1. I am forbidden from traveling to you
And if I were able, I would be the first to arrive

2. Do I wrong my benefactor if I complain?
To spite my enemy and frustrate the envious

3. You were my weapon with which I charged
And my hand when times were difficult and an ally

4. Yet I was cast from you without what I hoped for
And man shines with the cool pouring rain

5. But sorrow came without any joy
And the palm of acceptance met the forearm

6. So I was patient like a pious son to his duty
Bearing pain silently for a father's blow

7. And I broke a pact - how could I be faithful?
And I was made to drink apart from you a bitter cup of sorrow
