1. I endured life, so suffering grew long
No good in living with a companion

2. Formerly I was impetuous and violent
He whom fate satisfies finds company

3. Whenever you turn pale for the sovereign's face
You are clothed in beauty by turning pale

4. The old man loves not hoping for revival
Unlike the boy when he begins to love

5. And no one loved me as a blessing
But the Lord of lords has loved

6. I advised you, so act for Him always
And if death comes, say welcome
