1. Love afflicted him, like an arrow
So longing became his garb

2. And passion filled his heart
And turned his rosy cheek pale

3. He is unlike the twisted ones
Like chicory and anise

4. Let time bring good tidings
Of the best of his goodness

5. So pass around the wine cups
To welcome night joyfully

6. With necklaces of saffron
Adorned for her festivity
