    نحن ننام بأمان في أسرتنا لأن الرجال العنيفين يقفون مستعدين في الليل لزيارة العنف ضد أولئك الذين قد يؤذوننا.

    wir schlafen sicher in unseren Betten, weil raue Männer in der Nacht bereitstehen, um Gewalt gegen diejenigen zu besuchen, die uns Schaden zufügen würden.

    dormimos seguros en nuestras camas porque los hombres rudos están listos en la noche para infligir violencia a aquellos que quieren hacernos daño.

    nous dormons en sécurité dans nos lits parce que des hommes brutaux se tiennent prêts la nuit à infliger la violence à ceux qui voudraient nous faire du mal.

    我们睡在床上很安全,因为粗暴的人在夜间随时准备对那些伤害我们的人进行暴力。
