You are a braggart, though you are talented,
Show me the pictures that you took in hell
Where you spent your time in leisure and entertainment
While others live in misery and humiliation
Please do not show me photographs of our homeland
Which you think is on the way of modernization trend
Old cities, full of grapefruit flowers, were so beautiful
Now artificially pretty like the powdered faces of prostitues
Do not show me pictures of places where patrons enjoyed themselves
Where lustful acts were committed-beyond reform
Our country was no longer at war
Why nowadays it is so ravaged?
