1. When you act with a base nature
You and the one you act with are equal

2. I have seen the free man avoid dishonor
And protect himself from treachery through loyalty

3. There is no hardship without respite after
Its intensity passes and comfort comes

4. I have experienced time until
Experiences and tribulations have taught me

5. When the head of a household leaves
The people's indifference appears to them

6. One lives well as long as he lives with honor
And wood remains as long as its bark remains

7. No, by God, there is no good in life
When modesty is gone from the world

8. If you do not fear the consequences of nights
And are not shy, then do as you wish

9. Vile deeds from a noble people
Will bring them eternal disgrace amongst their own
