1. The mother slept beside her daughter
And all were drowned in slumber

2. Then they whispered to each other
Of the whispers of girls and mothers!

3. The mother said: Oh my daughter, shame on you!
Shame on you, you spotted snake!

4. If not for you I wouldn't be complete, but
I would still be an untouched virgin branch

5. You have a pillar built by my demise
And a life revived by my death

6. I wish I could, I would kill you, so
I can taste what I tasted of my blood

7. The daughter said: Oh mother dear, shame on you!
You frown-faced, despicable thing!

8. How much longer do you want me to live as you
Used to live in the olden days?

9. You are a heavy knot in my heel
And a veil between me and bliss

10. I wish I could, oh mother,
Kill you, so I can smell the breeze!

11. The mother woke up and said:
My daughter, my dove, embrace me

12. Her daughter embraced her, then said:
You are my soul, and my comfort. Kiss me!
