1. We kept an ancient covenant embroidered
upon the heart, the heart passes away but the covenant does not

2. We were absent from all high and low lands because of you
And we protected your love in our conscience and did not confess

3. We have from you help with proximity just as
you have a soul enamored with you from us

4. You folded in the kernel of the heart the signs of your love
And taught it in passion, yearning and moaning

5. If it moaned for a while out of yearning for your nearness
And if it longed for a while for reunion with you, we longed

6. We blamed fate for what it has done
And how it has veiled the moons of your rising from us

7. If only it would one day soften for our condition
And reunite us so we can go back to how we were
