Do you not see the wretched, needy man?

He stands at the door with a plaintive cry,
Who stands at the door with yearning for it
Standing at the door, crying out in longing,

Complaining to us, hungry and sorrowful.
Complaining to us, a hungry sorrowful one
Complaining to us, famished and sorrowful?

Everyone is hostage to their own earning
For every soul is held in pledge for what it has earned.
