I have heard all, the good and the bad, borne insult's sting,
Lost in learning, a fool, the naive heart's swing.
Lalluram speaks truth, my friends, take no offense I pray,
Lalluram speaks truth, my friends, take no offense today,
My friends, take no offense, a strange age has come to stay,
The world is upside down, my friends, take no offense, they say,
The world is upside down, Lalluram speaks truth, this is the way.

The fair one cuts her locks, a thief's braid now takes hold,
The sister is a brother, or brother, sister bold.
They trade and change, these folk, the women and the men,
They trade and change, the women and the men.
Tulsidas foretold this age, this cycle's bitter end,
Karma's flame now burns in vain, my friends, take no offense, again,
Lalluram speaks truth, my friends, take no offense again.

Sweet milk forsaken, bitter waters they now drink,
No water of the soul remains, the spirit starts to sink.
Young women puff and blow, a sight that fills with dread,
Young women puff and blow, a sight that fills with dread.
These Indians, what have they become, the ancient ways all dead?
God gives to all, I say, my friends, take no offense instead,
Lalluram speaks truth, my friends, take no offense instead.

Cities yellowed, green in every village now appears,
True beauty painted on, rouge hides all the hidden fears.
No teeth to chew, within, a hollow, gaping space,
No teeth to chew, within, a hollow, gaping space,
The mother dances, the doctor's step, a clown's embrace,
The old mare's reins are red, my friends, take no offense, this pace,
The old mare's reins are red, my friends, take no offense, this space.

A crime it is, the woman's foot beyond the door,
A crime it is, the woman's foot beyond the door,
Sati now at night, the man, love's eager roar,
The modest one, unveils the body, and the core,
Who will shield the shame, the blind crow's chore?
Shame, my brothers, I have seen, my friends, take no offense, more,
These fields are better, my friends, take no offense, explore,
My friends, take no offense, know yourselves, and more,
My friends, take no offense, know yourselves, explore.
Lalluram speaks truth, my friends, take no offense, before,
Lalluram speaks truth, my friends, take no offense, before.
