1. If my own tribe reproach me when I fail
To visit them in times of tribulation,

2. My answer is: remind me when you feast,
And summon me on days of celebration.

3. How oft I've been diseased, and none of you
Came to assist me in my times of need!

4. Make peace with me, reproach me not at all,
If I'm remiss in visiting when you're ill.
