1. O son of mankind, my master, o son of man
My helper through the adversities of my life

2. May God sever the beard of whoever is covetous
And cast him into oblivion like a stone

3. Whatever you wish to do with me today
I wander between a tide of suspicions

4. And an ebb of certainty
At times, fortune smiles on me and I have hope

5. And at other times, I see signs of my poverty
A lonely, single man, my legs alternate

6. Between an empty belly that pains me and a back
Yet I see a filled water skin walking on

7. Some of my affairs, would that I know
You know, and for your servant that is enough

8. He hopes for your word, you know
