- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): And at that corner, in the house over there, I heard my most beloved, dear lady sing so well, so beautifully, so clearly, and in such a feminine way in her melodious voice, that it seems to me I still hear the heavenly sound in my soul! And in that place over there my lady first took me into her favour.’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 向こうの家の、あの片隅で、おれの最愛の人はとても女性らしく振舞って、快い美しい声を発してとても上手に、思いやりを込め、はっきりと歌うのが聞こえた。まだおれの心の中からその至福の響きが聞こえてくるようだ。そしてあのあそこの所でおれの愛する人は初めておれに好意を示してくれたのだ。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 在那所屋子的一角，我曾听见爱人的歌声，十分优美嘹亮。至今我心魂深处仍忘不了那优越的曲调；那边就是她首次垂怜于我的地方。”
