Translation Comparison

The moments of bribery, the gentler life situations, the occasional softening should never make you forget, when you are facing a woman, that you are a warrior, whose skin and life the opponent wants. Fight chivalrously, but fight. If you sometimes meet with generosity, pay with generosity; if you receive tenderness, give back, without emotion, with tenderness what you have received; when you encounter passion, respond with unconditional passion. But never, for a single moment, forget that naked selfishness and vanity smolder at the bottom of every emotional encounter. He lies on the embers, who lies in a woman's bed. You can burn your skin there; he must save his human rank and honor. Listen and fight. Opponents stand around, with feathers in their hair and paint on their faces, like wild warriors.
