May my soul be the ransom for a beloved who slays.
My soul is ransomed for my warrior beloved
She whispers of me, fearing a slanderer who fabricates lies.
My eyes dimmed in fear of his betrayal

Before the reproachers, she held back her tongue’s utterance
In the grip of torment, her tongue uttered
of my name; yet her heart never faltered toward me.
My name, though her heart did not waver
