1. You turned away so I could not see you, yet
I only see your face like the sun or the rising moon

2. That rejection was only for my eyes
And my heart without protection from your love

3. Your abandonment of me is only for a reason
Yet it came from you without excuse

4. My days where I cannot find you in them
And uncover from you the face of beauty that is my lifetime

5. And if I cannot find forgiveness from you then give me
A share of torment and fortune of patience

6. So do not be tempted by me for I
Am tempted by eyelids filled with magic

7. He does wrong without intending harm
And troubles me with longing for him without knowing

8. And it was easy for him though love is not with him
Tears for one distant or coldness that flows

9. Oh, if only the one who heals ardour had not made me love
And the one who brought no benefit had brought no harm
