O my friend, rise; let us behold the water, for it
My friend, let's look at the water, for it
was struck by the evil eye when it surged and grew arrogant.
Has been struck by an eye as it flooded with pride

It fell in drops when it flowed within its cloud,
It drips because it flowed through its clouds
And in the flowing stream it came to walk, broken.
And it became shackled, walking broken
