1. The world opposes us in anger and contentment
When a person is about to rejoice it says to him: wait!

2. It is water, if only I knew its course
I would say to myself: its course was ignorance

3. It never had mercy on a child, honored a young man
Had compassion on an old man, or respected an elder

4. We headed to the sad plain seeking
Ease but we did not find ease or plain sailing

5. So do not expect good days ever
For good is not thought well of in them
