1. My heart swooned, O dawn,
And you left me with a spinning head.

2. If I follow you, my steps will be behind
My heart that cannot be controlled.

3. Has it been said that people lived without
Hearts in their chests?

4. You made my mind fly away to get
My heart back, O fleeting one.

5. So it landed next to you, weak,
Sweetly cooled in the heat.

6. It then saw in your water the image
Of a heart shackled like prey.

7. So tomorrow, like a shadow's kidnapper,
And the water a mirror of birds,

8. Distracted by the vastness of passion,
Miserable from a roaming intimacy,

9. It lives without catching any prey,
Nor repenting of the seas.
