1. He whom God has graced and raised his status high
Should not let his whims make him unjust or deny

2. Hear me, oh respected master, hear my advice
Do not frown when asked for good, from evil thoughts rise

3. Listen to me for God, I'm truth's staunchest voice
Do not waste the blessings once duties you have done

4. Miss not in your life the greatest joys
Man prospers only through pain and cries

5. Do not forget the kindness of the kind, wise one
You're in a garden of life, so pick the fruits you want

6. Time has made you the best of all rulers and patrons
In springtime of youth and nature's awakening seasons

7. Stroll in pleasure gardens smelling their flowers and reasons
Sip from the cup of life from dawn's first light

8. For that soul is worthy of joy's days and nights
May God let you enjoy life until death comes at last

9. And protect you from your sons' and daughters' contrast
In ease and disease, in gifts that come and go fast

10. And clothe the world in beauty until the days that have passed
