I want to be a soldier like that.
lest the landlord serve,
and plantations not to guard,
and from people in the fields of reeds
do not tear off the skin with whips,
and not to be cruel to the poor,
as a slave trader!
Faithful to the freedom of one,
poor servant and brother, -
that's how I want to be a soldier!
