Qu’ils jouent avec mon corps,

Qu’ils le méprisent, qu’ils en rient ! Puisque je le leur ai offert,

À quoi bon le chérir autant ?

Whether they use it for play, amusement

Or to ridicule it, Since I have already offered it

Why should it concern me?

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

Whether they make a joke of it.

Criticize, or laugh at it. Since I already gave away this body.

This version differs from it's counterparts.

Regardless of whether others play with my body,

Ridicule it, or make it the object of laughter, Because I have given it away,

What is the point of cherishing this body trying to protect it?
