"Have you seen my son Yanka?"
"No, but we heard his voice"
"That he was captured (attacked) by three Turkish young men."
The first one said "Jump in the water, Yanka."
"I am not a frog to jump in the water for you."
The second one said "Kneel to us, Yanka."
"I am not your servant, to kneel to you."
The third one said "Give yourself up, Yanka."
(We don't want to fight you.)
"I am not an old woman (coward) to give myself up."
One of them said "Okay, go away."
"I am not a deer to run away from you."
(You see, they didn't want to hurt him.
They knew who he was and respected him,
even though he was an enemy they were supposed to kill.)
"Have you seen my son Yanka?"
"No, but we heard his voice."
