1. Silence your blame, for I have tamed my soul,
And heeded the counsel of the penitent.

2. Shall I be absent from you and enjoy sleep?
No good after you in a second love.

3. If only you had kept your promise, as
I kept my kindness when our paths did cross.

4. If he who looked upon me happily
Is a specter, then he brought no joy.

5. Enough is the life which I was given
In the shade of your affection and our time.

6. I drank cups in the company of youth
And sang what songs my singer sang for me.

7. To whom do the meadows belong, when they are green?
For we do not sell our days for days.
