1. I stood still, with grief raging in my heart,
And tears of passion streaming down my face.

2. I bid farewell to my love as she turned to leave,
My heart nearly shattering with sorrow.

3. I said, "My darling, what is your intent?
I fear this course, I swear by our bond."

4. God spare me till we meet again from this agony -
No one gains from resisting love's pull.
