1. I have intense longing for the sailor
And love that grows stronger each day

2. I am beset by worries whenever
Night falls, for it is intense in her

3. And the cold swooped down and enthralled me
For as you know, I am alone

4. He dispatched his troops and horsemen towards me
And after the soldiers came more soldiers

5. Does he doubt what you promised
Your servant, or were the vows hidden from him?

6. Far be it that your promise would be broken
For tomorrow your pledge will be fulfilled

7. Reconcile the string, O minister, for I
Recall the covenant while you sleep
