Roda [English translation]

My people, pay attention

In the circle that I have made for you

I want to demonstrate for all who come

Those things that the people say

I can speak, for I know

I take the others for myself

When I eat lunch, I do not dine

And when I sing I sing this way

Now I will entertain

Now I will begin

I want to see who will leave

I want to see who will stay

Those who don't want to hear me

Aren't obligated to listen to me

Those in the world who have money

Want to gain more, the more they have

And the people who have nothing

Keep faring worse

Dear young man, have shame

Cease with the offense

Leave the poor man's money

And rob from other robber

Now I will entertain

Now I will proceed

I want to see who will stay

I want to see who will leave

Those who don't want to hear me

Aren't obligated to listen to me

If the rich man and the poor man die

Bury the rich man with me

I want to see who will separate

The dust of the rich man from mine

If there underneath there is equality

Then there should be equality up here

He who wants to be more than he is

Shall suffer one day

Now I will entertain

Now I will proceed

I want to see who will stay

I want to see who will leave

Those who don't want to hear me

Aren't obligated to listen to me

Dear young man, be careful

With your profiteering

If I don't give you as a present

Your hole in the ground

I want to see who will say

I want to see who will lie

I want to see who will deny

What I have said here

Now I will entertain

Now I will finish

I want to see who will leave

I want to see who will stay

Those who don't want to hear me

Aren't obligated to listen to me

Now I will finish

Now I will discourse

He who knows everything and says it soon

Remains with nothing to say

I want to see who will return

I want to see who will flee

I want to see who will stay

I want to see who will betray

That is why I close this circle

Which I have made

The circle which is of the people

Where what is spoken is spoken
