1. The rose reminded me of a person's scent
I remember him at every sweet basil

2. If it emanated I could not hold back tears so when
The gentle breeze swayed, it consoled me

3. So the basil shielded me out of fear for
My soul fulfilling the memory of a sweetheart

4. And it's not the sweetheart whom I meant but
Both are equal in estrangement

5. Woe unto me and woe that befalls me
In the grave between me and my shroud

6. A troublemaker, if she walks displeased
Takes her displeasure by force
