1. Do not yearn for the intimacy of a heart
That has no passion for my love.

2. Your heart is empty while I am preoccupied,
And preoccupation is not the same as solitude.

3. Oh, my father, who has slumbered from this whispering,
And whose eyes have no affection in them.

4. If someday you come near to my intimacy,
How excellent that approaching would be!

5. Or if you show affection after long estrangement,
Perhaps my affection will jump up again.
