1. I embraced her in virgin modesty
And a kiss that was my only gain

2. The innocent Nile disturbed
By the stillness of a slumbering love, and I fell silent

3. Chastity cloaks her in crimson
She swoons onto her lips, and I understand

4. I sip the color with yearning
It excites me as I excite myself

5. And so the secret overflows unrestrained
Surging in all I have learned

6. She loves me...as much as she wished
And strangles the illusion if I imagined

7. She loves me, fervently wishing
I scatter in love what I have gathered

8. And her scent splits open
Illuminated by an enchanting breeze, wherever I cast it

9. Oh a kiss completely blissful
My lifetime is enough that I tasted it

10. And through her an aim to be hoped for
I prayed for her sake and fasted
