Backtranslation

Fire burns well as I write, but I write with difficulty. Some friends talk and they end eight cigarettes. Afterwards we sit together and do not move. Because my translator and I are tired, I say, “please, my friend ɑɬiʃɑsɑna fiu, we have been passengers for six hours. We will arrive in the white valley the day after tomorrow.”
