1. Oh who will give me your company, my brother
And who will I tell my troubles to

2. The trials of fate obscured you after being spread
That is how its trials obscure and fold

3. If death had taken you from me
I would have complained to you of what it did to me

4. I cried for you my brother with tears from my eyes
But crying did not avail you anything

5. And during your life you gave me advice
But today you advise me more than when alive
