Beautiful! Aaha oho... wow...
Oh mother, from the beatings, my cheek has turned black and blue!
Oh mother, from getting kicked, my whole body has gone numb!
Oh mother, all my flesh has been punctured and torn to shreds!
Beautiful!
Oh mother, they counted every single bone and broke it!
Only pounded tamarind gains true flavor, man!
Only a mind that endures gains real strength, man!
The one who suffers through agony can conquer even God, man!
Aahh... aahh... aahh...
Oh mother, it hurts! Oh mother, it hurts!
Oh mother, it hurts! Oh mother, it hurts... wow!
