1. Fill me with their love though it leads me astray,
O my guide, away from the path of righteousness.

2. Do not forbid me from them, for my youthfulness
Cannot obey one who prohibits me.

3. I loved them when my branch was fresh and flourishing
Until fate rebelled against the laws of the passionate.

4. Take back your despair, you are not the first commander
Whose stubborn love split his staff of command.
