1. I have known men and tried them,
And one's knowledge is in his experience.

2. If you ask about their situation,
Each one leans towards his desires.

3. Bless the wise young man,
Who goes with time in its cycle,

4. Who gently guides his sons,
As he endures time in its intervals.

5. Who wears the clothes of patience,
As he swallows his anguish,

6. Who is delighted when hearing singing,
And dances when fortune smiles on monkeys.
