The child has fallen asleep, the neighbourhood has been allayed, (but) the Bargis have come to our land. The nightingales have eaten all the paddies; (alas,) how can we pay our taxes (now)? No paddies, no betels, (then) in what way can we give our taxes? (O tax collectors,) please be patient for a few more days, (since) we have planted garlic (cloves).
