And the winner is...
@VeAqui with 168 letters. Regardless of me having absolute authority, I feel obliged to defend this decision: the last sentence of the translation has caused some raised eyebrows in the chat. Even if this sentence was judged as unacceptable and replaced with the ungolfed "Mamá la llamó nieve, susurró." (longer than any bronze-bringing solutions), the translation would be of length 172, one character below the tied silver score of 173 letters. Congratulations.
Mumble @walen mumble grumble.
