1. I sent you as a visitor, so you succeeded with a glance,
And you neglected me until I suspected you.

2. You whispered to the one you love while I was distant,
Oh, how I wish I knew what drew you near.

3. You glanced back at the beauty of her face,
And took pleasure in listening to her melody up close.

4. I see a clear mark from her in your eye,
Your eyes have certainly gained beauty from her eyes.

5. Oh, how I wish I was the messenger and you were me,
So you would be the one sent far away and I would be the one brought near.
