Man born of woman is short lived and filled with trouble He comes up like a blossom and withers away He flees like a shadow and disappears Decrees fixed with eyes upon them What contaminations come from the untainted The limits are set I cannot go beyond them If my days are decided My months are in your hand Can you turn away the beaming eyes that shine upon me If this is my lot Let me finish my work Let me complete my day Even a tree is more advantageous If it’s cut down it will sprout again Its twigs will continue to grow “If its roots grows old in the ground And its stump dies in the soil At the scent of water it will sprout It will produce branches like a new plant But when my day comes and I lie powerless Where am I” Water disappears from the sea
And a river drains away and dries up Man also lies down and does not get up Until the universe crumbles They will not wake d**h conceal me Hide my face until this anger pa**es away Set a limit and remember me If I die can I live again I’m forced to wait in this duty until I’m alleviated The growth of this tree will sprout Reaching out to me and i will answer “Until then my every step is counted My every thought is weighed out Sealed up in this endless abyss of memories As a mountain falls and crumbles away And a rock is dislodged from its place As water wears away stones And its waves tears at the soil My hope is crushed, I’m overpowered until i die In this flesh I feel only pain I mourn constantly while I’m alive”
