1. When will I quench my thirst, oh how I wish I knew
With a glance towards the one I love, so we could meet and I could reproach him

2. A beloved who was shy so we made our apologies but he did not relent
He was cold so we persisted but we could not win him over

3. So until when will my favor go out to him
And his estrangement does not subside despite my efforts
