When my body became bent with old age,
When my body bends over from old age
And the hair that had been black turned white,
And what was black of my hair turns white

I began to walk as though I were half a circle
I walk as if I'm half a circle
Walking on the earth, or a bow without a string.
Moving on the ground or a bow without a string
