Those who can't love the families 
that are the foundation of the nation
من لا يمكنهم حُب العائلة
أساس أيّ بلد
Wer seine Familie nicht lieben kann,
die das Fundament für jedes Land bilden,
Si no pueden amar a sus familias,
la base de una nación,
Si no podéis amar a la familia,
la base de una nación,
Les gens qui ne peuvent
aimer leur famille
Chi non riesce ad amare le famiglie 
che sono le fondamenta della nazione,
Aqueles que não conseguem amar
as famílias que são a base da nação
Тот, кто не любит семью, 
основу государства,
