1. After you left, my life has been
Thwarted from achieving its desires

2. My soul hoped for glory in your company
And I thought luck was on my side

3. I charted a course on the boat of wishes
Love's tender token mid the sand dunes

4. I set the gaze of my thoughts on the brook of joy
To catch the white rabbit of fortune by the hand

5. I grill the thoughts of those hostile to me
And skin the hides of my foes and enviers

6. I string beads of gratitude for you as necklaces
And gather a thread of praise for the wearer of necklaces

7. I sow above my heart the seeds of longing
And reap with my hopes the greatest benefits

8. When my rival in love with his passion assailed
My body's door, opponent of my seat

9. He came with blood dripping from his throat
Displaying in my sanctuary the rags of necklaces

10. So he bent my straightness with his tyranny
And sat me down from atop those cushions

11. He continued his assault with no way to stop him
Seeking to harm a companion enjoying the view

12. So by injustice he made me miss the joy and wishes
And deprived me of scenes of good fortune
