1. If you are my one, my only one
And if you plead, pleading will avail for me

2. If all the gold in the universe were mine
I'd still be poor, with no capacity to give

3. For that is my nature and my way
Generosity is not for me, nor in my acts

4. If I had hopes for all I could possess
My hands would not fail me in grasping them

5. I am from the best fathers of old
Who were never known for withholding and greed

6. I have inherited that spirit of nobility
From my ancestors and forebears of yore
