God Knows

God knows
I've never upset anyone
I pretend not to be there
if one time someone treats me unfairly
No words will help
and regret is no longer of use
Don't cross the line
when you're standing before The Eagle of Upper Egypt1
A thousand thanks to the circumstances
and the days that opened my eyes
 
The day I open up my records
I won't be lenient for anyone's sake
And whoever owes me something should bring it
And those who abandoned me in times of hardship
Should sit down and repay me
And I won't give away what's rightfully mine
 
Days come and go
And the one who wants tomorrow to come
Will find nothing but nothingness
And for the ones who forgot the wrong they've done me
I have a surprise and a present
And a favor is never forgotten
 
And to those who used to hug me
And kiss me on the cheek
This will be no longer, forget about it
It's a matter in the past
You see, my heart is full of grudges towards you
Its mistake is that it trusted you
Were you listening,
or should I say even more?
 
And to those who betrayed me once
I'll remember for them a thousand treacherous actions
And I challenge you to withstand them
Time and time you have received [my warnings]
And today you still don't believe me
Bring us people who can count
A thousand thanks to the circumstances
and the days that opened my eyes
 
I used to be keen on keeping you one day2
And now I've sold you out and lost in that trade
But I will start it all over again
Your actions are rather bizarre
And if a loss is coming from near
it's better than a profit coming from afar
You are always full of greed
You've taken the money of the entire world to yourselves
And tomorrow you'll depart and leave it
You abandon virtues
and you've suddenly forgotten traditions
And you even hurt people who are your own
And the ones who think they are hot stuff
I dare them to even say one word to me
And they will taste the bitterness of my words
 
You should be thanking me
And honoring me in the media
What can I say?
You lack in education3
I will just say this and nothing more
Forgiveness is only for considerate people
Don't be upset about how honest I am
If you've forgotten, I still remember
Everyday I write it down and study
And I don't give value to cheap people
 
A thousand thanks to the circumstances
and the days that opened my eyes
God knows

Let me know if you have any questions about my translation. Good luck.
