1. O you who is delighted whenever
It is said to him that so-and-so is ill

2. Then when it is said to him that he
Has recovered, he returns like the healthy one

3. O you whose laughter makes him weep for himself
And whose mention of the old tales is endless

4. You are diseased, so do me a favor and
Speak straightforwardly and clearly

5. My father is like Abraham in his sacrifice
And they gave him good news of a forbearing boy

6. And that is me, so understand, and it is inevitable
That I will be ransomed, and far be it from you, with a great ram.
