1. Alone I came to the shores at noon
And remembered times gone by

2. I entered the marshes alone at noon
With a heart immersed in estrangement

3. No blame rests on beauty for being aloof
It is beyond the reach of reproach

4. Each day we have a new love
For gazelles who in a glance give us a drink

5. So I died from grief instead of disdain
Many admirers and loved ones

6. I obeyed love and gained more of it
I wonder when will relief come

7. Oh my heart, be gentle with yourself, be gentle
For the bliss of love contains agony

8. Spending all of time singing
With lutes and cups beside
