1. The struggles of life in distress,
And the happiness of the oppressor unfettered,

2. The enemy grieves for their state,
And the friend complains of it.

3. Ask whoever you find on the way,
Who forgot about them,

4. How are those astray in misguidance,
The fire of turmoil flared up.

5. Two afflicted brothers calling,
For their fellow to help,

6. They hold on to each other
As a drowning man holds another.

7. Who will remember the weak ones,
With kindness and compassion,

8. They seek justice,
That rules, where are the rights?

9. Their wait has been so long,
The longing of the loving people,

10. Especially the hero of the story,
Who is like him or a catapult.

11. Say O enemy of truth,
Your false glamour will vanish,

12. We will show you your despised state,
When you stand upright with guilt.

13. On that witnessed day,
Be ready, O knight of turmoil,

14. For the troops have surrounded you,
And you are driven among them.

15. O brother of the gentle heart.
