O my falcon, for whom they bid ever higher,

I hope his beauty will be enhanced by courage.
Seeking to increase its beauty through bravery.

I took him, and I have no regrets, O falconers.

I held it in my palm though it was very weak,
For me, he has become a kind of immunity to worry.
It became for me like a sanctuary the next day.

Who can guarantee life, even for a moment?
