1. O desire of my soul, I've had enough of your doubts
Though misfortune strikes me, I still strive for you

2. And if hardship befell me to buy your love
I would readily brave it to gain you

3. How can I sleep at night when you stay awake?
Or enjoy a drink that won't quench your thirst?

4. Oh Hunaida, you've pained a heart that you reside in
Why do my eyes weep without your knowing?

5. Many a teardrop I hoarded as pearls
To hold as precious until spent on you

6. If a land beyond reach keeps us apart
Or a veil hides you from me utterly

7. Any breeze that stirs the boughs
Bears a longing message I send to greet you

8. And sometimes a slumber intercedes
Replacing the darkness, so my dream draws near you
