I travelled through the country, |
|
Where the Fetid tree grew luxuriant. |
|
Because of our affinity by marriage, |
|
I went to reside with you. |
|
But you do not entertain me; |
|
And I go back to my country and clan. |
|
I travelled through the country, |
|
Gathering the sheep's-foot. |
|
Because of our affinity by marriage, |
|
I came to lodge with you. |
|
But you do not entertain me; |
|
And I will return, I will go back. |
|
I travelled through the country, |
|
Gathering the pokeweed. |
|
You do not think of our old affinity, |
|
And seek to please your new relative. |
|
If indeed you are not influenced by her riches, |
|
You still are so by the difference [between the new and the old]. |
