1. By my father, though great is the sacrifice, a young man
Whose flanks are gripped by anxiety,

2. I awoke him while the night was fraught
And its stars in the horizon intertwined,

3. He walked wearily so I said to him
"Your drowsiness has caused you to stumble."

4. You have settled for a state where
Your brother's honor remains violated.

5. Time hints at hardships and in its
Turbulence, days become tangled.

6. We are not of common stock, only a noble father.
Look to the ancestors, see how they strove

7. For glory, and what path did they take.
Why not take their guidance, for they

8. Left you their legacy, so tend what they left.
Seek their extent, they were men

9. Who lived by their repute and now are gone.
And if you fall short and cannot attain it,

10. Then frustration comes after seeking.
