Translation
I cry with you – MT Lekitlane
1. In childhood you have made me a darling, beloved;
2. When I was young I was a little star next to the moon.
3. So I will weep bitterly, rest;
4. My friends are playing with me.
5. He rode the chariots and prepared for battle,
6. When you come out, you are suffocated and panting;
7. You enter the homes of torturers sweating.
8. You lied to people who expected you.
9. In my name you quarreled with people, differed;
10. In the marriages that I made, you stood up for me,
11. I did not taste the stick, I did not know it;
12. Today I weep with you, my beloved,
13. Among men I am of the most delicate bones,
14. I am deceived even by insignificant trifles.
