För inbitna anglofiler finns dikten också på hyfsad engelska för den som tycker det skulle vara mer bekvämt.
You have lost your word and your paper slip,
You barefoot child in life.
So sitting here on the merchant's step,
You cry, alone, abandoned.
Think of the word -- was it short or long?
Was it sweetly or severely written?
Lest we push you away, remember and be strong,
You barefoot child in life.
