1. The vicissitudes of this time have opposed me,
Oh my people, and caused me great humiliation.

2. Why are they always bent on killing me?
Have they seen me as an expert spearman?

3. Ward them off from me, O protector, for my body
Cannot withstand the vicissitudes of time.

4. I and my grandfather cannot face them,
For in their war my stallion is like a mosquito.

5. So be gentle with my condition and show compassion,
And confront them with sword and spear.

6. Their fire will be extinguished by your flood of determination,
Stronger than the glance that seduces the lovesick.

7. Beat the drums of joy in the throne room
When you come seeking it in the festival.

8. O my prince, you remain the best supporter
For one broken by events and suffering.

9. When you deliberately drew away from him,
Each intimate turned distant and estranged.

10. Does he have any intercessor with you
Other than your lofty and eminent position?

11. You do not care if you pardon a people
Who unleashed in harm the horses of gambling.

12. O you whose protection has endowed you with forbearance,
Live happily in honor and safety!
