But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then look: you see the grain-fields down yonder? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat..."

"Ina so, sosai," yarima ƙarami ya amsa. "Amma ba ni da lokaci mai yawa. Ina da abokai da zan gano, da abubuwa masu yawa da zan fahimta."

🔊 "One only understands the things that one tames," said the fox. "Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me..."

"Mutum yana fahimtar abubuwan da ya horar da su kawai," in ji kwayo. "Mutane ba su da ƙarin lokaci don fahimtar wani abu. Suna sayen abubuwa da aka riga aka yi a shaguna.

"Dole ne ka yi haƙuri sosai," kwayo ya amsa. "Da farko za ka zauna a ɗan nesa daga gare ni—kamar haka—a cikin ciyawa. Zan dube ka daga kusurwar idona, kuma ba za ka ce komai ba. Kalmomi su ne tushen rashin fahimta. Amma za ka zauna ɗan kusa da ni, kowace rana..."

I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o'clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you... One must observe the proper rites..."

n. Biki ko tsarin al'ada na musamman, sau da yawa na addini.

Every Thursday they dance with the village girls. So Thursday is a wonderful day for me! I can take a walk as far as the vineyards. But if the hunters danced at just any time, every day would be like every other day, and I should never have any vacation at all."

"Waɗannan ma ayyuka ne da ake yawan yin sakaci," in ji kwayo. "Su ne abin da ke sa rana ɗaya ta bambanta da wasu kwanaki, sa'a ɗaya ta bambanta da wasu sa'o'i.

🔊 "Yes, that is so," said the fox.

🔊 "Then it has done you no good at all!"

🔊 "Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world. Then come back to say goodbye to me, and I will make you a present of a secret."

🔊 The little prince went away, to look again at the roses.

Yarima ƙarami ya tafi, don sake duba wardi.

🔊 "You are not at all like my rose," he said. "As yet you are nothing. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world."

"Ba ka kama da wardi na ba kwata-kwata," ya ce. "Har yanzu ba kome ba ne. Babu wanda ya horar da ku, kuma ba ku horar da kowa ba. Kuna kamar kwayona lokacin da na fara saninsa. Shi kwayo ne kawai kamar dubunnan wasu kwayoyi. Amma na mai da shi abokina, kuma yanzu shi ne na musamman a duk duniya."

Kuma wardi sun ji kunya sosai.

🔊

embarrassed /ɪmˈbærəst/

adj. Kunyar fuska; jin kunya ko rashin jin daɗi sabidan wani abu.

🔊 "You are beautiful, but you are empty," he went on. "One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you—the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or ever sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose."

"Kuna da kyau, amma kuna da fanko," ya ci gaba. "Mutum ba zai iya mutuwa saboda ku ba. Tabbas, wani mai wucewa na yau da kullun zai yi tunanin wardi na ya yi kama da ku—wardin da nake da shi.
