Simple Translation
2678. He danced on the rich streets as drums played.
People saw him and felt happy.
“My friends, my brothers and others came to me and told me,
‘Come, let us go and see him, ’
and I went with them. It was my fate.
Suddenly my body grew pale
and the bangles on my hands became loose
and fell and I couldn’t find them.
Whatever others said to me,
I didn’t listen to them. 6
