1. If time has turned grey, it is an old man
Who deserves confusion and forgetfulness

2. He has become healthy without illness
No guarantee has appeared in his persona

3. If the stars say we are older company
Then they are his guarantee

4. A foreigner has made clear the secrets
Or made evil his interpreter

5. So entrust a libertine with pebbles
And entrust an ascetic with worry beads

6. Neither of them will deliver to you
The entrusted deposit of security
