Machine translation:
Yes! I know where I come from!
As insatiable as a flame,
I smolder and consume myself.
Everything I seize turns into light,
Everything I let go turns into coal:
Surely I am a flame!
Traditional rhyming translation:
Yes! I know from what I came
Unquenched just like the flame
Glowing and consuming I am
Light for all that I catch,
Everything coal to my match.
I am surely a flame!
My quick translation:
Yes! I know what I am!
Like the flame, insatiable,
I glow and I consume myself.
All I touch, it turns to light.
All that I unclutch, to coal:
Surely I am the flame!
