From an impassioned, inflamed lover

In disposition, cunning, and yearning

If it were not for suspicions that tied his soul

I see you impassioned, believing that giving

I see you zealous, believing that giving

So include me among those you treat

As long as you heal them of stinginess

And if not for you, people would refuse

to be treated for this affliction.

To be treated for this illness
