on the other

my mother Death

was smiling

cause I got birth as her child

and she was not suffering!
