1. For there was a day when I kissed its rose,
And the earth had woven its gardens with coldness.

2. And she looked after it until her youth crowned its head,
With the spring's blossoms of pearls in her necklace.

3. And it pleases minds when she pulls,
And its rod tells of its straightness.

4. That exhilarated one is as if
The violet was planted in the rose's path.

5. And the girl's hand is reddened, as if
She dipped her fingers' tips in his cheek.

6. She sang, and made the boy ecstatic with her chant,
And with her chant, the boy toyed with his tail.

7. Gazing at each other, the longing in their eyes,
Tells of her passion and of his.

8. And he started kissing her neck, so she
Rebuked him and exaggerated in rejecting him.

9. She slapped his cheeks without any crime from him,
So its tattoo remained on his cheek.

10. Thus the beginning of his cheek turned green from her palm,
And the inside of her palm turned red from his cheek.
