English translation:

A man would go to his home.
He felt yearning for his wife and child.
But he had to pass a large forest.
Where suddenly a robber attacked him.

"Give your money, your life is lost.
Give your money or your life full of happyness.
Give your money, or I'll have to pierce you,
I'll put the dagger on your chest. "

"My money, I can not give you, unfortunately,
so take only my life full of happyness,
so take only my beautiful young life,
I open my breast with my own accord. "

The robber stopped for a while,
"I do not want to stab today...
Ah, but oh, what am I to see with thee,
what is the picture of you wearing on your chest? "

"This is the portrait of my dear mother.
This is his portrait, my mother gave it to me. "
He kissed him. They both kissed him.
"Oh God forgive me, my brother is standing before me."

"Forgiveness has already happened to me for a long time.
Forgiveness for long ago...
Twelve years is that we have not seen each other,
and now I must stand before you as a robber. "

The two brothers were crying with joy,
and remained long silent and still.
A man would go to his home
and tears flowed in this reunion.
