1. After separation exhausted my tears
And longing and grief were banished,

2. My eyes said to the tears, "Come to the aid of my heart!
O tears, why did you dry up so fast?

3. Go back to being blood—how you used to be—
Obedient to my lasting sorrow, ever ready to flow."

4. Time betrayed me, so my loved one
Turned envious that we were together.
