| a1+ | Oh lord, ... |
| a2 | ... (It would not be right) for you to go to the forest alone. |
| a2+ | Therefore, in whichever direction you will go (there I will go too). |
| a3 | ... in no way will I pay attention to the exertion in the forest, not even ... |
| a4 | ... || In the ?-tune:|| The forests [are] free from evil beings, |
| a4+ | not by anyone (are its creeks and rivers appreciated) ... |
| a5 | as if covered with a carpet of beryl, with lovely spaces of grass |
| a6+ | ... If I am together with the children [and] yourself, I will not be worried about... (?) |
| b2 | ... (even you) will not be annoyed by going to the forest (together with the sons), because ... ... || In the ?.-tune: || |

| b2+ | If you see the two ornamented with flower strings … you cannot remember kinghood; (if you see) the two childish ones (playing) in the salty bushes … you cannot think about the royal rank and worth. (If you) … the [appropriate] season …, the good and the bad season … if you see the … that cause joys; the courses (?) of the water dug by nature … as if sitting among … you will certainly enjoy yourself.
