1. Not asleep in the valleys
Settled in tranquility

2. Revealing the likes of miserable spinsters
Amongst maidens and succor

3. Or like anklets on legs
Shackled by debts

4. They are the delightful, gentle ones
In the plains, grieved

5. Or like amulets for the elite
Yet accused of madness

6. The inebriated, the twisting locks and worries
Overpowered, and the mill of raging war

7. Has never turned for them
Enshroud them in their burial sheets

8. Unto death, not for the undertaker
It comes with drowning, no,

9. It fattens in the narrowness of prisons
The aromatic, the delightful bellies

10. Arranged with adornment in cups like guarded pearls
The upright, the ranks

11. Stood like steeds in a line
They have been characterized by refinements and traits

12. Of many kinds
Hear my melancholic ode

13. For speech is the brother of agony
