Now is best, my son,
Best to be silent
To stay hidden silently
Already a sickle cuts the corn
By father's hand
Wisdom, humility
By father's hand
The coldness of the earth
Now is, my good wife,
Reason to be silent
To stay totally silent
Even though frost is reaping the corn
By father's hand
Wisdom, humility
By father's hand
The coldness of the earth
Who has the blight like a human's
The same field of the fathers is in front of the sons
By father's hand
Wisdom, humility
By father's hand
The coldness of the earth
