1. Awaken us at dawn in the garden
To refresh our spirits

2. With a breeze bearing the scent of flowers
Whenever it wafts by

3. Rise and approach the fig dishes
If they come early

4. And when the grapes arrive
Hasten to meet them

5. Beware of the lemons, take great care
A cat never succeeds

6. And look upon the orange trees from afar
To find peace

7. I saw a cow in a pen, she bellowed
At her calf

8. I went to covet her creamy milk
Drink it, my friend!

9. He butted me, kicked me, and ran away
Her feisty calf

10. Lower me into my grave, measure it
And summon the carpenter

11. Spread out the prayer rug, leave some food
And listen, O people

12. Reunite my remains with bananas strewn
In honey flowing free

13. And pour syrup on the cake
Snatched by the crocodile
