1. You broke your promise, O Afal
Though being faithful is more beautiful

2. Don't think it's an easy slip
Not every sin, I carry its weight

3. I swear you by your manners
Far be it from you to do what he does

4. I swear, no one else hears it
And he is then the despised and neglected

5. Woe to him, if he sings standing, I weep from
The memory of a beloved whose home is demolished

6. A crime from him, and a wound that does not heal
On the affection of loved ones

7. This is a reproach, stick to its rhyme
Listen to what I do
