1. The longing between us was ardent
And the house would at times cast us off

2. They did not accustom you to staying away from their house
Why yearn when neighbors are near?

3. You see that it does not humble her
That the heart is burdened with the thought of her

4. They claimed that tomorrow the distance grows far
Yet the heart is desiccated by their intentions

5. They have sworn they cut ties between them
And I swore a thousand oaths just as they swore

6. I do not forget our stance, nor hers
Awaiting return, our stances frozen

7. We complain, and she complains, of what we each felt
Each admitting agony from the separation

8. Her words and her tears, a hot brand
Lessen your yearning when you leave

9. If a house turns you all away from us
And your fickle heart is tempted by another
