Thank God again before you sleep,
For being at home at the table,
For there being food on the table,
And a place for you to sit,
And that you have a friend,
That your husband is not unfaithful,
And in his absence
Thank for the light and the warmth.

You do not see light without eyes,
Without ears you will not hear people,
Eyes in place, hearing hears,
Thank sincerely that you did not go deaf.
And thank also two legs,
That walk everywhere — here and there,
There are people who live without them,
Why then, lucky one, have you gone quiet?

I agree with you about the mess,
And that far from everything is right,
But think well among hardships,
Value what you already have here too.
And before you go to sleep,
Lay yourself in the little bed,
Constantly, friend, remember —
Do not lie down without thanks to God.
