Thought I posted something a minute or two ago...

The translation on the website is relatively "free" i.e. not trying to be literal but trying to maintain the poetic feeling and, where possible, rhythm.

The Google translation is mechanical i.e. not aware of poetry and not particularly good at being literal!
