1. O Lord, the life of the misguided is loss
Release your prisoner, for life is captivity

2. As if the life of a person is the sail of a ship
That sails on breaths, easy and difficult

3. As if the world is but waves, whoever
Hopes in it, that is an easy sail

4. Similar times to the past will return
And good fortunes will wake from their slumber

5. And when a young man sees time with his eyes
Hardship becomes easy, and poverty disappears
