1. Oh nights, how bitter are the nights
Since your beautiful beloved face disappeared

2. You are cruel and tormenting, if only I
Could withstand separation and torment

3. Though my love for you is pure
And my heart is yours no matter how much pain

4. My love, our meeting was strange
And we parted, so each felt estranged

5. Except my tears call out for help
I find no place for tears but embers

6. Oh if my tears would flow again
My tears are dry, I cannot cry my beloved
