My son has become a pledge for your fee.
My earnings are mortgaged tomorrow
He seeks to slip away, and he is penniless like me.
Seemingly bankrupt, they seek to be dismissed

If you release him, then you are generous folk.
If you let them go, you are gracious
Or if you detain him, shit cannot be held in.
Or if you hold them back, virtue cannot be contained
