1. This is the book of a young man whose determination took him far from home
And in it grew his new homelands

2. It tells of how he parted from his beloved homeland
And how he was separated from the hands of his dear brothers

3. With sighs coming continuously from his breast
A heart that reveals its secrets in its throbbing

4. His worries come to him with the darkness
And his sorrows keep him from sleep

5. His steeds are accustomed to battling heroes
And the continuance of travel does not weary them

6. For two days make up his whole life
Either traveling or a day of war with its fires burning

7. But he does not flinch from disasters
He fears not the attacks of enemies nor cares for their threats
