    Fire deh a mus-mus tail him t’ink a cool breeze

    Translation: Fire is behind the mouse and he thinks it is a cool breeze

    Meaning: You can sometimes be oblivious that your action is arousing wrath, as you do wrong and think it right

    this means that sometimes a young person by their actions endangers themselves, but from inexperience, believes that the reaction to what they are doing is encouragement

    I believe this to be a more complete interpretation

  3. Great translation Robert!
