Da nun der Bräutigam verzog, wurden sie alle schläfrig und schliefen ein.
Y tardándose el esposo, cabecearon todas, y se durmieron.
Comme l'époux tardait, toutes s'assoupirent et s'endormirent.
Ora, tardando lo sposo, tutte divennero sonnacchiose, e si addormentarono.
E, tardando o esposo, tosquenejaram todas, e adormeceram.
新郎遲延的時候,她們都打盹,睡著了。
