Robert Service: My Brothers (English)

 
While I make rhymes my brother John 
Makes shiny shoes which dames try on, 
And finding to their fit and stance 
They buy and wear with elegance; 
But mine is quite another tale,-- 
      For song there is no sale. 
       
My brother Tom a tailor shop 
Is owner of, and ladies stop 
To try the models he has planned, 
And richly pay, I understand: 
Yet not even a dingy dime 
Can I make with my rhyme. 

My brother Jim sells stuff to eat 
Like trotters, tripe and sausage meat. 
I dare not by his window stop, 
Lest he should offer me a chop; 
For though a starving bard I be, 
To hell, say I, with charity! 

My brothers all are proud of purse, 
But though my poverty I curse, 
I would not for a diadem 
Exchange my lowly lot with them: 
A garret and a crust for me, 
And reams and dreams of Poetry.

Service De Robert: Mes Frères (French)

 
Tandis que je fais des rimes mon frère John fait les chaussures 
brillantes que les dames essayent, et la conclusion à leur ajustement 
et position qu'ils achètent et porte avec l'élégance; Mais la mine 
est un tout à fait autre conte, - - pour la chanson là n'est aucune 
vente. 
       
Mon frère Tom un magasin de tailleur est propriétaire de, et les 
dames cessent d'essayer les modèles qu'il a projetés, et richement 
salaire, je comprends: Pourtant pas égaliser un dixième de dollar 
terne peut je faire avec ma rime. 

Mon frère Jim vend la substance pour manger comme la viande de 
trotteurs, de tripes et de saucisse. J'ose pas par son arrêt de 
fenêtre, de peur qu'il devrait m'offrir un coup de hache; Pour bien 
qu'un barde affamé I soit, à l'enfer, la parole I, avec la charité 
! 

Mes frères tous sont fiers de la bourse, mais bien que ma pauvreté 
que je maudis, de moi pas  pour un échange de diadem mon sort modeste 
avec eux: Une mansarde et une croûte pour moi, et rames et rêves de 
la poésie.

Robert Service: Meine Brüder (German)

 
Während ich Reime bilde, bildet mein Bruder John glänzende Schuhe, 
die Dames an versuchen, und das Finden zu ihrem Sitz und zu Position, 
die sie kaufen und trägt mit Eleganz; Aber Grube ist durchaus eine 
andere Geschichte, - - für Lied dort ist kein Verkauf. 
       
Mein Bruder Tom ein Schneidergeschäft ist Inhaber von, und Damen 
stoppen, um die Modelle zu versuchen, die er geplant hat, und reich 
Bezahlung, verstehe ich: Dennoch nicht einen schmuddeligen Groschen 
glätten kann ich mit meinem Reim bilden. 

Mein Bruder Jim verkauft Material, um wie Huf-, Kaldaunen- und 
Wurstfleisch zu essen. Ich traue nicht durch seinen Fensteranschlag, 
aus Furcht daß er mir einen Hieb anbieten sollte; Für, obwohl ein 
verhungernder Barde I, zur Hölle, Sagen I ist, mit Nächstenliebe! 

Meine Brüder alle sind auf Geldbeutel, aber, obwohl meine Armut, die 
ich verfluche, mich wurden nicht für einen diadem Austausch mein 
niedriges Los mit ihnen stolz: Eine Mansarde und eine Kruste für mich 
und Pakete und Träume von Poesie.

Serviço De Robert: Meus Irmãos (Portuguese)

 
Quando eu fizer rimas meu irmão John faz as sapatas brilhantes que os 
dames tentam sobre, e encontrar a seus ajuste e stance que compram e 
desgasta-os com elegance; Mas a mina não é um completamente outro 
tale, - - para a canção lá é nenhuma venda. 
       
Meu irmão Tom uma loja do alfaiate é proprietário de, e as senhoras 
param para tentar os modelos que planeou, e rica pagamento, eu 
compreendo: Contudo não nivelar uma moeda de dez centavos dingy pode 
mim fazer com minha rima. 

Meu irmão Jim vende o material para comer como a carne dos 
trotadores, do tripe e do sausage. Eu ouso não por seu batente da 
janela, a fim de que não deva me oferecer um chop; Para embora um 
bard starving I seja, ao inferno, palavra I, com charity! 

Meus irmãos todos são orgulhosos da bolsa, mas embora minha pobreza 
que eu curse, do mim não  para uma troca do diadem meu lote humilde 
com eles: Um garret e uma crosta para mim, e resmas e sonhos da 
poesia.

Servicio De Roberto: Mis Hermanos (Spanish)

 
Mientras que hago rimas mi hermano Juan hace los zapatos brillantes 
que las damas intentan encendido, y encontrar a su ajuste y postura 
que compran y usa con elegancia; Pero la mina es absolutamente otro 
cuento, - - para la canción allí no es ninguna venta. 
       
Mi hermano Tom una tienda del sastre es dueño de, y las señoras 
paran para intentar los modelos que él ha planeado, y rico paga, 
entiendo: Con todo no igualar una moneda de diez centavos sórdida 
puede yo hacer con mi rima. 

Mi hermano Jim vende la materia para comer como la carne de los 
trotones, de la tripa y de la salchicha. Me atrevo no por su parada de 
la ventana, a fin de él deba ofrecerme una tajada; ¡Para aunque un 
bardo muerto de hambre I sea, al infierno, opinión I, con caridad! 

Mis hermanos todos son orgullosos el monedero, pero aunque mi pobreza 
que maldigo, de mí no  para un intercambio del diadem mi porción 
humilde con él: Una buhardilla y una corteza para mí, y resmas y 
sueños de la poesía.
