1. I saw you being frank with a friend, revealing
Your enemy feels safe from the blows of time,

2. And jokingly disclosing friends' secrets,
Many a joke has led to hidden grudges.

3. I will keep what's between us safe and secure,
Keeping one's word is what free souls endure,

4. I will meet you with a cheerful, smiling face,
But want no shallow friend who flatters and feigns.

5. I will guard what you entrusted carefully,
What's seen is clear, what's hidden remains unseen.
