Those who hate those they can't defeat
 and wish they would go away are bad people.
من يكرهون من لا يمكنهم هزيمتهم
ويتمنّون زوالهم هم أشخاص سيّئون
Wer andere hasst, sie nicht bezwingen kann
und ihnen den Tod wünscht, ist böse.
Quienes odian a los que no pueden vencer
y desean que desaparezcan son malvados.
Quienes odian a los que no pueden vencer
y desean que desaparezcan son malvados.
Seules les mauvaises personnes
haïssent
Quelli che odiano chi non possono sconfiggere
e desiderano solo che muoiano, sono persone cattive.
Aqueles que odeiam aqueles que não conseguem
derrotar ou querem que eles sumam são más pessoas.
Люди, которые ненавидят тех, кого не могут 
победить, и желают им смерти, — плохие.
