1. Who has endured throughout time
And which life has not wavered?

2. The young man's promises failed
His right hand feared and farmed

3. And his works were ruined
Yet he neither wept nor cared

4. He toys with foolishness
And man was not created vainly

5. Oh inhabitant of the palace, do you not
Grieve for the ruin of ancestry?

6. How could you be fooled when decay
Envelops the old as they crumble?
