1. My neighbors, I had hoped for them
In times of need and drought

2. Yet I've become, because of my neighbor, in danger
Between schadenfreude and the tyranny of envy

3. They've become like predatory beasts with skin
As black as those without skin

4. You'll meet a beast protecting honor
While the neighbor lies in ambush

5. Eyes flashing when I call on them
At the scream, they envy the number

6. Seeking out my faults enviously
For they are fiercer towards me than a lion
