When thou art hurt
And thou feel not thy pulse
Just because thou art very hot
Remember thou this word
...
On the other side of the river
The struggle is over
The terrifying torrent facing the sailor
The blistering wind blowing the ship
...
Give Afore
When thou art hurt
And thou feel not thy pulse
Just because thou art very hot
Remember thou this word
Spoken by the holy lord
That it is best to give afore
Before or after thou art hurt
This is a better proof that thou art up,
Above the offender and the feelings of hurt.
Listen son; he says again
You don't have to fight to be a man
Let go of the revenge your heart yearns
And a great respect will you earn
Because I have never seen a man
Who gets ahead by getting even.
