In stanzas III and IV, when the phrase Hitciya yahina-a stands alone as a line, it has been inserted. It appears in the original, but was omitted by Mr. Russell in his translation. In fact, it concludes every sentence in the song. Observe that the introductory phrase is the same for each stanza. Mr. Russell does not use the full repetition of the original.
