1. Where can I escape from death, where can I flee
No escape, for it adorns all necks like necklaces

2. Though I tried to escape from its grip
It clung to me like necklaces cling to necks

3. Neither the child is safe from its cruel arrows
Nor the old who it tires in their fatigue

4. It is the destination of man and source of its watering
An event that flows with the strongest currents

5. From what he receives alive and talking
Arrogant in virtues and morals

6. Until you see him as death’s partner
Wooden in lineage and veins

7. With smooth reins obeying every rider
Unable to deflect what fate has decreed
