1. We saw of beauty what enraptured us,
And the embers of passion set us aflame.

2. O peddler of love, have mercy on us,
And mercy on these fluttering eyelids.

3. We guard our love and tend to it,
Protecting it from those who do not cherish passion.

4. Yet we pine for one we were loyal to,
Who now openly betrays my heart.
