Curse

Well.. whoever loves and leaves,

May God punish them !

And the walk of the bug,
The roar of the wind,

With big body, small head,
And in the middle so thin
Though it walks under the ground,
Still it keeps its word.

But we, baptized people,
We have strayed from the faith.
We have strayed from the faith.
 
Whoever loves and leaves,
May God punish them !
The creep of the snake
And the walk of the bug,
The roar of the wind,
The dust of the earth.
