I have only a short time to live, only one death to die, and I will die fighting for this cause. There will be no peace in this land until slavery is done for.

    Jeg har kun kort tid at leve, kun én død at dø, og jeg vil dø i kamp for denne sag. der vil ikke være fred i dette land, før slaveriet er gjort for.

    Solo tengo poco tiempo de vida, solo una muerte que morir, y moriré luchando por esta causa. no habrá paz en esta tierra hasta que se acabe la esclavitud.

    Minulla on vain vähän aikaa elää, vain yksi kuolema kuolla, ja kuolen taistelemalla tämän asian puolesta. tässä maassa ei ole rauhaa ennen kuin orjuus on tehty.

    Je n'ai que peu de temps à vivre, une seule mort à mourir et je mourrai en combattant pour cette cause. il n'y aura pas de paix dans ce pays tant que l'esclavage ne sera pas fait.

    Breve tempus habeo ut vivam, una tantum morte ut moriar, et ob hanc causam pugnans morior. nulla in hac terra pax erit quam servitus exerceatur.

    mam tylko krótki czas życia, tylko jedną śmierć na śmierć i umrę walcząc o tę sprawę. nie będzie pokoju na tej ziemi, dopóki nie zostanie zniesiona niewolnictwo.

    Jag har bara en kort tid kvar att leva, bara en död att dö, och jag kommer att dö i kampen för denna sak. det kommer ingen fred i detta land förrän slaveriet är slut.
