1. How much hardship I've endured for you in words and sayings,
Promises seen, and longing so long.

2. A Friday passes, a month turns away,
And your wishes tomorrow and forever.

3. If the beautiful in your actions escapes me,
I have endured the most beautiful patience for you.

4. And love only increases state after state,
As does the little trickle bit by bit.

5. Do not feel too safe from the turns of nights,
For it leaves the dear one lowly.

6. So it's as if your beautiful face has bid
Farewell repeatedly, farewell repeatedly.

7. When you changed the light for darkness,
It was a poor substitute.

8. It's as if you were never a fresh twig,
Never a sloping dune.

9. Then the one you never reached gloats
While the one you reached remains a friend.
