1. We live in an age full of vice
Where shedding blood is purposeless
١. نحن في دهر على المع
دم لا يجدي أبّوه
2. And a father gains no merit
From the virtues of his sons
٢. وعلى الوالد لا يف
ضلُ إن عال بنوه
3. Were people to see a noble man
In chains, they would not free him
٣. لو رأى الناس شريفا
سلائلا ما وصلوه
4. And if they craved a bite to eat
They'd feast on the rations of a dog
٤. وهم إن طمعوا
في زاد كلب أكلوه
