1. O beautiful girl
And virtuous pearl

2. Your drowsiness
And your charming cheek

3. Are but remnants of your mother
With her gentle folds

4. You resembled her in grace
And her weary eyelid

5. And her heavy hip
And slender waist

6. So seek her love
And entrust her with care

7. For time has passed
And age has worn on her

8. O flower of the eye
And melody of the ear

9. And girl of the gaze
And young woman of discourse

10. Let not passion touch you
For it is but darkness
