My life for a fisherwoman, idly playing upon the sea,
I would give my life for a fisherwoman in the sea, engrossed
who, with her beauty, distracts me from all consolation.
in her beauty, while she distracts me from solace.

She catches me as fish are caught, setting me ablaze
She catches me as fish are caught, burning
with her scorn—so she fries me and roasts me.
me with aversion: she hates—and fries—me, and roasts me.
