| Minister of war, | |
| We are the claws and teeth of the king. | |
| Why have you rolled us into this sorrow, | |
| So that we have no abiding place? | |
| Minister of war, | |
| We are the taloned soldiers of the king. | |
| Why have you rolled us into this sorrow, | |
| So that there is no end [of our toils]? | |
| Minister of war, | |
| You have indeed acted without discrimination. | |
| Why have you rolled us into this sorrow, | |
| So that our mothers have to do all the labour of cooking? |
