The Sun | If the night comes to you, it departs | to the skies of the day
| For the earth and people flourish | there, and the trees
The Boy | O Sun, your benefit is protecting | and a state of peerless kind

The Mother Pigeon and Her Little Children
The mother pigeon once | told them: do not go out
She said to them in her nest | told them: do not go out
They laughed at her words | and did not heed the danger
They went out of their nest | and did not heed the danger
But a fox came to them | and ate the pigeons
He saw the place empty | and ate the pigeons
This is the reward for all those | who disobey their mother's order
They perished because they | disobey their mother's order

And whose heart embraces me | is it not my mother and my father
Who is the one who cares for me | in my food and my drink

O Lord, is there anyone other than them | for me like my mother and my father
