1. O heart, tell me where did love find you
Or how did the gentle gazelle entice you

2. How did the wine of youth inebriate you to love
While you were a sprout and it was the planter

3. Indeed, those whom you were attached to
Departed, and how much did the resident wind scatter

4. It did not harm them to shed the sarongs, but rather
Their affections for us were tender and pliant

5. And they took care to slaughter the sacrifice, but rather
Their glances for us there were the slaughterers
