Heheh,i catch your drift.Not a surprise either,the natives didn't need all these fancy words.They had Love,different meanings with more profound messages.Love is obviously the only reason he ever bothered to write these poems down,knowing,that some day they will be translated into the language of the snakes,for them to purify and cleanse themselves.

Something along the lines of "grown children" and "little men"?

If not then please do correct me for my snake tongue hasn't yet learned to define the different meanings that can be sensed through diluting the poison in one's mouth.
