Translation

Do you see the world

Do you see the world
It’s not only a dwelling place
it’s awe-inspiring to behold
passing through entering it
Blind as we are sometimes,
having no care for it
wake up o human
this is where you live
it wants to be cared for properly
 
You place in your heart
your precious riches
your loved ones and your favorites
this world wishes to be treated the same way
it wants to be cared for wisely and properly
wake up o human
it’s your dwelling place
it wants to be maintained and to be utilized
 
Let me say in closing
treat your precious land wisely
for you get what you need from it
in abundance
were it to perish
you will follow
 
wake up o human
this is where you live
it wants maintained and to be utilized
and to be cared for properly
 
Lyrics: Siiva Fleischer
