1. The days brought me so many troubles,
Yet I forget them all except for the barriers.

2. Among them is one, if I could speak to her,
I would speak to her, or else my tears would speak.

3. A girl - if she won't be faithful to me,
My aching love has someone who will listen.

4. But my greatest agony is our parting
And keeping our love secret, though we're so close.
