1. How much in the path of wishes
My life with speeches vanishes

2. And the soul aspires for glory
Despite what has pained me

3. And a bird cannot fly without
Feathers enabling its flight

4. And life between moments
Passed and between seconds

5. The soul in captivity of sorrow
And tears constantly flowing

6. So if you knew my state
My plight would make you weep

7. And death is better than a life
Of despair and sorrows

8. How much my diligent efforts refused
A deal of loss

9. Or everyone with a proud soul
Defeated by my time

10. I had security before this
And now I have no wishes

11. I've come to hate even my life
And people from what pained me

12. The soul turns accordingly
To the turns of time
