1. I wrote the letter then the day passed by
And I do not know the answer to the letter

2. I wonder why the prince does not
See me as worthy of a reply

3. Do not abandon me when you have raised my status
With this estrangement and avoidance of me

4. If I have sinned, I will make amends
And atone with apologies and reproaches

5. For I am truthful, loyal, and steadfast
In my covenants and promises
