1. Leave Adam, may God not heal his lips of raving,
Weeping for his murdered son Abel.

2. So in punishment for his sin
We keep contracting illnesses.

3. While we, from folly, regard with wonder
A band standing confused, losing the way.

4. They are naughty children, though they feel secure,
If they guard their secrets, that won't lack naughtiness.

5. An age that changes and a day that doesn't pass us
Without increasing the reasonable one's madness.

6. Of the strangest strangeness, black-faced impudent ones
Whose children would be white rabbits.

7. The lion, the biting one, acted pious,
And the tree roots produced lions, mounts.

8. Drinking alcohol corrupts
Through the fault of Lamech, Cain, and Abel.

9. As for your worldly garments, they are fleeting,
And you haven't been clothed with piety.

10. So the dust met the scattered pearls with a mouth
That tries to kiss the wanton singing girl.

11. And I didn't find the deaths of the heedless people
Neglect a lion cub or pardon a young lion.

12. I see pretentiousness in people has reached you
To the stars, though you are insignificant.
