Lost in your frivolity

indulging in carelessly idle games

while you are engaged in vain play

Just amusing yourselves

Haughtily, you hold your heads high

Wasting your time in useless things

Indulging in pleasantries

treating life as a game?

And you are astonished singing/arrogant

Wasting your time in vanities

And you are lost in play

While you make merry

Whilst you are busy playing a game (of negligence)

And you remain proudly heedless and haughty

Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing, etc.)

while you make merry

spending your time in idle diversions

and ye divert yourselves the while

And that ye are triflers

Making merry still
