Let him be hooked on his way ша hurry! |?

I begin to get a violent desire to sing. 
am very despondent, as so often, 
I begin to get a violent desire for a drum 
contest. 
Because one feels the want of him, |?! 
My earlier opponent. 
Because he does not come here once in 
a while, 
Because he is very despondent, I think, 
My great opponent, 
Not a single time did he come here for a 
drum contest! | 
What in the world —he ought to come, 
He is a little slow to understand!
