1. The heart was stirred by yearning
With intense grief from on high

2. It is challenged by yearnings, and in yearnings murmurs the maid of languid eyes
In them is the fascination of smooth cheeks and clear brow

3. White, bright whiteness
Like the lustrous pearl shell

4. Of high rank and house of glory, in lineage and faith
Indeed, to kill is to be killed

5. By love, for the captive heart
Love of the slain has settled her

6. In the heart, in the place of one who abides
So if the doves' leaves once

7. Rustled on the branches
It reminded me of what I’d forgotten

8. Of youthfulness after a while
Indeed, the sorrowful is roused

9. After numbness, by the weeping of the sorrowful
The length of time hasn't made me forget

10. And what years may pass
Love of the slain, and she remains still

11. A passion for us, after death
