1. If only you stayed in a house
Where the dear is cheap in its corners

2. And the incoming supplies do not awaken
The heart and body from its illness

3. Luxury has abandoned it, so that
Its inhabitant has nothing but his misery

4. Oh how close is the difference between its
Laughter one day and its weeping the next

5. It's as if I live there with a barren brother
Who gathers its few possessions

6. And travels on infertile land without
Provisions or water

7. And one with an illness that has befallen him
And his doctors can no longer cure

8. So say to him who thought I was preoccupied
With his ruckus on the day of his ruckus

9. And I don't care about the contempt of one
In his morning or his evening

10. You have survived but with a deficiency, just as
The rain pool gathers for its frogs

11. And the insult of a young man is like the praise of a young man
For his forms and his peers
