You mean modern English translations? That would rock!
There lies one of the problems. I have, somewhere, a recording of a wonderful Italian piece about a Mother Superior scolding a young nun for keeping a lover, all the while wearing her own lover's boxers on her head. (She mistook them for her veil in the dark.) But it's in Italian. I'd have to write a lyric English translation before my audience would have any idea what's going on.
I've kicked about the idea of using the liner notes to try a translation for at least two years now, but never actually gotten around to it. The Riddles are widely translated, which spares me the difficulty. :)
