1. The one I love sent a messenger to me
And the one sent is beloved

2. So I said, welcome, O messenger
From a beloved adorned with scent

3. I teased him with a word, so he recoiled
And said, “This is but a test from you”

4. One like you does not love one like me
Though the fair maidens pine for me

5. And the messengers came saying “visit us”
So I came to them, heart trembling

6. She said, “You have fallen for my messenger
Strange wonders have appeared from you”
