The Struggle of Small Traders

Unafraid of fatigue, undeterred by despair

Striving to earn a livelihood for her kin

Oh, the small traders

They strive from noon till late at night

Under the hot sun to the stormy rain

To get a few coins for a bite of rice

Oh, how extraordinary their struggles are

The struggle of the humble small traders

Striving with their bare hands and weary feet

Waiting for small, uncertain profits

But they always strive, tirelessly and hopefully
