Wen you look pan it bot none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya, none ya a none ya. Wen you lisn fi it bot none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya, none ya a none ya. Wen you grab fi it bot none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya, none ya a none ya. Deh three ting no can question pass dat, so dem merge inna one.
Di top pa it no bright, di bottom pa it no dark, it stretch out widout end, no can call it by name, it go back ta di notin ya so.
Weh no shape weh it have, weh no ting weh you cyan si, weh no ya so but weh no ya so, weh none ya, weh none ya but weh none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya.
If you face it you neva si di front a it. If you follow it, you neva si di back a it. Hold pan di old way ya, fi drive di present day ting ya so. One who can know di very beginnin' a tings, weh a true.

Wah dis chaptа bout?
Dis chapter taak bout di Tao, weh no ya fi di eye, no ya fi di ear, no ya fi di han'. Yet still it deh ya, weh none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya, weh none ya. It no have no form, no have no shape, you cyan si it but it neva stop ya. It come from no whe ya so, an' neva have no start an' no end.
We look at it, and we do not see it, and we name it 'the Equable.' We listen to it, and we do not hear it, and we name it 'the Inaudible.' We try to grasp it, and do not get hold of it, and we name it 'the Subtle.' This is called the Form of the Formless, and the Semblance of the Invisible; this is called the Fleeting and Indeterminable.
