    La parole humaine est un chaudron fêlé sur lequel nous assommons des airs pour danser les ours, lorsque nous voulons évoquer la pitié des étoiles.

    az emberi beszéd egy repedt üst, amelyen a táncoló medvék dallamait ütjük ki, amikor a csillagoktól való szánalmat kívánjuk felidézni.

    דיבור אנושי הוא קדירה סדוקה עליה אנו מפסיקים לחנים לריקודים של דובים, כאשר אנו רוצים להעלות רחמים מהכוכבים.

    人間のスピーチは割れた大釜で、星から哀れみを思い起こさせたいときに、踊るクマの曲をノックアウトします。
