Translation

| a1 | the noble one does not care about my conduct either. [But] anytime she stretches her arm when she serves me, she pulls [me] onto her lap, as it were. The jewelry upon her breasts hardly moves, |
|---|---|
| a1+ | it merely is lifted a little. |
| a2 | But even though she is shy, she nevertheless gladdens my heart with love. |
| a2+ | Who may she be? |
| a3 | Is she the sister, the daughter, or the wife, or the servant of the mechanic, or has she come to him as a guest, just like me? |
| a3+ | (But) a guest would not have been charged to pay honour to [another] guest. |
| a4+ | But very much the mechanic has shown his trust in me that he has left a girl so beautiful alone with me. |
| a5+ | And the painter [says to himself]: By my passion she shall (not be aggrieved(?)); |
| a6 | he yawns and is about to stretch out his hand. |
| a6+ | Thus (he thinks) to himself while looking at the girl. |
| b1 | || In the A.-tune: || But no! Love has arrived in person, in order to confuse me by his own face ... |
| b1+ | What if perhaps she had seated herself right before [lit. manifestly] me to honour me? |
| b2 | As long as I don’t speak to [lit. honour] her with heart-felt affection [lit. honour], my dream [that] this gentle one serves me, does not get spoilt yet. |
| b3 | Again he thinks: |
| b3+ | Seeing the great danger, the wise ones are not allowed here to profess love to ten kinds of women. |
| b4 | Thus it is said: |
| b5+ | to the royal spouse, to the father’s spouse, to the spouse of a general, to that of a relative, to that of the teacher, to an exceedingly adulatory woman, to a woman thinking of profit, to a woman available to many, and mainly (to a beautiful) |

| a1 | [But] anytime she stretches her arm when she serves me, she pulls [me] onto her lap, as it were. (cf 9; 258) (Peyrot 2013b: 251) |
|---|---|
| a1 | [Wenn] sie den Arm reckt, indem sie [mich] bedient, zieht [wtl. nimmt] sie [mich] gleichsam in [ihren] Schoß. (Schmidt 1974: 408) |
| a1+ | Das Geschmeide auf ihren Brüsten bewegt sich kaum, es hebt sich eben nur. (Schmidt 1974: 77, 277, 294) |
| a2 | Aber [wenn sie] auch schüchtern [ist], [so] macht sie doch mein Herz von Liebe froh. (Schmidt 1974: 505) |
| a2+ | Who may she be? Is she the sister, the daughter, or the wife, or the servant of the mechanic, or has she come to him as a guest, just like me? (cf 9; 46) (Peyrot 2013b: 282) |
| a2+ | Wer [ist] sie wohl? Ist sie des Mechanikers Schwester [oder] Tochter oder Frau oder Dienerin? (Schmidt 1974: 109) |
| a3+ | (But) a guest would not have been charged to pay honour to [another] guest. (cf 9; 258) (Peyrot 2013b: 273) |
| a5+ | Darauf [denkt] der Maler: "Durch (meine) Leidenschaft soll (sie nicht geschädigt(?)) sein", er gähnt [und] macht Miene, die Hand zu strecken. (Schmidt 1974: 92) |
| b1+ | What if perhaps she had seated herself right before [lit. manifestly] me to honour me? As long as I don't speak to [lit. honour] her with heart-felt affection [lit. honour], my dream [that] this gentle one serves me, does not get spoilt yet. (Peyrot 2013b: 651) |
| b1+ | Wenn sie offenbar etwa nur, [um] mich zu verehren, vor mir sitzen (sollte), [so] stört diese Zarte, [mich] bedienend, [von sich aus] auch nicht meinen Traum, solange ich zu dieser nicht die Sprache des Herzens spreche. (Schmidt 1974: 485, 490) |
| b3+ | Wiederum denkt er: "Im Hinblick auf große Gefahr ist ja hier Klugen nicht erlaubt, zu zehnerlei Frauen Liebe zu äußern ..." (Schmidt 1974: 179-80) |
Commentary
Remarks
| Transcription and references have been transferred from the "Text and Reference Database of the Tocharian A Language" (Gerd Carling Lund University) (funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and SCAS). | |
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. |
Philological commentary
| The translation is largely based on Sieg 1944: 9-10, and Carling et al. 2009. | |
| n1 | The stretching out of the painter's hand is most likely a gesture of dismissal; cf. Sieg 1944: 9, fn. 8. |
| n2 | the tune is 4x14 syllables, rhythm 7/7. |
