1. Wrap him and bury him, let him rest
In the depths of the dark grave

2. And go, do not mourn him, for he is a people
Dead, not to awake

3. They humiliated him, killed him, burdened him
Beyond what he could bear

4. He bore the burden of humiliation for ages
So he was seasoned in humiliation

5. Violation of honor, pillaging of land, hanging of some
Did not stir his anger

6. So why do we shed tears recklessly
The firewood cannot live

7. No, by my Lord, a people without a heart
Have no life in them to bestow

8. So let history fold the book of weakness
And clear its records

9. And let us trade in emigrants and let us pride
Ourselves on our morals

10. It does not matter if the people all perished
Are we not safe?

11. Many have sought vengeance, much dishonor, much fire
Stirred the coward’s heart

12. It is all in us but did not stir
Anything but the tongue
