Like man was saying, bruv
Many nights man prayed, bruv
Somewhere someone's gonna help me through this, man
Someone is gonna help bring me out of this shit, y'know?
Time, it took a while for man to recognise, boy, who you were gonna send
And you know what? Mans, I'm very proud
I'm very happy to see it's one of my own init, y'know?
And boy, I know none of this is easy, y'know?
I'm just proud to be, to be witnessing what's going on, man, y'know?
Look
I don't know where to start
But I just done my first psychodrama
And I hope the world hears my craft
I'm excited man, I pray you get to hear my craft
From our childhood, our mother didn't hear me laugh
I'm presenting you the future, I don't fear my past
I ain't got a tattoo anywhere near my arms
But best believe on my sleeves is where I wear my heart
Do you know how easy it is to be a sinner?
How many losses you need before you can be a winner?
Reason with a criminal that needs to eat a dinner
Is it survival of the fittest or is he a killer?
Losing dad was big, losing you was even bigger
Never had a father and I needed you to be the figure
We're forgetting that we had a brother that was even bigger
We were figures just tryna figure out who could be a figure
My brothers never spoke to each other when I was growing up
I remember tryna to build a bridge, I wasn't old enough
I pray I can hold the game for as long as you man can hold a grudge
Years went by I know it's fucked, I had to hold it up for mummy on my own
I know it's tough, I got the coldest blood
I remember when you got sentenced and I was throwing up
It's like they took a piece of my freedom when I had opened up
I just lost the only fucking person that I idolised
For my entire life I copied you to the finest line
Bro, I have a flame in my mind I'm trying to firefight
The pill I had to swallow wasn't bitter, it was cyanide
I learn over time, separation issues I describe
Are probably the reasons that I struggle feeling anything
I ain't got a vision of a marriage or a wedding ring
It's world domination in music or it ain't anything
I'm obsessed, focused on the objective
Tell a don yes, disagree, I object
Used to treat my women like an object
Girls want a monster come and see I'm the Loch Ness
Settle for a lot less
I just hope you're proud of me brother, it's been a long stretch
You're my hero and prior to this, I was living on the edge like a house on a cliff
But now I'm living in the present like my house was a gift
I'm going psycho, this scene's mine bro
Rappers wanna diss me, it's only online though
They put the mic and soft in the micro
Soft? Not I, bro
Swimming's the only time I can lie though
And lemme be genuine
Anybody rich my age is American, kicking ball or inherited
It only makes sense I'm independent knowing everything it happened how I'm telling it
You niggas aren't getting it
I'm coming from the struggle I survived and I'm still here
Used to bump trains that's two ways, I don't feel fear
I don't know trust, I know a tight bond will tear
Like a good wig, I can't tell you if it's real here
I'm from south London, brother, people getting killed here
You can make a mill' but you can lose it if you're still here
I lost over 30 grand to family, I'm still here
The word don't appeal to me, you steal from me I'm still here
Bro, I wasn't made for this
I don't get a break, but I'm aware of what breaking is
I wish you could take a hint as well as you can take the piss
I don't even speak to our brother, man, I just pray for him
It's never too late for him
Life is at it's craziness, walls started caving in
All the things I've seen would turn a theist, atheist
I didn't get 99 marks in English, I was faking it
I got 98 'cause I don't know what a vacation is
If you saw God what would you say to him?
If given the chance would you have taken it?
If you could rewind time what would you change in it?
Do you believe in what an angel is?
Furthermore, do you believe in what the devil is?
Do you believe that I can illustrate what Streatham is
Then break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives?
I'm grateful for my life because I aimed for this
Every bad moment every single fucking day of this
People looking at me, that's what fame can bring
But to understand the stairs, you take steps then retrace the shit
I tell my circle, the future's ours, we're shaping it
The past is just the reason I had came to this
I thank God for the pain because it made me this
I don't know if you remember those days, bruv
In them days, there was one night in particular, bruv
Came home and for some reason man put on a beat
We were just in the front room, freestyling, bar for bar
I don't even know how old you was these times, bruv
Probably about, hmm, ten? Ten, nine?
Yeah, man, if I think about it now, think about the transition
Them days there, you had no bars, but to be real, did anyone? You know what I mean
It's all context bruv, it was mad fun but
But to see the stuff you're doing today, proper man, you what I mean?
Thinking man's definitely blessed to see how the whole thing's come together
From time, I think it was 'JKYL+HYD' man, you played man that one there
Man was thinking, "Yo, this one here is a banger" bruv
I remember when I heard that one live on the airwaves for the first time bruv
We was pumping it
Man come to my door was like, "Rah man, that's a bit loud you know?"
I'm like, "Fam, that's my brudda"
He was like, "Yeah?"
And you know, on your birthday, man sent you a little card
And it begins
'Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him,
"The Lord has not chosen these."
So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?"
"There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he's tending the sheep."
Samuel said, "Send for him, we will not sit down to eat until he arrives."
So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy
With a fine appearance and handsome features
And then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him, he's the one."
Bro, you know what that means?
Say no more man
Like man was saying, bruv
Comme l'homme disait, frère
Many nights man prayed, bruv
De nombreuses nuits, l'homme a prié, frère
Somewhere someone's gonna help me through this, man
Quelque part, quelqu'un va m'aider à traverser ça, mec
Someone is gonna help bring me out of this shit, y'know?
Quelqu'un va m'aider à sortir de cette merde, tu sais ?
Time, it took a while for man to recognise, boy, who you were gonna send
Le temps, il a fallu un moment pour que l'homme reconnaisse, garçon, qui tu allais envoyer
And you know what? Mans, I'm very proud
Et tu sais quoi ? Les gars, je suis très fier
I'm very happy to see it's one of my own init, y'know?
Je suis très heureux de voir que c'est l'un des miens, tu sais ?
And boy, I know none of this is easy, y'know?
Et garçon, je sais que rien de tout cela n'est facile, tu sais ?
I'm just proud to be, to be witnessing what's going on, man, y'know?
Je suis juste fier d'être, d'être témoin de ce qui se passe, mec, tu sais ?
Look
Regarde

And I hope the world hears my craft

I ain't got a tattoo anywhere near my arms

Do you know how easy it is to be a sinner?
Sais-tu combien il est facile d'être un pécheur ?
How many losses you need before you can be a winner?
Combien de pertes as-tu besoin avant de pouvoir être un gagnant ?

Is it survival of the fittest or is he a killer?
Est-ce la survie du plus apte ou est-il un tueur ?
Losing dad was big, losing you was even bigger
Perdre papa a été dur, te perdre a été encore plus dur
Never had a father and I needed you to be the figure
Je n'ai jamais eu de père et j'avais besoin que tu sois cette figure
We're forgetting that we had a brother that was even bigger

We were figures just tryna figure out who could be a figure
Nous étions des figures essayant de comprendre qui pourrait être une figure
My brothers never spoke to each other when I was growing up
Mes frères ne se parlaient jamais quand je grandissais
I remember tryna to build a bridge, I wasn't old enough
Je me souviens avoir essayé de construire un pont, je n'étais pas assez vieux
I pray I can hold the game for as long as you man can hold a grudge
Je prie pour pouvoir tenir le jeu aussi longtemps que vous pouvez tenir une rancune
Years went by I know it's fucked, I had to hold it up for mummy on my own
Les années ont passé, je sais que c'est foutu, j'ai dû tenir le coup pour maman toute seule
I know it's tough, I got the coldest blood
Je sais que c'est dur, j'ai le sang le plus froid
I remember when you got sentenced and I was throwing up
Je me souviens quand tu as été condamné et que je vomissais
It's like they took a piece of my freedom when I had opened up
C'est comme s'ils avaient pris une partie de ma liberté quand je m'étais ouvert
I just lost the only fucking person that I idolised
J'ai juste perdu la seule putain de personne que j'idolâtrais

You're my hero and prior to this, I was living on the edge like a house on a cliff

But now I'm living in the present like my house was a gift

Nager est le seul moment où je peux mentir
And lemme be genuine

It only makes sense I'm independent knowing everything it happened how I'm telling it

You niggas aren't getting it
Vous ne comprenez pas, les gars
I'm coming from the struggle I survived and I'm still here
Je viens de la lutte, j'ai survécu et je suis toujours là

Je n'ai pas de pause, mais je suis conscient de ce qu'est une rupture
I wish you could take a hint as well as you can take the piss
J'aimerais que tu puisses prendre un indice aussi bien que tu peux prendre la piss

It's never too late for him
Il n'est jamais trop tard pour lui
Life is at it's craziness, walls started caving in
La vie est à son comble de folie, les murs ont commencé à s'effondrer
All the things I've seen would turn a theist, atheist
Toutes les choses que j'ai vues feraient d'un théiste un athée
I didn't get 99 marks in English, I was faking it
Je n'ai pas eu 99 en anglais, je faisais semblant

Every bad moment every single fucking day of this
Chaque mauvais moment, chaque putain de jour de cela
People looking at me, that's what fame can bring
Les gens me regardent, c'est ce que la célébrité peut apporter
But to understand the stairs, you take steps then retrace the shit
Mais pour comprendre les escaliers, tu prends des marches puis tu refais le chemin
I tell my circle, the future's ours, we're shaping it
Je dis à mon cercle, l'avenir est à nous, nous le façonnons
The past is just the reason I had came to this

It's all context bruv, it was mad fun but
C'est tout une question de contexte, frère, c'était super amusant mais
But to see the stuff you're doing today, proper man, you what I mean?
Mais voir ce que tu fais aujourd'hui, c'est du sérieux, tu vois ce que je veux dire ?
Thinking man's definitely blessed to see how the whole thing's come together
Je pense que je suis vraiment béni de voir comment tout s'est assemblé
From time, I think it was 'JKYL+HYD' man, you played man that one there
Depuis le temps, je pense que c'était 'JKYL+HYD' mec, tu m'as fait écouter celui-là
Man was thinking, "Yo, this one here is a banger" bruv
Je pensais, "Yo, celui-là est un banger" frère

So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?"
Alors il demanda à Jesse, "Est-ce là tous tes fils ?"
"There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he's tending the sheep."
"Il reste le plus jeune," répondit Jesse, "mais il garde les moutons."
Samuel said, "Send for him, we will not sit down to eat until he arrives."
Samuel dit, "Envoie le chercher, nous ne nous assoirons pas pour manger tant qu'il n'est pas arrivé."

Alors il l'envoya chercher et le fit venir. Il était roux
With a fine appearance and handsome features

I tell my circle, the future's ours, we're shaping it
Eu digo ao meu círculo, o futuro é nosso, estamos moldando-o
The past is just the reason I had came to this
O passado é apenas a razão pela qual eu vim para isso
I thank God for the pain because it made me this
Agradeço a Deus pela dor porque ela me fez assim
I don't know if you remember those days, bruv
Não sei se você se lembra daqueles dias, mano
In them days, there was one night in particular, bruv
Naqueles dias, houve uma noite em particular, mano
Came home and for some reason man put on a beat
Cheguei em casa e por algum motivo coloquei uma batida
We were just in the front room, freestyling, bar for bar
Estávamos apenas na sala de estar, improvisando, verso por verso
I don't even know how old you was these times, bruv
Eu nem sei quantos anos você tinha naquela época, mano
Probably about, hmm, ten? Ten, nine?
Provavelmente cerca de, hmm, dez? Dez, nove?
Yeah, man, if I think about it now, think about the transition
Sim, mano, se eu pensar sobre isso agora, pensar sobre a transição
Them days there, you had no bars, but to be real, did anyone? You know what I mean
Naqueles dias, você não tinha versos, mas para ser real, alguém tinha? Você sabe o que eu quero dizer
It's all context bruv, it was mad fun but
É tudo contexto mano, era muito divertido mas
But to see the stuff you're doing today, proper man, you what I mean?
Mas ver as coisas que você está fazendo hoje, de verdade mano, você sabe o que eu quero dizer?
Thinking man's definitely blessed to see how the whole thing's come together
Pensando que o homem é definitivamente abençoado por ver como tudo se juntou
From time, I think it was 'JKYL+HYD' man, you played man that one there
Desde o tempo, acho que foi 'JKYL+HYD' mano, você tocou aquela para mim
Man was thinking, "Yo, this one here is a banger" bruv
O homem estava pensando, "Yo, essa aqui é um sucesso" mano
I remember when I heard that one live on the airwaves for the first time bruv
Lembro quando ouvi aquela ao vivo nas ondas do rádio pela primeira vez mano
We was pumping it
Estávamos bombando
Man come to my door was like, "Rah man, that's a bit loud you know?"
O homem veio à minha porta e disse: "Rah mano, isso está um pouco alto, sabe?"
I'm like, "Fam, that's my brudda"
Eu disse: "Fam, esse é meu mano"
He was like, "Yeah?"
Ele disse: "É?"
And you know, on your birthday, man sent you a little card
E você sabe, no seu aniversário, o homem te mandou um cartãozinho
And it begins
E começa
'Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him,
'Jessé fez passar sete de seus filhos diante de Samuel, mas Samuel lhe disse,
"The Lord has not chosen these."
"O Senhor não escolheu estes."
So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?"
Então ele perguntou a Jessé, "Estes são todos os filhos que você tem?"
"There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he's tending the sheep."
"Ainda há o mais novo", respondeu Jessé, "mas ele está cuidando das ovelhas."
Samuel said, "Send for him, we will not sit down to eat until he arrives."
Samuel disse: "Mande buscá-lo, não nos sentaremos para comer até que ele chegue."
So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy
Então ele mandou e o trouxe. Ele era ruivo
With a fine appearance and handsome features
Com uma bela aparência e belos traços
And then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him, he's the one."
E então o Senhor disse: "Levante-se e unja-o, ele é o escolhido."
Bro, you know what that means?
Mano, você sabe o que isso significa?
Say no more man
Diga não mais, mano
Like man was saying, bruv
Como decía el hombre, hermano
Many nights man prayed, bruv
Muchas noches el hombre rezaba, hermano
Somewhere someone's gonna help me through this, man
En algún lugar alguien me va a ayudar a superar esto, hombre
Someone is gonna help bring me out of this shit, y'know?
Alguien va a ayudarme a salir de esta mierda, ¿sabes?
Time, it took a while for man to recognise, boy, who you were gonna send
Tiempo, tardó un rato para que el hombre reconociera, chico, a quién ibas a enviar
And you know what? Mans, I'm very proud
¿Y sabes qué? Hombre, estoy muy orgulloso
I'm very happy to see it's one of my own init, y'know?
Estoy muy feliz de ver que es uno de los míos, ¿sabes?
And boy, I know none of this is easy, y'know?
Y chico, sé que nada de esto es fácil, ¿sabes?
I'm just proud to be, to be witnessing what's going on, man, y'know?
Estoy orgulloso de ser, de ser testigo de lo que está pasando, hombre, ¿sabes?
Look
Mira
I don't know where to start
No sé por dónde empezar
But I just done my first psychodrama
Pero acabo de hacer mi primer psicodrama
And I hope the world hears my craft
Y espero que el mundo escuche mi arte
I'm excited man, I pray you get to hear my craft
Estoy emocionado, hombre, rezo para que puedas escuchar mi arte
From our childhood, our mother didn't hear me laugh
Desde nuestra infancia, nuestra madre no me escuchó reír
I'm presenting you the future, I don't fear my past
Te presento el futuro, no temo a mi pasado
I ain't got a tattoo anywhere near my arms
No tengo un tatuaje en ninguna parte cerca de mis brazos
But best believe on my sleeves is where I wear my heart
Pero ten por seguro que en mis mangas es donde llevo mi corazón
Do you know how easy it is to be a sinner?
¿Sabes lo fácil que es ser un pecador?
How many losses you need before you can be a winner?
¿Cuántas pérdidas necesitas antes de poder ser un ganador?
Reason with a criminal that needs to eat a dinner
Razona con un criminal que necesita comer una cena
Is it survival of the fittest or is he a killer?
¿Es la supervivencia del más apto o es un asesino?
Losing dad was big, losing you was even bigger
Perder a papá fue grande, perderte a ti fue aún mayor
Never had a father and I needed you to be the figure
Nunca tuve un padre y necesitaba que tú fueras la figura
We're forgetting that we had a brother that was even bigger
Nos estamos olvidando de que teníamos un hermano que era aún mayor
We were figures just tryna figure out who could be a figure
Éramos figuras solo tratando de averiguar quién podría ser una figura
My brothers never spoke to each other when I was growing up
Mis hermanos nunca se hablaron entre sí cuando yo estaba creciendo
I remember tryna to build a bridge, I wasn't old enough
Recuerdo intentando construir un puente, no era lo suficientemente mayor
I pray I can hold the game for as long as you man can hold a grudge
Rezo para poder sostener el juego tanto como ustedes pueden guardar un rencor
Years went by I know it's fucked, I had to hold it up for mummy on my own
Pasaron los años, sé que está jodido, tuve que sostenerlo por mi madre sola
I know it's tough, I got the coldest blood
Sé que es duro, tengo la sangre más fría
I remember when you got sentenced and I was throwing up
Recuerdo cuando te condenaron y yo estaba vomitando
It's like they took a piece of my freedom when I had opened up
Es como si hubieran quitado un pedazo de mi libertad cuando me había abierto
I just lost the only fucking person that I idolised
Acabo de perder a la única maldita persona que idolatraba
For my entire life I copied you to the finest line
Durante toda mi vida te copié hasta la línea más fina
Bro, I have a flame in my mind I'm trying to firefight
Hermano, tengo una llama en mi mente que estoy tratando de apagar
The pill I had to swallow wasn't bitter, it was cyanide
La píldora que tuve que tragar no era amarga, era cianuro
I learn over time, separation issues I describe
Aprendo con el tiempo, los problemas de separación que describo
Are probably the reasons that I struggle feeling anything
Probablemente son las razones por las que lucho por sentir algo
I ain't got a vision of a marriage or a wedding ring
No tengo una visión de un matrimonio o un anillo de bodas
It's world domination in music or it ain't anything
Es la dominación mundial en la música o no es nada
I'm obsessed, focused on the objective
Estoy obsesionado, enfocado en el objetivo
Tell a don yes, disagree, I object
Dile a un don sí, discrepo, me opongo
Used to treat my women like an object
Solía tratar a mis mujeres como un objeto
Girls want a monster come and see I'm the Loch Ness
Las chicas quieren un monstruo, ven y veo que soy el monstruo del lago Ness
Settle for a lot less
Me conformo con mucho menos
I just hope you're proud of me brother, it's been a long stretch
Solo espero que estés orgulloso de mí, hermano, ha sido un largo camino
You're my hero and prior to this, I was living on the edge like a house on a cliff
Eres mi héroe y antes de esto, estaba viviendo al límite como una casa en un acantilado
But now I'm living in the present like my house was a gift
Pero ahora estoy viviendo en el presente como si mi casa fuera un regalo
I'm going psycho, this scene's mine bro
Me estoy volviendo loco, esta escena es mía, hermano
Rappers wanna diss me, it's only online though
Los raperos quieren insultarme, pero solo en línea
They put the mic and soft in the micro
Ponen el micrófono y suave en el micro
Soft? Not I, bro
¿Suave? No yo, hermano
Swimming's the only time I can lie though
Nadar es el único momento en que puedo mentir
And lemme be genuine
Y déjame ser genuino
Anybody rich my age is American, kicking ball or inherited
Cualquier persona rica de mi edad es americana, juega al fútbol o heredó
It only makes sense I'm independent knowing everything it happened how I'm telling it
Solo tiene sentido que sea independiente sabiendo todo lo que pasó como lo estoy contando
You niggas aren't getting it
Ustedes no lo entienden
I'm coming from the struggle I survived and I'm still here
Vengo de la lucha, sobreviví y todavía estoy aquí
Used to bump trains that's two ways, I don't feel fear
Solía saltar trenes de dos maneras, no siento miedo
I don't know trust, I know a tight bond will tear
No conozco la confianza, sé que un vínculo fuerte se romperá
Like a good wig, I can't tell you if it's real here
Como una buena peluca, no puedo decirte si es real aquí
I'm from south London, brother, people getting killed here
Soy del sur de Londres, hermano, la gente está siendo asesinada aquí
You can make a mill' but you can lose it if you're still here
Puedes hacer un millón, pero puedes perderlo si todavía estás aquí
I lost over 30 grand to family, I'm still here
Perdí más de 30 mil a la familia, todavía estoy aquí
The word don't appeal to me, you steal from me I'm still here
La palabra no me atrae, me robas y todavía estoy aquí
Bro, I wasn't made for this
Hermano, no fui hecho para esto
I don't get a break, but I'm aware of what breaking is
No tengo un descanso, pero soy consciente de lo que es romperse
I wish you could take a hint as well as you can take the piss
Ojalá pudieras captar una indirecta tan bien como puedes tomar el pelo
I don't even speak to our brother, man, I just pray for him
Ni siquiera hablo con nuestro hermano, hombre, solo rezo por él
It's never too late for him
Nunca es demasiado tarde para él
Life is at it's craziness, walls started caving in
La vida está en su punto más loco, las paredes empezaron a derrumbarse
All the things I've seen would turn a theist, atheist
Todas las cosas que he visto convertirían a un teísta en ateo
I didn't get 99 marks in English, I was faking it
No obtuve 99 marcas en inglés, estaba fingiendo
I got 98 'cause I don't know what a vacation is
Obtuve 98 porque no sé qué es unas vacaciones
If you saw God what would you say to him?
Si vieras a Dios, ¿qué le dirías?
If given the chance would you have taken it?
Si tuvieras la oportunidad, ¿la habrías tomado?
If you could rewind time what would you change in it?
Si pudieras retroceder en el tiempo, ¿qué cambiarías en él?
Do you believe in what an angel is?
¿Crees en lo que es un ángel?
Furthermore, do you believe in what the devil is?
Además, ¿crees en lo que es el diablo?
Do you believe that I can illustrate what Streatham is
¿Crees que puedo ilustrar lo que es Streatham
Then break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives?
Luego romper la cuarta pared y basar a Lesley en mis parientes?
I'm grateful for my life because I aimed for this
Estoy agradecido por mi vida porque apunté a esto
Every bad moment every single fucking day of this
Cada mal momento, cada maldito día de esto
People looking at me, that's what fame can bring
La gente me mira, eso es lo que puede traer la fama
But to understand the stairs, you take steps then retrace the shit
Pero para entender las escaleras, das pasos y luego repasas la mierda
I tell my circle, the future's ours, we're shaping it
Le digo a mi círculo, el futuro es nuestro, lo estamos moldeando
The past is just the reason I had came to this

Sí, hombre, si lo pienso ahora, pienso en la transición
Them days there, you had no bars, but to be real, did anyone? You know what I mean
En aquellos días, no tenías versos, pero para ser real, ¿alguien los tenía? Ya sabes a lo que me refiero
It's all context bruv, it was mad fun but
Es todo contexto, hermano, era muy divertido pero
But to see the stuff you're doing today, proper man, you what I mean?
Pero ver lo que estás haciendo hoy, de verdad, ¿sabes a lo que me refiero?
Thinking man's definitely blessed to see how the whole thing's come together
Pienso que definitivamente estoy bendecido de ver cómo todo se ha unido
From time, I think it was 'JKYL+HYD' man, you played man that one there
Desde el tiempo, creo que fue 'JKYL+HYD' hombre, me pusiste esa
Man was thinking, "Yo, this one here is a banger" bruv
Estaba pensando, "Oye, esta es una bomba" hermano

So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy
Así que lo mandó a buscar y lo trajeron. Era rubio
With a fine appearance and handsome features
Con una buena apariencia y guapo
And then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him, he's the one."

Them days there, you had no bars, but to be real, did anyone? You know what I mean
In diesen Tagen hattest du keine Bars, aber um ehrlich zu sein, hatte das jemand? Du weißt, was ich meine
It's all context bruv, it was mad fun but
Es ist alles Kontext, Bruder, es war verrückt Spaß, aber
But to see the stuff you're doing today, proper man, you what I mean?
Aber zu sehen, was du heute machst, echter Mann, weißt du, was ich meine?
Thinking man's definitely blessed to see how the whole thing's come together
Ich denke, Mann ist definitiv gesegnet zu sehen, wie das Ganze zusammengekommen ist
From time, I think it was 'JKYL+HYD' man, you played man that one there
Von der Zeit an, ich denke, es war 'JKYL+HYD' Mann, du hast mir den da vorgespielt

„Der Herr hat diese nicht erwählt.“
So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?"
Also fragte er Jesse, „Sind das alle Söhne, die du hast?“
"There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he's tending the sheep."
„Es gibt noch den jüngsten“, antwortete Jesse, „aber er hütet die Schafe.“
Samuel said, "Send for him, we will not sit down to eat until he arrives."
Samuel sagte, „Schickt nach ihm, wir werden uns nicht zum Essen hinsetzen, bis er kommt.“
